Wednesday night I went out with three of my favorite seniors: Charis, Crystal, and Anna. These three girls became some of my greatest friends here. As tough as it was to say goodbye to them (because they're on senior trip now and wont get back until I leave) we did it the best way we knew how....by getting pedicures and drinking chai lattes!!! Charis and Anna will be going to college in the states next year for nursing, while Crystal will be staying here in Manila to play basketball at Ataneo College.
Once I got back that night I made a late night Starbucks run with Felicity. We took her laptop and a movie we planned on watching but we couldn't stop talking long enough to even turn the thing on!
Thursday during the day our class spent most of the day off campus. First period we played Win, Lose, or Draw. Then we hopped in the school van, which I drove, to my favorite mall Eastwood. On the way we got stuck in the worst traffic jam I've been in here in the PI. It took us about 30 minutes to go a quarter of a mile. ugh. But once we finally arrive, we ate brunch at McDo, sat and played cards at a coffee shop, walked around the mall, bowled a game, and then went to the candy store. Susan and I played a game during the day that we named "White Person". We were trying to see who could see the most white people during the day. I think by the end she won with 8 and I had 7. It was so great spending time with them outside of the classroom. They're really great kids.
Johanna, the only girl in the class, is having her last day today. So it's another "see ya later" I'll have to do and quite possibly one of the toughest yet.
Thursday night my girl mary and I went out. She's a junior here at Faith Academy that God has allowed me to disciple and just build a friendship with. We have been having our "date night" every Thursday night this semester. It's a time we took to chat (a lot about boys and lessons learned in life), encourage each other spiritually, have fellowship, pray, eat, watch movies, and spend time in Gods word. This was our last date night so we had to end with a bang. We rode the train to Gateway mall where we ate Taco Bell and watched Shrek 3 in the lazy boy theater. So nice. Although it wasn't our final goodbye, it was a bitter-sweet night knowing it was our last.
Oh, and once I got back from that I made another late night (even later than night before) run with Chris to...ya you guessed it...Starbucks :-)
The schedule for the last of my days here is also pretty packed. But hey, atleast I have 4, 12, and 2 hour flights home to catch up on sleep! I'm sure you'll be seein some pictures from the nights to come!
