sign #2 - take 3

i was thinking about how sometimes my life works in cycles: two years ago i felt like i was re-experiencing my life from two years before that. today i was wondering if that'll happen again. two year cycles, man. they're nuts.

then i read this on trevor's blog. coincidence?? i think not. so, i'm reflecting now, too.

10 years ago:
- i was in my last year of junior high
- my closest friends were valeria, monica, natalie, and dhruv
- i met g. mango, a self-proclaimed "jesus freak" and informed her that i was "not religious"
- i was about to start liking won, who would become my first boyfriend
- i was taking grade 10 math with the best math school ever!
- i loved the euphonium
- i cried a lot
- i watched "friends" obsessively
- i wore baby t-shirts and overalls

5 years ago:
- i was in my first year of university
- my closest friends at school were melanie and julianna
- i hated economics and loved calculus
- i liked eating dinner in an academic gown
- i cried less
- i had begun competitively debating

1 year ago:
- i was in my first year at rocky
- i realized i was pretty liberal for a bible college in alberta
- i was a month into a new job, which is . . . scary
- i had very little hair
- i didn't really have close friends at school, but nav and fil and i were getting closer
- my church didn't have pastors, and i really wanted a chance to preach

1 day ago:
- i went to class at 8:17 and thought about islam
- i had a meeting with my department and thought about being single (*this* is why, g.mango! couples surround me!)
- i slept most of the day and thought about avoiding all-nighters in the future
- i talked to both lysa and danielle and thought about my job
- i went to class at 6:31 and thought about wisdom
- i cleaned my apartment, watched "the manchurian candidate", and thought about conspiracies
- i talked to steve on the phone, and thought about God
