Greek Alphabet Song

This is not the song I learned, but I thought it was awesome, so I am posting it here.  If you listen to the whole thing it will get stuck in your head for days and you too will know the Greek alphabet!  Share my madness…

Week One Is History // A Master In The Making

Category : MDiv

The first week of school is under my belt and I have to say it made me feel like this:

Three papers, two discussion board conversations, and loads of reading had me running around like a crazy woman all week.  Learning the Greek alphabet, the history of the early church, and what is expected of a person who wishes to be a true disciple of Christ, and writing a paper about all three in one week was exhausting.

I am actually looking forward to my exam next week.  I have always been better at taking exams than writing papers.  So, next week will be one exam, one paper, and two discussion boards…I’ll let you know how it goes!  Let me how you like the posts on this topic.  I hope to post more detailed information about my classes as I work through them.  But for now, I’m too tired and am going to bed!  Fair Winds

Do I look any smarter?

In The Beginning

Category : MDiv

Today I received an email that stated

“There are only four graded assignments: a short essay due at the end of week 1, a 12-15 page research paper, a midterm exam, and a final exam.”

and another that read

“You are required to post an initial 250 word response (thoughtful, articulated, defensable) to the week’s question by midnight Wednesday. You must then make at least two followup post to one of your classmates’ posts by Sunday midnight. Please make all posts in the forum and do not attach files. A good initial post will earn you a 75-80%, two good follow-up posts can earn you up to 20% More. Initial posts of less than 250 words will be marked down, also posts such as “I agree,” “good point,” “amen brother” will not receive credit. ”

You should be selecting now your book for review (due week 6) and your research paper topic.

These statements came from professor emails in two of my three classes that I am starting in less than a week.  I haven’t heard from the third professor thus far, but the load from that class should be about the same as above.  Have I mentioned that this is an 8 week semester?  Classes start Monday, March 16th.    Whee…..
