Week three

This is the start of our third week back, and I'm pretty sure we are all ready for another holiday already! The holidays were a great time off, but returning here to college for me really made it feel like home. Back to our own beds, showers, pre-readings, assignments and piles of washing. Sigh... this is the good life.

There is a nice little community atmosphere around college now (or should I say commune...). People are in and out of other people's houses and the kids have a fantasticly large play area/bike track around all our units. People keep an eye out for each other and are usually genuinely interested in the daily stuff that goes on. I know it all sounds peachy and PG13 but it is actually a really nice place to live and study. Just a shame about this weather today! Rain means winter is coming to an end right?!?

Classes are stepped up a little this semester, more is expected of us including preaching and leading in our Mission Placement Corps and soon another Mission Weekend around Upper Hutt somewhere. We also have a elective night class on a Wednesday which is open to the public - so all you who want to know what we do can sign up and join a class or three with us! Trust me, they aren't all deeply theological and high brow... today we talked about 'The Life of Brian' and yesterday we were learning story telling from Thomas the Thank Engine...
