Intension, my church based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter starts it’s first Alpha course on Monday evening.

For those of you who don’t know what Alpha is:

“Alpha is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening setting over ten thought-provoking weekly sessions, with a day or weekend away.” (uk.alpha.org)

The Intension alpha course will be at Sweet Mandarin in the Nothern Quarter staring at 7pm for food 7.30pm for the talks and group discussions. The food and the course are both free. If you want more info check out alpha.intension.org.uk

I have been back in good old Manchester for two weeks now and am settling in well to my new flat in Ancoats. I will take a picture and upload it at some point but I’m without the internet at the moment which is a bit of a pain.

BT are installing a line next Tuesday which is going to cost me £130 pounds for them to flick a switch! Maybe it to pay for the ‘switch flicking’ qualification they had to send their engineers on, but it still seems a little steep! I’d understand it if they had to drill a hole through the walls and physically put a line in, but no, that’s all done! Oh well!

I started back at Uni yesterday with my first lecture on Distributed Systems and the Internet. It seemed quite interesting! It is an optional module, but I think I’ll stick with it. I haven’t actually managed to select my optional modules yet, has anybody else found the new University of Manchester self registration and module selection a bit stupid? Duncan made a very valid point yesterday that the financial registration was extremely easy, wonder why!?
