Well I've reached another week here at the U of S, the weather seems to be trying desperately to hold off the impending winter. Classes are starting to pick up especially my Comm 101 class which between now and the middle of November has and assignment or test due pretty much every class. Similarly most of my other commerce class have a lot of assignments due in the next month or so and although the don't take a long time to complete they need to be done none the less. As well the there is quite a bit more reading than compared to my first year as the profs here barely touch on the text and expect you to read it so you know all the concepts. Latin continues to get harder as we now have to learn 3rd declination nouns as well as neuter (neither) nouns and their corresponding adjectives. My touch football team is about to kickoff the season this Thursday, we're playing in an "A" league so we don't have much hope in getting to the playoffs. As well I'm only able to play in half the games as I have a class Thursday late afternoons, but it should be fun none the less.
Today was also the first day for the bible study I joined through C4C which looks promising as there are only 4, maybe 5 guys in the group so it should be some good discussions. There is also a worship/sermon night on Fridays that's on campus that I've been going to, and there is usually a social activity afterwards (last week it was a photo scavenger hunt). I'm also still looking for a church as I didn't really like the one I went to on the Sunday before last, although good was a bit slow for my taste. Apparently there is a Mennonite church that a few people in C4C go to so I'll have to see if I can get a ride from one of them or make use of my bus pass that I have. The good thing although I don't have many friends in my classes I do have quite a few that I usually see around campus everyday which definitely helps to stop the home sickness. Oh there is also a weekend retreat for christian university students at the end of Sept that I'll be going to and it looks really fun and a good time to get a breather from school. Also there is like 21 girls signed up compared to just 9 guys but of course I should be a good student, and not worry about getting a girlfriend :)
Anyways check back next week as I expand on the monotony of Rez food.

Oh and hey, I heard there was a power outage in Saskatchewan this morning... too bad it didn't hit Saskatoon, you could have slept in :D Oh well, cross your fingers Saskatchewan continues to suck like it always has and you get another one. Haha, just kidding... kind of.
I am going to try calling you this weekend. Not sure when, it will be a surprise! Have a good week Tyler!
