So summer is over again and last week I started my 4th year of university... It is crazy to think that in just 8 short months I am going to be graduating and this chapter of my life will be over! <br />
<br />
The whole process of university has been such a time of personal change for me but at the same time I do really feel like the same little Emily who walked into that big lecture hall 3 years ago... I am excited to see what this year and the rest of the future bring... I'm sure it will be a wild ride!<br />
<br />
In the meantime... Here are a few things that I have been enjoying recently:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.demilked.com/jee-young-lee-surreal-photography-studio-room/">These</a> spaces are beautiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are a Lord of the Rings fan then you need to read this. <a href="http://www.dorkly.com/article/51050/some-concerns-about-saurons-battle-plan">Some concerns about Sauron's battle plan</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so I'm may be a bit of a wimp but I can't help but feel sorry for the <a href="http://digg.com/video/what-you-get-when-you-pour-molten-aluminum-into-an-ant-hill">poor ants</a>... Super cool though! But, would you want it in your house?<br />
<br />
I have been working on figuring out what my personal style actually looks like lately... Right now it is looking a lot like this:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBmOiUwMyuDVuI31Atmsy5tk-0zJXEJTeHDzbqmD6vCxq9YC6Q4NKJ_eULThx_hUF0RaBO423LbYjc-hbuPwlJaLWbuDFIJ5q3ZFUjBzogRo37OeWAkRA1xqKS0yaoJLExN1ailWdHGM8/s400/dfab86da2ea5f1c253de5760225596e2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="307" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pinterest.com/source/women-outfits.com/">via</a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not that different from what I usually wear, but I have found that having a visual of something that I like and know looks good on me really helps for those days that I feel like I don't have anything to wear! If you are interested in seeing more of my inspirations you can check out my style board <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/maybefabulous/things-that-i-couldwould-actually-wear-right-now/">here.</a></div>

Are you right-brained or left-brained? <a href="http://braintest.sommer-sommer.com/en/">This 30 second quiz</a> will help you find out! Unsurprisingly, I am an almost exact 50/50 split :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What would you add to this list of <a href="http://thoughtcatalog.com/leah-froehle/2014/03/101-things-i-will-teach-my-daughters/">things to teach your daughter?</a> What would a list of your son look like?</div>

How much is personal expression and how much is facade? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How much of what we are, and do, and see, and wear, and how we do our hair, and where we send our kids to school, and who we choose to be our friends is really <u>us?</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How much of it is planted in out heads by the media, and the 'world views' that are constantly being streamed in to our heads?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, even ignoring that, how much of it is our innate desire to 'fit in', to 'blend' with the people around us? To not stand out as 'different'?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I choose what I am going to wear in the morning how much of what I like is really my subconscious analyzing the world around me and telling me what will make me look the most like everyone else? Is this concept of individuality really real or is it just something that we have come up with to make ourselves feel better and unique?<br />
<br />
How much of how I react to the people around me and how I act in my everyday life is really me and how much of it is how I have been shaped by my environment?<br />
<br />
How is anyone really a person without their environment to shape them?<br />
<br />
How often do we inadvertently hurt the people around us just because we don't understand their environment and way of thinking?<br />
<br />
How often do we <u>deliberately</u> hurt people just because we don't understand their environment and way of thinking?<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Why is it so important?<br />
<br />
How much of that desire is just everything around us telling us to be the same, to not stand out? Do we have that desire because we know that to stand out will cause us pain? Or does standing out cause us pain because we have been told that it will?<br />
<br />
Will this ever really change? Or will the only change be what we identify as different?<br />
<br />
<br />

So I just realized that I never did a wrap up post for Guatemala. You know, the post that goes: "I got home safe, now here is a beautiful wrap up of the whole month". Well here I am so obviously I got home safe :) And, maybe sometime in the future I will find the time and energy to do a full recap (probably not :) ), but in the meantime I will just say that the whole experience was wonderful and that the last week was full of laughter and tears and went by much too fast.<br />
<br />
Currently I am surviving my third year of university (which is doing its utmost to kill me slowly) and trying to figure out who I am and what I want to do for the rest of my life (light stuff). But right now I'm on reading week so all of that is on hold :)<br />
<br />
I have also started crocheting and knitting as much as I possibly can, lighting a billion and one candles every night, and drinking more tea than is humanly possible (except that it obviously is) all of which is really helping with the stress :)<br />
<br />
<br />
So, here is a little bit of my life lately:<br />
<br />
My 22nd birthday was yesterday which means that now this song can be the soundtrack of my life (except maybe not :) )<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<a href="http://www.foreveramber.co.uk/">Forever Amber</a> is my favourite blog to read any time. She always makes me laugh and I looove how she dresses :) <a href="http://www.megfee.com/">Meg Fee</a> is another of my favourite bloggers.. Her words are so beautiful.<br />
<br />
I recently discovered <a href="http://8tracks.com/">8 Tracks</a> which is an awesome music sharing type place that I love :)<br />
(If you're interested, <a href="http://8tracks.com/subtlesuggestions/indefinite-reverie">here</a> is the playlist that I am listening to while I write this).<br />
<br />
Also, <a href="http://www.nasa.gov/">this</a> because space is cool :)<br />
<br />
And, here are <a href="http://diply.com/different-solutions/photos-will-restore-faith-in-humanity/66912">27 picture to restore your faith in humanity</a> (and maybe make you cry), and <a href="http://aplus.com/a/29-posts-ban-facebook">here are 29 people to crush that hope</a> (but maybe make you laugh).<br />
<br />
I am really wanting to travel right now... nowhere in particular.. just everywhere! So I occasionally do searches that go something like "student travel" travelling on a student budget" or "working vacation". So far all the options those bring up still require money to get where I'm going so it looks like I will be staying home this summer... Oh well, a girl can dream :) <br />
<br />

