New Year

I've had a good few weeks resting up in Christchurch catching up with family and friends and sleeping way to much.
I have a few goals for Janaury mostly relating to preperation for SMBC in Feburary. I'll try to spend 4 hours a day studying (2 in the morning, 2 in the evening). Mostly reading about church history and making my way through the bible (I'm still on Ezekial but almost finished).
I'm thinking of writing a simple game in Flex (Flash) over Janaury aswell just for something different.
No new years goals this year (I've never been a fan) but I hope to establish some good study habits.

First Week Back in Christchurch

I thought I'd try getting into the habbit of blogging before study starts in Feburary (it will be a little crazy around then).
Its been a busy week so far in Christchurch catching up with family and friends. I'm looking foward to Christmas with the family. Last year I wasn't able to spend christmas with my family because I was over in Chine. Its strange to think that this time last year I was in 中国 teaching 英文. It doesn't seem like that long ago.
After leaving the coast in a hurry I've found I've left a few things behind (camera for one!) but nothing too important.
I'm looking foward to Janaury. It will be mostly a time to catch up on reading (bible and church history probably) and maybe memorise some scripture aswell (Book of James, and a few psalms - but I'll see how I go).
Later
-Matthew.

First Post

Starting next year I'll be studying an associate degree at SMBC in Sydney.
This will be the home of the blog I intend to keep while studying. All going well I'll be posting once a week.
