Quite An Eventful Last Day

The Last Day of SLI

To start off, this morning in class we had a previous SLI graduate come in and share his testimony with us, give us post-SLI advice and he shared his thoughts with us. I loved it and it was very valuable. The whole time thus far that he was with us was about 45 minutes (plus 30 minutes during devotions).   For the next 15 minutes he led us in a time of worship, also very valuable.  I was sad when it ended, for I felt fully in the presence of God.   Then, about 10:00am, we had our break.   During our break we were in the back room talking and chatting away.  Bryce came in, joined the conversation a bit, though I noticed he was a bit distracted - but I though nothing of it at the time.   He then looked around in the shelves and such for who knows what, typical of Bryce.  Then he walked out.   We, thinking nothing unusual about it, except that he wasn't really getting on to us for not being back in our seats after break time was up, continued chatting away.  After a short bit, we noticed an egg smell, almost like rotten eggs.   We looked around a bit trying to find the source of the smell until it occurred to us that Bryce had finally played a end-of-the-year prank on us.  Bryce had set off a Stink Bomb in the room.  To no surprise Bryce, along with a couple students, had left the room and were holding the door shut.  At first we thought he did something to the water in a mug on the table by the remaining cake and tried to play a prank back on him (in a small way), but he assured us that he did nothing to the water.   Finally we found the small broken glass bottle and yellow goo under the mug, that was the source of our smell.   So we ripped up the paper that was under it and took it out in the hall as if we were going to throw it away, however I took it down by Bryce's office to let it ferment his office over the weekend.

After this, we did a little bit of review, clean up and food prep for tomorrow.  A little after 11:00am we all left for a restaurant called Jacks to eat out with our instructors from the year.  It was a really good meal.

In the later afternoon/evening Abi, Julia, Daniel and I went to Skyzone Trampoline Park as the adults were heading out to eat together.   It was a blast!

On the way home, being after 6:00pm and not eaten supper yet, we were hungry.  Our original plan was to make some frozen chicken fingers once we got home, but Julia really wanted Chinese.  So, with her offering to pay, we stopped at a carry out Chinese restaurant and got some food.  While we waited for out food we walked over to a near-by pet store and got to look at some cool birds.  Once we got home, we sat down with our Chinese food and watched Inception.   - A really great movie.  It really makes you think - I've seen it 7 or 8 times at least, and yet it's still good and I learn new things.
