So lots has happened. we've both been bombarded with high intensity ancient Greek for example. for the first three weeks, that was all we were studying! ugh! so it's been great that last week the whole range of other subjects started. Has added some much needed variety to the week!
Top lectures for me (so far) are New Testament, and Doctrine. In NT, we've started with Mark's gospel which we'll study for a third of the year I think. I read a book on Mark before coming to college written by the lecturer and loved it! (P. Bolt, "The Cross from a distance) So it will be great to learn more from him I reckon. The icing on the cake is he looks like Merv Hughes. see left...Doctrine has been brilliant. John Woodhouse, the principal is lecturing...we haven't covered too much material yet, but flicking ahead I think this is going to be the kind of subject to create stimulating discussion around the lunch table.
Not sure if I've mentioned already, but cooked lunch is provided by college every day! It's built in to the course fees and sometimes the food is deep fried, so I'm a very happy boy! That's generally been the last thing in the day so has been a good chance to sit around and chat about stuff with other people in the course. Sometimes it's just exhausting and I'd very much like to crawl up in a hole and have lunch (deep fried of course!)by myself.
To counteract the effects of a cooked lunch each day, we've been walking home each day - A tidy 30min walk down King Street and some backstreets to our humble abode. King Street is great. College is No1. King Street and we walk most of the way down past a huge number of Thai restaurants, cafes, bars it really is a cultural extravaganza and is always abuzz with activity!
ok. more posts to come soon.

About the lunches... Just feel I need to share... Last friday we had deep fried prawns for lunch, much to Reuben's delight. However, later that night I think he regretted eating about 20 of the little fellas! He was making some strange groaning noises which I assumed to be his gallbladder giving up the will to live!
