They aren't kidding when they say this school is intense. The difficulty of the assignments is moderate, but the quantity is insane. Every week we read an entire book, write a paper, have a test, and do articles (which ends up being about 20 pages typed per week). It might be doable if we weren't booked with lecture and work duties from 8am-4pm each day.
Perhaps this explains the lack or recent blog entries?
Personally I'm doing well. Even in the midst of the intensity and being spread all over, it's been good to have a rhythm and I've been able to decompress from city life in Seattle a bit. Burtigny isn't exactly the most happening place, but that turns out to be a blessing for me. In the next couple posts I'll try to break down the nutshell version of a some of my life over the past few weeks
Here are some pictures of Burtigny, the base, and the surrounding country:

This is the YWAM base. It used to be an orphanage.
My room (it's even smaller than it looks).
Meet Øyvind from Norway (left) and my room mate Gabriel from Nigeria (right).Øyvind is a journalist and Gabriel does a bit of everything.
This is where I go for walks. Thank my 200mm zoom for making the mountains huge. They're really pretty far away :o).
At night it's incredible to look down at the lights of Nyon and Geneva.
The lake is called Lac Leman and the mountains in the distance are the French alps.
I like to watch the trains run by parallel to the freeway right as twilight turns to night.
