Only centuries that are divisible by 400 are leap years. 2000 was a leap year. 1800 and 1900 were not.

Leader: To persevere means to keep going even when life is hard. Has there ever been a time when you persevered?

GA 1: When my grandfather died.

GA 2: When my dog ate too many pistachio nuts and it made his back hurt.

interesting

I don't have a huge interest in politics. But judging from the "younger evangelical" events I've attended over the past few years, I really do think he's right on target.

When it gets really cold outside, my house has trouble staying warm.

It was freezing cold outside last night. This morning, I walked into the kitchen and saw a cup my friend gave me. This cup is clear, but turns blue when you pour a cold drink in it or put it in the refrigerator.

You guessed it. The cup was sitting on the kitchen counter, bright blue.

I can't wait till summer!

I came back.

Everyone always asks me about jet lag. I don't usually have much problem with this. Some tips:
  • Set your watch to your new time zone as soon as you get on the plane. When it's nighttime, rest. When it's daytime, stay up.
  • Don't drink caffeine.
  • Take vitamins or herbal supplements.
  • Sleep for a long time the first night you get home.
  • Get back into your regular schedule immediately.

So if you wanted to ask, now you don't have to: Yes, I am in the correct time zone now.

four things

Posted by mountainmelody On 2/02/2008 01:54:00 PM 2 comments
one sad thing: It hasn't been cold enough to snow while I've been here--very unusual.

one amusing thing: British people apparently call quotation marks "inverted commas."

one annoying thing: The walls of the room are so thin that I can not only hear the guy next door talking very loudly in Russian (?) on the phone each night--I can also (barely) hear his wife on the other end.

one weird thing: Surfing the internet from another country gives you strange ads--including ones about winning a green card. (Instant ticket to the USA!)
