Blaaaaargh

Well today has been alright so far...got up at 10 something feeling horrible and having gotten a call from a driving school man about facilitating a Defensive Driving course here during the school holidays.

This means two things - Jacquie is doing well with community youth work, and Jacquie is going to be missing Snow Camp because community takes priority over ministry.

Having the youth centre has also opened up a bit of a snag opportunity. I mean, it's not BAD, per se...but John has decided to get Godzone up and running again because it looks like I am failing on the "older group" end of the ministry. It's really sad because I'm trying. And it has given people the impression that Godzone worked and Fusion didn't - which isn't the case. Because Fusion and Godzone have two entirely different purposes...ggrrrr.

It also means that I'll likely be losing Dan and Katrina as leaders - which won't leave me crippled but it means Iain and Karl are on every week now...and we're lacking in the younger leaders department. I guess I shouldn't be too worried about it...except Iain says it himself that he's not a youth leader type of person - he will always come along to support but he has very little patience...hehe it's kinda funny, actually, to see his face when kids are all over the place.

Anyways...yeah it's hard because I don't want to feel like a failure. But I kind of do, because I know that some people can say "well at least we know what worked and what didn't" even though a) that's comparing apples and oranges and b) neither apples nor oranges worked.

Argh.

The good thing is that the vending company came by to sell us products to sell to the kids here. She asked where I was from and I said Canada...and then she held up a Hersey's Skor bar...asking if I recognized it.

I think I almost passed out. I completely forgot about Skor bars! How amazing was it that she was handing me one for FREE! As I type this sentence, I am savouring the last beautiful bite of this chocolate bar. Wow. hehe. She had to have known that she made my day! It was beautiful. She also had a few Reese products (though not Peanut Butter Cups. Sad) and left those with me as well to sell. I fear the kids may never see those products. hehe...

Anyways, things are okay. I'm going to go play a good half hour of Need for Speed Underground 2 on the Playstation 2, as it is officially my lunch break.

This is the most time I've ever spent on a video game in my life...except maybe Mario Party back in the day. And considering I'm using the steering wheel instead of the controller, I'm doing pretty well! I've already fulfilled my Eurolite contract...hehe I know it's lame but I'm hooked alright?

See ya later.
