life in Pentagon!
ok, as promised, this post will be mostly pictures! =)
Pentagon is the student apartment complex where i'm living - there's 10 apartment buildings, im not sure how many students live here, but it seems like a lot! we are all a couple minutes from each other so it's super nice!
these are the girls in my flat! (not the most attractive picture of any of us, but it was the first time all of us were in the apartment at the same time so we had to seize the moment!). L-R: Shirin from Iran, Rose from Cameroon, Hema from Nepal, Chiara from Italy and me! very international house!! =) we had a "family dinner" a few nights ago, Rose made some sort of African chicken stew with yams. and me and Chiara are going to make dinner for us tomorrow night! the girls are all really great, we've been having an awesome time together so far and im really glad to share the next couple months together!!
and today we had a birthday party for our friends Ola from Norway (left) and Andrew from Canada (right) (abbotsford actually!)!
me, Debbie and Laurent made the cake together!
it's a train!!! isnt it cute?? the front car is a pineapple cake, and the back (of course) is chocolate. one of my prouder moments as a chef! =D
it was a fun get-together, dinner and cake followed by...
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SNOWBALL FIGHT in the courtyard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we all got ourselves very wet and snowy before we called it quits!! its unfortunate i have no aim when i throw but still very much fun!
and tomorrow, i'm going to check out one more church there is here in town. i've been to the Ås church with mostly older folks, and to the "little red chapel"... a mostly student service, mostly African students. interesting, lots of energy. i've been told there's one more church that meets in the evening in one of the buildings on campus, so i'll go see tomorrow. hopefully i'll find a church to settle in soon. =)
hope you are all doing well. keep me updated with your going-ons back home! im a little sad to be missing the epic snowboard season but lots of great new experiences to be had here too! =)

Very impressive cake making!
That must be such a fun experience to live with a global household. Think of all the languages you could pick up over these next months. :-)
