Confusion and Excitement

I am confused about how to make this blog stuff work and I'm excited because I posted my application to the RTC yesterday. (Please be patient while I tweak the page. Also, let me know if my Latin grammar is wrong and tell me what it should say.)

I sent it express so they should be in possession of it and processing it.

Now that the initial paperwork is complete I must patiently await approval/acceptance and the chance to choose my subjects.

The list should look something like this:

Then I'll have to decide which direction to take with the studies. I am definitely doing  Greek and Hebrew but as for the other subjects I'm not sure. I like Church History so I'll hopefully do both. I think I'd like History of Mission, Apologetics, OT, NT and Theology subjects. I'm undecided on Ethics and Contemporary Problems.

Thing is I'll only be doing the Diploma subjects for semester one...unless I fail miserably then I'll do the Diploma till the end of the year. After semester one I hope to be doing well enough to change to the Degree course.
