Well as you see, it's been awhile since I've updated my blog. Fall semester was from August 26 until December 13 and it was very interesting but also very stressful. Thankfully I had a very good first semester. I passed my one-credit ministry formation class. All I needed was a 60% to pass and I got a 95% in the class. Since it was only one credit, it was graded with either a pass or a fail. In my two-credit spiritual formation I got an A in the class (96%) and in my three-credit Old Testament Introduction 1 class I got a B+.
I am proud of myself and I am thankful to the Lord that I was able to stay healthy during the process. However, as I mentioned earlier, it was one of the most challenging moments of my life. Here's the workload that I had in a nutshell:
- In my Old Testament class, I had two short papers and a timeline assignment, three to five lectures to listen to every week, a quiz every week, reading, and a final exam.
- In my spiritual formation, I had reading, had to submit two daily journal assignments, take a quiz, had one lecture to listen to, and one writing assignment each week.
- In my ministry formation, I had reading, a lecture to listen to, and multiple writing assignments.
I did all of this while working split shift at work. My wife can tell you how stressed out I was. On the other hand, it was nice to be busy, I learned a lot, and it was very fulfilling. Yet, I realized that I just can't take three classes while working full time. It's just way too much. And I have no idea how people that are married with kids do it. It would be mind boggling to see how they juggle all of these tasks. By the grace of God, I was able to finish strong and my hope is that I can catch up on some reading, hang out with some friends, and rest until spring semester starts in February!