<br />
I am definitely going to try to make <a href="http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/10/waffle-iron-churros-recipe.html">these</a> sometime soon!<br />
<br />
Annnd, I have started some choreography again so I have been watching a bunch of dance stuff and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7UXg4gATA4">this improv</a> is just gorgeous.<br />
<br />
ALSO, (sorry got a little excited there :) ), also, this is the 150th post on this blog!! I feel like that is a pretty big accomplishment!<br />
<br />
Finally, it has been pretty cold here this winter and this is what I have been looking like when I catch the bus in the morning :)<br />

It has been another busy week here! I finally feel like I am beginning to figure some stuff out and build relationships with all of these awesome kids and my time here is almost at an end! How is that even fair :(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Without focusing on the unfairness of it all, this week was really great :) I taught the Nutrition section of my four week 'healthy living' course that I have been doing at youth group in the villages and I think that it was the best yet! I think that is partly due to the fact that I know the kids a little better now and partly due to the fact that my Spanish has improved a bit since I first got here :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also did my first full week of teaching at CETEDI which was definitely not without its struggles but rewarding at the same time as I get to know the kids and see them improve :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday I finally got to see a real market day here in Sumpango which is crazy and so much fun!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of the games for my Nutrition course was Pictionary where all the kids had to draw a food and then we would talk about if that food was healthy or not and why... It was a big hit and everyone got really into it. Some of these kids are <i>competitive!</i></div>

In Santa Marta we introduced Russian Soccer which is soccer with three balls that all have different rules (girls only, boys only, hands only, etc.) It was a big hit!</div>

And that is it for now! It feels completely surreal that this is my last week here and that I have been here for close to a month now... In some ways it feels like I have been here forever but I mostly feel like I have just started my adventure... I am trying to savour each moment as I look forward to the new adventures that this week will bring.</div>

This past week was if
anything <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">more</i> hectic than my first
week here!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the team here from
Brampton each day felt super packed as we did what sometimes felt like three
days in one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Luckily I am finally
feeling better again and I was able to take part in all the fun and games :)</div>

teaching in youth group this week was on Hygiene so we handed out little
packages with toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo and a washcloth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was fun to see the kids going through
their ‘regalos’ (gifts).</div>

