The Term of Endearment

So school began yesterday. It was really amazing, for a first day of school. None of those jitters or nerves. I was super excited to find out what it would be like, who I'd meet, and what I'd learn.

So for those of you who don't know him, Kevin Prosch is an amazing musician, songwriter, singer, and hippy. The keyboard that he plays is covered with stuffed toys, and he's wearing all his Indian-style shirts, and rastafarian hair styles. He's really cool. I think his first session yesterday morning was almost worth the plane trip over here in and of itself.

I had lunch break with a really nice girl called Karen, who drove me to her house to see all her family, meet her brothers and sisters and parents (Catherine and Don Stevens) who are all a super friendly bunch. So that was nice not to have to eat any more Fast Food than I can possibly help.

We then had a get-to-know you time in the main meeting hall. Everyone stood up and introduced themselves, and told us their names, and why they had come to the School of Worship. I did the Aussies proud by saying G'day, and letting all the guys in the room know that they can come and see me for Aussie accent lesson, as it's a real hit with the ladies.

I also went to the Youth Meeting at Bethel, which was a bit of fun. It's cool to see Ben, my good friend, doing what he does best, and for me to be there to see him lead his group of kids, and do such a good job of it.

We inevitably ended up at In'N'Out (more fast food, thanks), where we hung out with a bunch of people we'd met at church. I had the world's thickest milkshake. The In'N'Out Burger is something of a Californian Native fast food joint, as it's not located in any of the other states. The only real gimmick of theirs is that they only have 3 menu options (different varieties of burgers and chips). I guess they are confident that their meals are exactly what you want. But anyways...

So today was more School. I am just finishing lunch break now, so I will keep you posted over the next couple of days. Our term here at School of Worship is only 3 weeks, but already I am meeting some really cool people, from all different places, with different musical tastes, abilities, and styles. I'm confident that the rest of the 'term' will be very enjoyable.

Stay tuned for the next update, when I go and see Superman Returns, and post my review.

Talk to you soon,


Joel
