Have recently finished my second essay of the year...hurrah, or indeed Huzzah which as Kirsty informed me today was some Medieval expression of joy..or something...shame I was talking about Uzzah in 2 Samuel at the time. Although perhaps I was mentioning the seminar we did where the name Uzzah was mentioned and I felt the need to shout (in whispered tones) Huzzah - perhaps not one of my more concentrating moments, that seems to ring a bell.

So anyway, other than a final read through the essay is ready to hand in. It has been both the most difficult and easiest essay so far. Most difficult in that the title was just "An exegetical study of Judges 6" and thus gave very little initial structure. However it was also rather easy to write I tried a new approach, that of doing losts of research and note taking before attempting any writing rather than doing it as i typed in the hope of some scholar agreeing with me. It was really intersting and gave me lots to grapple with and got some theology in, rather than just historio-criticism, which was cool, and is what I was really interested in.

Also had nine20 tonight which was amazingly encouraging. The application section and prayer time at the end were so encouraging and also chatting to the group about various evangelism/apologetics issues was good fun, and really encouraging that it seems they are engaging in conversations with their peers. Also we're doing Jonah and combining that with my Old Testament module, and the teaching at Equip and houseparty (Daniel and Jacob in Genesis) at the moment it's really helping me understand more and more of the Old Testament and also to see its application a lot more. Good times.

Speakign of houseparty, it was good fun, met lots of new people, including lots of enthusiastic freshers which is great, and some amazing teaching, worship and fellowship. Also a rather exciting wide game.

Right me thinks it's sleepy time, although it's really cold in my room...hmm might re-investigate the central heating...or at least get whoever set it last time to redo it. Also have to read 'Jane Eyre' for religion and lit, so that's become bedtime reading...soooo good, quite romantic, although at the moment stress....what's going to happen? Let's find out Zzzzzz
