I registered for my Spring term classes today. I signed up for 10 units which is alot. I may end up dropping one of the classes before the term starts. We’ll have to see what the homework load is when the syllabi come out.
The classes are:
Interpreting the New Testament - Epistles (by the same cool prof that is doing my Gospels course)
Religions of the World
Pastoral Counseling
Theology II - Sotereology
The two classes in the middle are intensive elective courses that each meet on two different weekends, not every week. The first and fourth are classes w/regular meeting times and would be the meat of the term. These particular electives are only offered every 2-3 years so I want to take them if I can. We’ll see if I can handle all load though.
$3800 bucks for these 10 units though. Man, that’s a lot of money.
I’m debating whether I ought to take a logic and philosophy class this summer at the local junior college or if I ought to just read three or four books about them. It’s useful information when reading these theo books because they refer to various philosophies and rely on rules of logic rather heavily. I’ve had no formal training in either of these two subjects. I need to brush up on my English grammar skills too in order to help me handle Greek and Hebrew which I’ll be taking beginning next year. I’m worried about those classes. I’ve not ever had an aptitude for foreign languages. I’m skerred. 
I’m leaning toward reading a couple of books on philo and logic and then buying some sort of computer program tutoring thing to brush up on the grammar stuff. Then I can take a class or two from seminary in the summer to make up for this term where I only took 6 units. If I take four units in the summer then when next Fall term begins I’ll be right on track to graduate in three years total as I will have exactly 1/3 of my units required to graduate.
Oh yeah, we have a baby due in April. I almost forgot about that minor detail.
