4 day weekend and some pics!!

Here are a few pics of amrit and simrit. This is in Gurbani class. They were taking a break while the teacher helped other students. The gurbani teacher doesn't speak much english but we can comunicate with him ok. The one of Kartar is after school in the Library durring study hall. That is Guru Darshan with me. We're sitting in the back of the school bus on the way to the golden temple

We started doing 2 and a half hours of chanting the shabad "Ray Man..." every morning. We are doing it for 40 days. You had a choice of either doing that or going to sewa. Most people chose ray mans because we are going to have at least 2 other 40-day sewa trips durring the year. Amrit, Kartar and I are all doing ray mans and Simrit is doing sewa. We wake up at 2am now. At 2:30 ray mans start and the sewa people leave. We take a 10 minute break after an hour and have to leave the room and go walk around. After 40 days we will have said it about 12,000 times! The 12th graders are going to do this really intensive meditation course where they will do it for 18hours a day!
This last weekend was so awesome because it was 4 days long! Saturday night we had our halloween dance party which was super fun...everyone dressed up, i was a narcoleptic person...haha i thought it was funny. Simrit was that freaky girl from The Ring...it was so perfect for her...she looked really freaky! Amrit was a faerie,flower person and i don't know if kartar dressed up as a pirate or not.
Saturday was town leave...it was shorter than usual but fun as always. Sunday, gurdwara, i ordered Dominoes pizza afterwards...the rest of teh day i was lazy...watched a movie.
Monday was soooo awesome!!! Guru Parkash and Nirinjan and I went to Ananda's room after breakfast and finished a movie and talked about babies and life and beauty. Then G. P. and I cooked phalaphals, hummus and we made raitha and salad and toast and ate it all together while watching desperate houswives with ananda. Then we gave each other massages and facials. It was a wonderful relaxing day!
Tuesday i procrastinated and did homework until 2 when we had soccer practice which was really intense.
Wednesday we had a 3 hour soccer practice and in exchange for working so hard one of our coaches, Guru Amrit S. treated us all to pizza! yay

i gtg to lunch...there is about 15 minutes left and I am starving!!!!
dam these flies! They are almost everywhere now!! AAAAAAAHHHH! I can get a little spastic at them somtimes.
