Welcome to all the people coming over from China Bound. To readers of Gilligan’s Island who also read China Bound, China Bound is no more.
Well, you can still access the site for now, but I won’t be posting over there anymore. The weekly traffic there is less than the hourly traffic here. Sad, I know.

and Home again

The weekend in Vancouver was a great sucess. I have now met all of the team except one member from Toronto. I think we have a great team and it was lots of fun to hang out all weekend, although tiring at times. I also got to hang out with Anna who I don’t talk to nearly enough and see Nanc who I don’t see much either .


The days are counting down until I am done school! It is hard to believe that that day is finally coming. I had a presentation last night for my seminar and that seemed to go well. We got our paper back (the one we wrote in 2 marathon sessions over 2 days) and he said it was “Great!” (he told us that just before the presentation, so that was a big encouragement). Now I don’t have to think about breast self examination and mammography again (at least until I’m 40, but thats a whole other story)… Instead, I get to think about art history. My last paper of my undergrad career is art history and is due on Friday. I have never written an art history paper before. I keep hearing things about images from people and am hoping I don’t need copious amounts of pictures because I have no idea where I will get them from. In fact, I don’t even really know how to research for art history, but that is beside the point. I have 3 articles… I usually have 2 pages worth of sources for a paper this big, but we’ll make something work.

China…

I’ve just spent the week in Nanaimo for group planning our trip to China with IVCF in July/August. We’ve started a blog site for that, so follow there for all the info on China: Xining Global Parnership. I’ve also got a side blog to this one at China Bound. Nine out of 14 of us were there this weekend, and it was really neat becuase I had met all of them before. Jeff and Anna are coming, which is very exciting for me because I haven’t gotten to spend much time with Anna in the last few years. And there are three of us from Victoria. Christine I have gotten to know over the last year in Bible Study, but I don’t know Nicole that well (or didn’t before this weekend anyway!) so it was really good that way.
We’ll be posting China stuff on there fairly regularily, along with photos.
But, here’s some photos that didn’t make the cut for that site:
