Happy Belated Easter!
To start off, I hope everyone had a good Easter, and remembered the victory that was won by our Lord and Savior Jesus in His resurrection. It was good to remember it by going to the sunrise service with Michelle. Though being in that church always brings back unpleasant memories, I just focused on the message, however the Good Friday service was particularly nerve-wracking. I don't know why I panicked, but I just remember the crap that my class there put me through, and I don't enjoy re-living it. However, I realize that it was all just childish crap. It's in the past, and even though those people inadvertently scarred me, in a way. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the services, they were great, but just the school kind of...yeah.

After that I went to Starbucks to redeem a free coupon I got when they screwed up my order the last time, and I gots myself some coffee AND a free toasted bagel! It totally made my day that I got a free breakfast from there, that and picking up my mom from the bus that took her from the airport from China. She brought me back some early birthday presents from my relatives in Finland, as well as a photo album from my great-grandma's funeral last October. My dad also sent me his old hockey jersey from his Shanghai team, the team formerly known as the "red guard," but now they're the "paper tigers" which means foreigners in Chinese since the team is made up of people from all over the globe that live there. But anyway, I could have made the earlier bus (7:30) but my mom came around 6:30ish. I decided to take the 10:00 bus, just so that I could see her a little bit before I came back to good ol' Mad-town, though I didn't tell her that.

But now...I'm kind of missing my dad. I think it might be because my mom said that he'll be coming after Midsummer's Eve (around June 21-22) but I'll be working in Minnesota then at the camp. He could come to the "International Day" that they have, where all the language camps come together to celebrate peace, but they discourage family and friends visiting. Maybe I could ask for some time off for when he comes? I don't know. It's still not clear when he's going to be visiting, but I sure hope I'll be able to see him.

Sorry for the long post, just a lot happened in the past few days I guess. Take Care and God Bless.
