Hey guys,
It’s been a really long time since I’ve updated. I’m not going to give any excuses or now seemingly empty promises to update more frequently. I do feel bad about not updating when I said I would, but I’m working on it.
So, for those of you who don’t know yet, I am now the president of a youth run organization called Presbyterian Young Peoples Society, or PYPS for short. I’m actually very excited to be the president of this organization because of how much it’s meant to me over the years. PYPS was one of the big things that really got me thinking about God and the place faith has in my life. It’s also one of the places where I’ve created some amazing friendships, and me some very awesome people. To be given the chance to really contribute and give back to the organization that’s given so much to me is really a huge honour.
I mention this now because today we had our first PYPS Executive meeting, and it went quite well. Actually no, it was awesome! I had a little too much planned to cover today, and we had to save a bit for the next meeting so we wouldn’t go over the two hour time limit I set for myself. But that’s alright, I’m still super excited to be running the show, and I can’t wait for the next meeting!
The other thing that I wanted to mention quickly today was that my birthday was last Friday, and as would happen, I got a call from my best friend back in Calgary! I haven’t spoken to him in years, but he called me up and we talked for a good half hour just catching up a bit, then he had to head out, but just hearing from him, and the fact that he remembered my birthday after all these years was a pretty awesome birthday gift from him. His birthday is just a few days away now, actually so I had better not forget his birthday this year!
AIESEC work is still keeping me busy, as is my school work. I was actually at UOttawa this weekend giving a presentation about my trip to Turkey. It was lots of fun, and I’ve gotten some good feedback from it. I’m kinda hoping for some criticism too so I can improve my presentation skills.
Since I’m now doing lots of AIESEC, PYPS and school work, I’ve got very little free time. Yet for some reason, I’m completely insane and have been trying to find ways to occupy more of my time… one of which is trying to find a good company name, which I don’t really have a product for, so having a company name is kind of pointless at this point but… well… I guess I’m not really into doing things in a logical way. And hey, who knows? Maybe this name will become really big in the future. I actually kinda hope it does, but first things first, I need to find a product to make.
I’m now also very tired, and my voice is shot from speaking for about 6 or 7 hours today, so… time to do school work!
Thanks for reading!
Mike
