IMT 2

Hi y'all!

So, here I am in Chemnitz, Germany again, doing a second year! I know some of you are asking yourselves how that has come to be, so let me explain!

I had studied German & French in Queens, though I had never really enjoyed. The people were all lovely, including the lecturers and all, I just didn't enjoy it a lot. Anyway, in 3rd year you have to do a year abroad, in one of those countries. I heard about IMT and wanted to do that, but there were problems with it and all, and what the plan ended up being was that I'd take a year out from Uni, do IMT, then do my Uni Year Abroad in France.

During my year in IMT though, I decided that I wanted to study Youth Work, and become a Youth Worker. So, I left Queens, and was hoping to apply for a Youth Work course in Jordanstown, but my application would have been too late, and they were already full. So, I can re-apply again for next year, and I'll be applying to Belfast Bible College too.

But that basically gave me another year with nothing to do. So, because we all on IMT last year agreed that the work here needed to be continued, and that the young people, who are amazing, still need someone to help them along in their faiths, I spoke to Barry and said I'd be up for doing another year, if they'd still have me! And luckily they would! Crazy Germans, huh?

So thats why I'm here again! We started on Wednesday with training things about how you do kids clubs and youth groups, and all that stuff, and child protection and all. I'm on team this year with a girl from Germany called Maria, and a girl from Hungary called Judit, who's coming tonight. We hope! See, she had said she'd be coming, then said she couldn't actually come, then said she could again, then said she'd be late, so we all are just like, "We'll believe she's here when we see her!" So, fingers crossed!

Anyhoo, it's been nice, strange that I'm here and Fiona isn't, mainly, but I get on fine with Maria, and hopefully will too with Judit, and it's nice to see everyone here again. I'm still knackered after the summer, but I'm sure I'll live. Lol! And I'm looking forward to getting stuck in to working once Judit gets here. Our first big task is translating a video about new forms of church! So, I'm gonna listen and translate, and then Maria is gonna correct any grammatical things, and then we're gonna dub over the video! So it should be good fun! I ain't ever done that before! I wonder will it lead to a career in dubbing work...probably not, I dunno if I'd have a nice voice for that...not like Morgan Freeman, he could do a commentary on paint drying and you'd be hanging on his every word!

Anyhoo, I miss ya, if you're not here, and I hope to see ya soon!

God bless y'all!

Love from your favourite Ginger!
