is to move every 12 months!
in other thoughts:
I have been thinking more about the project I would like to do next year. For the last 6 months or so, I was set on "towards an ethic of contentment with specific application to singleness". Or some other ethics based project.
But my New Testament Theology mark was quite good in my recent exams, which has been prompting a few other thoughts.
I have been throwing around the idea of looking at a Pauline theology of singleness or such.
Any suggestions out there as to what I could muse on?

transcripts and averages
Many of you will be aware that I have been placing just a little pressure on myself regarding my end of year results.
After discovering that I had passed all my subjects, my next all important question was "what is my average?"
Hence begins the story of 3 academic transcripts for 2006 and 3 different averages.
Academic Transcript 1 - my average was 0.07 lower than last year. Not particularly fab, but once I had gotten over the annoyance, I realised that I was not really in any worse a position than last year. And considering that I had picked up Hebrew 1A this year, I think that it was a pretty good effort.
Academic Transcript 2 - I got an email from the registrar to the effect that there had been some mix up with Hebrew 1A results and we would get a new transcript. This was not particularly a big deal for me as I haven't sat the Hebrew final exam yet (Jan 22nd). So I didn't think that it would affect my average. Especially as Hebrew was an extra from my 3rd year subjects. But I got the new transcript in my pigeon hole today which indicated that my average had dropped another 3 marks.
But that is ok. I kinda figured that as long as I got 75% or above for the final exam, then my average should jump 5 marks or so. (I just wonder if 75% is wishful thinking)
Academic Transcript 3 - Just a few short hours ago, I got another email from the registrar to the effect that there had been another error with the calculation of Hebrew 1A results and that the overall averages were lower than what they should have been. I await this new transcript, and wonder if it will affect my average at all seeing as my mark for Hebrew sits on around 26% until I do the 70% exam.
We shall wait and see.
In other news, the packing is going ok. I have been kept busy and wonder where time vanishes.

progress
I should also note that exam results came in while I was away on sail camp.
I passed everything.
I passed everything.
holidays, camps, and packing
I left for holidays. Heading north, I met up with some crew from college at Budgiewoi.
When that fun was over, I headed south for a family holiday with the Ould's and Tweety.
I stopped home for a night on my way back north for a week of sailing camp.
I'm back home now - for the moment. Mum is on her way over to help me start packing for the move.
So much mess. Where to start? And what shall I get Mum to do once she arrives?
Camp was fab. I got to see Max and his tractor again. He is an amazing man who is serving the Lord at the camp site. A huge encouragement to me during my time away.
I spent the week driving power boats and telling kids about the good news of Jesus. I was thankful that there were no major boating incidents, and for the opportunity to join in on discussion groups. It was a great reminder as to why I am at college, and the fact that I love hanging out with young people sharing the news of the gospel with them.
Mum's going to be here any moment.
My nomadic lifestyle continues on Tuesday.

a brief return
After a few short, but relaxing days on the central coast, I am back in Sydney for the day before I head away tomorrow morning.
Our days were filled with talking, laying on the beach, painting (I took my paints and canvases up), going for morning walks, shopping and just enjoying people's company.
Hopefully I'll get some pics from JT or Kel when they get around to doing all that needs to be done with digi camera etc.
