Course Selection Day!

I already mentioned how much I had been waiting to receive that phone call from Southern to see whether Courtney and I were going to be accepted as students for the Fall semester (yes, part of me always thought that there were many, many reasons why they would not accept us...). Since that call, the next day that I have been looking forward to in this seminary journey - that is today, Course Selection Day!

Nothing special about today, really. After all, I had already spent hours looking into the course requirements for my degree and already had my entire degree planned out. I already knew which cores and which professors I wanted to pick and the order in which I wanted to take my courses. After I was finished with mine, since there were still a few days until course selection day, I decided to do the same thing for Courtney's program and try to help her out with her courses. (How kind of me!) Once I was done that, I decided to do that for one of the programs that Courtney is still considering (not very strongly... but still a possibility) as well.

Then finally today came, and I got to log in and spend all of 60 seconds clicking and dragging the courses I wanted to take for the fall semester. Now I'm all registered! (it was a little anticlimactic really...). Again, it reminded me very much of my course selection for my undergrad, except a lot less stressful, and there was no need to click "sign in" right at 12:00AM to try to reduce the chances that you were going to be locked out of the system for 20 minutes until someone else logged out. So here is the product of the 60 seconds of excitement right after breakfast this morning:

MDiv. (Biblical and Theological Studies)

(Fall 2013)

• Elementary Greek (Dr. Plummer) --> (yes I'll do some Greek again...)
• Leadership and Family Ministry (Dr. Stinson)
• Introduction to Church History I (Dr. Haykin)
• Theology of the New Testament (Dr. Schreiner)
• Introduction to Missiology (Rev. Pratt)

I get to take Leadership and Family Ministry as well as Introduction to Missiology with Courtney, so I am really looking forward to that! Doing school together sure will be interesting, and very different from what we're used to now!
