Due to a lack of creativity, this blog post shall not have any intricate theme woven into the words. However, I'm aware that an update of my life is necessary. So, without further ado, The Life of Kate Stevenson, Gapper Extrodinaire, and her February escapades.
February 6th: Our "regular" Pharos schedule went into effect on this date. The week that followed was full of meetings and planning out the semester. It ended with Kairos Weekend 2012.
February 10th: Kairos Weekend 2012 was held in Dublin, Ireland. 140 university students came together from Beirut, Belfast, Bielsko, Dublin, Glasgow, London, Leuven, Munich, and Vitoria. The theme was Power from On High. I had the privilege of being a part of the music team, which has been one of the highlights of my Gap year. At the weekend, I made new friends, grew other budding friendships, and made some best friends.
February 15th: My baby brother turned 18. It felt weird to think about. Also, we had our first social event of the semester. Casino Night was full of cards, snacks, beer, and chatting. It provided a relaxed atmosphere where Sam gave our plug for the Life in the Spirit to begin the following week.
February 20th: Presidents Day. This day my household was invited to have dinner over to the guys' household. Javi's parents were visiting, and they made dinner. Unbeknownst to them, they made my favorite meal. I considered it a little birthday present from God, since my birthday was only 2 days later.
February 22nd: Ash Wednesday. I turned 20. I found much pleasure this day by making comments about how I woke up with more wrinkles and needed to start using a cane. Pharos put on its first Life in the Spirit Seminar night. In a room arranged to feel like a pub, we aimed to provide a comfortable environment for people to learn about God and the new life we can have in Him. We began with a dinner, moved on to a talk, and ended with discussion groups. We also had Coffee Stall and a prayer meeting, so the day was really busy. However, throughout the whole day, I felt extremely loved.
That's February.
In other news, the official ending date of my Gap year: June 12th. However, I am hoping to stay for the summer! I'll let you all know my returning date within the next 2 months.
