Syllabus Shock
May 5, 2008 on 8:56 pm | In Joys and Concerns |Holy Doctor of Ministry, Batman!
I just got a gander of my May intensive course on congregational discernment (”Grounded in God”) and broke out in a cold sweat at the number of books and papers assigned, including one due THIS WEDNESDAY AT NOON. And here I was thinking I had all the time in the world to ease into class and to write the 20-page paper I have due for the class that is just finishing up tomorrow!!
Good thing we’re all stocked up in the pantry and I’m catching up on laundry and I hope I’ve prepared SweetieBang for ten days of me with my face stuck in a book or at the computer every waking hour, commencing May 7th. Holy cannoli. Wish me luck, everyone.
See you at the Festival of Homiletics, if not here beforehand.
Kiss of peace, PB

Yikes! Good luck with the coursework, PB, and make sure to take good care of yourself. It sounds like the divinity program has about the same respect for their students’ healthy living as the UNC school of public health. Walks and regular meals are a good thing.

Good luck!! I havent gone back to school for 11 years, so I know for me it would be hard to get back into the cycle of homework and studying again…
