what a grey/beautiful day

here i am at the Glow Lounge on a cold, grey London afternoon and its simply beautiful. they have free WiFi here, so i've been here for the past 4 hours checking e-mail and working on a video for one of the prayer stations i am putting together for tomorrow night. i suppose the workers here are quite sick of seeing me, wondering why the heck i've been here for 4 hours on a saturday afternoon. anyway, things are going well, they had fireworks all over the city last night (as well as last saturday) for a British tradition/holiday called Guy Forks (i'm sure thats not how you spell his last name, oh well) in which all the local communities have bonfire/fireworks nights; very much like the 4th of July, except in this case they are commemorating the attempted burning/blowing up of the house of Commons. yes, this is quite a strange reason to "celebrate", but its quite fun none the less.

last wednesday, i went to a huge London-area College fair for Communication Design/Arts with Sam Jones. holy crap.....it was awesome. Sam had e-mailed a guy ahead of time from the Chelsea College of Art and Design (actually the head of the Design Communication course of study) and he wrote and said to come to the fair and talk to him in person (Sam was nice enough to tell them i would be coming along as well). his name is Geoffrey Thomas-Shaw and he was really cool to talk to. he took time out to talk to the two of us specifically and answer any questions we had. let me just say, it was incredibly encouraging to talk to him. he said that nearly half of the students he accepts have no experience in design, don't even have a portfolio, but he likes to give them an equal chance because he feels that if he meets up and talks with someone, he can get a good idea of the person's passion/personality and will deside on that. anywya, it was totally psyched after we talked to him, he made me believe that i could really try at becoming a design student. so, if you guys could pray about that, to ask God to show me if he has that for my life......that would be so blankin' cool. i suppose anything is possible with God, i mean.....i am in London, after all.
