and they're off!

Third day of the third term, and I’m already trying not to feel overwhelmed by all that I’d like to do in the next ten weeks ! The essentials are four modules – Advanced Hebrew, Prophetic Literature, African Studies and a research paper. The research paper is on the translation of Hebrew idioms, and it’s been fascinating to read up about that. We also have our church placement, and I’ll be preaching there for the first time on Sunday, and once again during the term. I'll probably also have a couple of children's talks to give, and readings to do or prayers to lead in other services.

There is a practical course about Tropical Health and Hygiene running two afternoons this term which one of us will attend (maybe Simon?!), and during Specialist Study Week I’m going to go to a morning seminar about Spiritual Deliverance. On May 31st we’ll be taking part in the College Fun Run (though Simon and I will be walking it!).

And those are just the “official” things, there are also lots of interesting conversations to be enjoyed, walks to be gone on, hot chocolate to be slurped … all in all, it promises to be a full and exciting/exhausting term!

Is it a sponsored fun run?
