The End of College

Well College is over for this man as of yesterday. It hasn't hit yet as I am still a bit wasted from exam preparation...maybe it will seep through over the next week or so. College was an intense experience. Some spontaneous thoughts as of tonight at least...more will come upon more reflection:
Best Subject (Nominations from Each Year):
2003 - Biblical Theology/Old Testament
2004 - Church History (Reformation)
2005 - Doctrine (in particular, Union with Christ and Church and Sacraments)
2006 - Modern Trinitarian Thought
And The Winner is...
Modern Trinitarian Thought
Highly Recommended
Old Testament in any year - an excellent OT department covered basically all the parts of the OT in a brilliant way over the three years - well done all!
Studying Romans in Year 1 (thanks PWB)
Galatians in Year 3 (PHK)
Extra-Curricular Activities
'Split chapel' (ie splitting when chapel was on to go to Campos/Cafe Connection/Green Iguana - I mean, Kikis - I mean, Phuzes - I mean, what next?). Our group experienced much growth over the period!
Study group for theology (years 2-3) - I didn't understand half of what they said but hey! Got through!
Cricket - without playing at lunchtime my brain would have fried
A couple of amazing friends from college who I played golf with, prayed with, opened up to, gave support to, and loved. Thank you fellas. It meant a lot and still does.
If you went to college, what were your nominations for the above?

Hey thanks Byron!

You cheeky man, putting Pastoral Counselling in there!

BUT from my memory, First year can be pretty frustrating...
