First Week of Lectures

This week was our first week of lectures. The courses here and SMBC are divided into ACT subjects (which are quiet accidemic) and SMBC certificate subjects (which are quiet practical). I think having both of these type of subjects its what makes SMBC so great.
Some of my favourites so far have been Biblical Theology, Old Testimant, and Introduction to degree Theology.
I havn't studied for many years (since highschool) so my study habbits need some work but I'm starting to get into the swing of it. I find I'm writing heaps down in class. My plan is to then type these notes up the following day as a way of reinforcing what we learned.
I spent most of today walking with some friends (I forget the name of the walk but its in Budenia and is about 30Ks). It was great to get outside SMBC for a while, chat, and get some exersize. We where fortunate to not get rained on till the last 30 minutes of the walk.

Some praise points

• I'm basically all settled in now and in the flow of things. Horray.
• I'm thankful for the wonderful people here at SMBC, both lectures and students.
• For the wonderful accomidation here.
  

Some prayer points

• For good health (my throat is not feeling so good)
• For my AUStudy application to go through smoothly. (It seems this not not always/often the case)
• That in studying Gods word I would not loose sight of God himself (Sounds silly I know but its easy to do...)

Thanks helps for reading
