A new dawn

Col­lege starts today. Robyn and I decided to set a prece­dent and be on time. Early even. So we left home at 7am. I didn’t even know there was a 7am. Let alone a 6am.

Need­less to say we got to col­lege fairly early. Ear­lier than any­body else — staff included.

There are 84 stu­dents at QTC this year appar­ently — and more than half of those are first years. And we’re keener than all of them (judg­ing by arrival time alone).

Simone, in a lit­tle piece of offline wis­dom, told us that the first few days of col­lege are going to be all about estab­lish­ing a peck­ing order (at least in our minds). I think it’ll be a bit like first year uni except with­out the low cut cloth­ing and unre­al­is­tic expec­ta­tions of find­ing true love in the lec­ture theatre.

I think peck­ing order should be estab­lished chrono­log­i­cally. So we’re first.

  1. 1

    unre­al­is­tic expec­ta­tions of find­ing true love in the lec­ture theatre

    You obvi­ously didn’t study the right sub­ject at ‘reg­u­lar’ university!


  2. 2

    I sus­pect it comes down to who is acing the essays and exams, but punc­tu­al­ity is a good start! Enjoy.


  3. 3

    Ahh — but we don’t com­pete so nobody knows each other’s grades.


  4. 4

    :) lol Nathan doesn’t com­pete :D hehe­he­hhe­hehe
    what is your sched­ule look­ing like there

  5. 5

    Fan­tas­tic start. Now you need to spread it around that you arrive early so you and your hot wife can pray for every­one else at college.


  6. 6

    I would have thought bible col­lege stu­dents would be more likely to think they’d find ‘true love’ in the lec­ture the­atre as opposed to reg­u­lar uni­ver­sity stu­dents :P


  7. 7

    Can we have a photo of the first day of school outfits…you did take a photo right? or were you in too much of a hurry to be …cough…on time… :P

    Nathan we’d love a things I wish they’d told me before sign­ing up for 4 years post monthly. Also maybe a what I wish I had done before going to bible col­lege

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
