Finito

Finally.

i finished the last of my third-year psychology and linguistics exams two weeks ago, and have been messing around with admin and work and reading since. It will still be some time before Unisa publish the results, and there were a few exams about which i was not supremely confident, so i’m not going to talk just yet about where on the wall to hang my BA.  i really struggled to focus this time around.  This year’s studies have felt a bit more of an ordeal than the past few years’.  i guess part of the reason has been the feeling that several years’ studying were about to come to an end and that end couldn’t come soon enough.  It’s been quite an anticlimax. But now i’m glad it’s over :)

Studies 2009

i received most of my study material two weeks ago, but i’ve been somewhat slack in getting underway with it, largely owing to busyness with work (and work-avoidance behaviour such as that in which i’m presently engaging…)

Chronicle Number Next 2007/8

Welcome to the latest instalment of the chronically late Chronicle: a year or two in review. Lately it’s increasingly weighed on me that two years have already passed since the previous Chronicle. So much has happened in this time, but here’s the highlights package.

Behind door #2007

Happy birthday to Janus, and i hope that he opens some exciting doors in 2007… But thanks to our God, for His mercies are new every morning, and His great faithfulness is unchanging.

Chronicle Number Next 2006

Welcome to the chronically late Chronicle…

Each year i try to collect some reflections on the year gone “bye” to share with friends near and far, those i’ve long-last seen, those who’re here on the scene, and all who’ve helped make these memories. 

Chronicle Number Next 2005

Hey there

It’s been a looong time since the last Chronicle Number Next broadcast (see http://marcuscollins.wordpress.com/category/chronicles/) — every year i try to recollect what’s been happening in an email to friends near and far, those i’ve long last seen, and those who’ve helped make these memories… 

Chronicle Number Next 2004

Hey guys

Well, Easter is behind us, and the elections past. The once-more lit-up cross up at the top of the Papegaaiberg mountain just north-west of my flat and good music provide some inspiration for catching up with y’all again…

So much has happened this past year that it makes me dizzy to contemplate writing at length, so here are some of the headlines and highlights since Easter last year (full news bulletin at eight…) 

Chronicle Number Next 2003

Well, Easter is with us: the time for remembering God’s grace, love, and purpose for us

Today is also special to me because it was one year ago that I moved to Stellenbosch. The past year has been one one of major challenges, questions and choices; but also one of the greatest excitement, discovery, growth, joy and purpose. Let me remember with you some of the highlights of this past year. For those of you whom I’ve been fortunate to see recently, I hope you’ll pardon the remiss repetition; for those further afield, I do miss you and you are always in mind!
