I was sent a 'livejournal nudge' today so I thought I should really post. Life's been so hectic that I've hardly had time to think about it- The plan was to catch up at Christmas but then Christmas was even busier than the rest of the year!

If I'm going to be there for two weeks, I need to learn how to spell Covenant! Covenant/Covanent, who knows?! Ah well. Anyway, I'm there. It's a Bible College with several strands, but they have a number of core modules, that we are going to, and this next two weeks is the first one, on Christian foundations and the Kingdom of God. It's been ( Read more... )

The theory is that you walk 8 hours per day, and cover approximately 80km over the four days, although there's apparently no minimum distance now. But my team must have walked for a minumum of 10 hours every day, and covered at least 90km! Everything that could go ( Read more... )

How much can happen in two weeks? Feels like a lifetime and a half! This time two weeks ago I was in the foyer in my school, taking photos of everybody in their gorgeous ballgowns and smart tuxedos. Pictures will be posted just as soon as I can get hold of the school ones which are better quality, and work out how to upload them successfully, which ( Read more... )

FINISHED!!!6 long weeks of examinations are over. How happy am I?! Chemistry today again went okay- I mean, it was a chemistry exam so we expect it to be nearing impossible, but this was ok! Ironically, chemistry's the only sbject I have come out of every exam feeling reasonably positive about, and it was my most difficult subject. We'll just have ( Read more... )