We had a kick off
event on Thursday in a village called Las Flores where Gerry and Barb are just
starting out with youth group.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyone had a great time as we played pool noodle lacrosse and pretzel
and then the kids made a craft with a little bit about themselves and their
favourite things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will help
Barb and Gerry to figure out their demographic for the village as well as help
them to keep all the kids straight :) </div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hi
everyone! I am going to try my very best to blog once a week for the four weeks
that I am here in Guatemala so that if you want to you can follow along on my
adventure :)</span><span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This is my second full day here in Sumpango and it has been
pretty stellar so far.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am still
adjusting to all of the crazy/cool sights and sounds around me as well as keep
up with the rapid fire Spanish!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Not everything has been perfect though; I was pretty sick yesterday as the altitude (6000ft!) Seems to be hitting me pretty hard: P<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">But in spite of that I managed to get to take a trip to the
market with Barb to get some supplies for an event this morning and meet most
of the PILAS kids as many of them slept over last night :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 13.5pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">This morning was great as Gerry and Barb had a Sunday School
Teacher appreciation event in their home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I was able to help a bit with setting up and organizing the games, which
was really fun, and the food at breakfast was great! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was also really fun to meet and talk with everyone (a bit,
I wasn’t kidding about having to catch up with my Spanish!) and see them
enjoying themselves :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I think as Christians we have a tendency to forget that we are all equal in our brokenness. I read a post a while ago by Annie over at<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.anniewiltse.com/" target="_blank">what she saw</a></span> that really takes this idea home for me. She is talking about how we see other peoples sins (brokenness) as worse than our own and then judge them for it. Crazy right? You can check it out<span style="color: blue;"> <a href="http://www.anniewiltse.com/2013/01/redemption-calling.html" target="_blank">here</a></span> if you are interested.<br />
<br />
But that is not what I really want to talk about today. I want to talk about the fact that we as Christians also have the saddest tendency to go the other way, to swing to the other extreme. We get so focused on our own brokenness that we forget that the people around us are broken too! <br />
<br />
What I mean by that is that we get so caught up in wanting to fix ourselves and 'oh I need prayer for this', and 'oh God help me', that we forget to really open our eyes and see the people around us, our brothers and sisters in Christ that need that help or that prayer too! I am not saying that they need it more than we do by any means; but we are supposed to be a body, and a body is in trouble when each part just decides that it is going to do its own thing! <br />
<br />
I was having a conversation with my mom about something different the other day and she said something that really stuck with me: She said that we all spend too much time on just looking out for ourselves and that if everyone just looked out for everyone else, we would have more people helping us way better than we could ever help ourselves. <br />
<br />
And that does not just apply to Christians, it applies to everyone that you meet in your day. We as humans need to care about people other than ourselves.<br />
<br />
In our culture it is so easy to just focus on yourself and your own problems and forget to look around you. It doesn't even require that much effort, just a smile or a 'how are you' that you really mean.<br />
<br />
And the thing is that yes we are all broken. But just because something is broken doesn't mean it isn't beautiful. And, in helping someone else you might just find that you take that part of you that is broken and turn it into something better than it was before.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I have realized lately that I am afraid of being the red shirt. I am not saying that I think that I am going to die on an alien planet somewhere. I am saying that when things get tough or when something is going on I don't want to be the poor sap who doesn't have a clue and ends up getting shot or blown up or something within the first five seconds. I want to be Captain Kirk, or Spock, or Dr. Mccoy. Because they always know what is going on and they always come out on top. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, the truth is that it is easier to be the red shirt (up until you die). If you are the red shirt then you don't need to make any hard decisions or face choices that could effect a lot of people, you just follow orders and trundle along in your own little world doing your own little thing and you don't really need to do all that much thinking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And maybe that is what I am afraid of. That I will take the easy way out. But the problem with that is that in the end the red shirt is always the one that dies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnKdRtHmUFLPOcZciYBs45EfvTQ94-l0xJ2dW0oXMTebZ_eVEqBbpf4bb-bmYt191w1DQTQymDFgip1sr3Sa57wD_g7lnX3mxmz_vkX0h7XXgsyNqMUup__adNsBLulJV5LxzbXWFfQHQ/s1600/expendability.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="470" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnKdRtHmUFLPOcZciYBs45EfvTQ94-l0xJ2dW0oXMTebZ_eVEqBbpf4bb-bmYt191w1DQTQymDFgip1sr3Sa57wD_g7lnX3mxmz_vkX0h7XXgsyNqMUup__adNsBLulJV5LxzbXWFfQHQ/s640/expendability.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
So I guess the lesson here is not to wear red.....<br />
<br />
Or I could go deep with it and say that I am going to do my best to make my life mean something and not take the easy way out.<br />
<br />
Whatever works for you.<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend everyone!</div>

Sorry that I went AWOL for a bit... Life caught up with me and I just didn't have the time or energy for blogging :P Buuut, hopefully I am back now :) I do say hopefully though because school is starting back up again this weekend so we will see how that goes... I am going to aim for once a week :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, anyway, here are some of my favourite links from around the web: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://weavesilk.com/">This</a> is insanely cool and slightly addicting. (if you hang in for a bit you get different colours :))</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These <a href="http://twistedsifter.com/2013/08/historic-black-white-photos-colorized/">colourized photos</a> are a teensy bit mind blowing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This post <a href="https://flysoftly.wordpress.com/2013/07/30/the-true-story-of-a-seven-year-marriage/">on marriage</a> is great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDDfNKSwipA">This guy</a> is my daily wind down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I had my doubts after Selena Gomez released 'Come and Get It' (not that it wasn't catchy, it just made me a bit uncomfortable :P ), I really like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59i4PAJtQhM">this one</a> so we might be ok again :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, this <a href="http://vimeo.com/66753575">short </a>made me laugh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, finally, this random picture of a canal in Amsterdam.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So excited to be doing The Nail Files link up again! A little surprised that it is now hosted by <a href="http://wellshutthefrontdoor.blogspot.ca/">Jennie</a> (look what happens when you leave for 5 weeks!), but I am excited to see where she takes it :)</div>

So I am taking a day off today and actually had some time to do something a bit more interesting than one solid colour :) So, I did a ombreish drippy thing with a couple of oranges I had sitting around. I know it is still not that crazy but I really like it :) </div>

Hi everyone!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I am back home again after my gallivanting all over the world :) I had tons of fun but it is good to be home again :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I still have to go through the zillions of pictures I took, but prepare for a picture overload as soon as I am done!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the meantime... here are some of my favourite songs of the summer:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't know that I will get a chance to post tomorrow so I will just say now that I have really enjoyed the 30 Day Snap :) It has forced me to post everyday which actually turned out to be way more manageable than I thought it would be :) I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have!</div>

Aannnddd.... Some random links to stuff that is awesome and cool:<br />
<br />
I stumbled across <a href="http://www.flowerchilddwelling.com/2013/05/to-women.html">this post</a> recently which basically says all the things that I believe about women and feminism in much better words than I ever could.<br />
<br />
This <a href="http://drkellyflanagan.com/2013/04/17/a-daddys-letter-to-his-little-girl-about-her-future-husband/">letter </a>from a father to his daughter about her future husband is just beautiful.<br />
<br />
Love <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C70SnkZETc0">this song</a> by The Honey Trees.<br />
