Well, it\u2019s that time of year again. Classes officially started today. Of course, I\u2019ve already been down here at BJU<\/a> since Aug 11, since work started the 13th. This semester brings a new perspective\/challenge, as I\u2019m now a part time student, and a part time faculty member. Basically as some of my friends and I have boiled it down\u2026 when it\u2019s advantageous for the University for you to be a student, you\u2019re a student; and when it\u2019s advantageous for the University for you to be faculty, you\u2019re faculty. I\u2019m enjoying it so far, and I look forward to what God will teach me through it.<\/p>\n

My \u201cfaculty\u201d position is a bit unique. Although I\u2019m classified as a \u201cteaching graduate assistant (ga),\u201d I don\u2019t teach any classes. However I do work for the school of education in the Media Center. The Media Center is a multimedia and resource lab on the second floor of the Alumni building. The MC is also in charge of distributing the multimedia equipment (laptops, projectors, monitors, etc) that the teachers use in the classroom. So my job is some kind of a cross between an IT technician, computer lab assistant, and tutor. The way I like to refer to it is \u201cI get to help students and work with computers!\u201d both of which i love.<\/p>\n

Anyway, without further ado, here are this semester\u2019s classes.<\/p>\n
