Wow\u2026. seeing as the title of my last post<\/a> was \u201clife as a GA\u201d i think that the gap between that and this post (almost 9 mo) tells you more about GA life than the post.\u00a0 But now that classes are over and exams are finished I\u2019ve managed to find a space of time to update you (all 5 or 6 you that read this) on what\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

As i said, exams are done, and it appears I\u2019ve managed to keep my 4.0 this semester, thanks to Dr. Bell\u2019s crazy \u201cBell Curve\u201d as we refer to it (cutoff for an A is 84, for a B, 72?, etc.)\u00a0 I\u2019m told a non-ten-point grading scale is common in grad school, but i\u2019m still not used to it.\u00a0 Oh yeah, since i didn\u2019t post my customary \u201chere\u2019s what I\u2019m taking this semester\u201d post at the beginning of last semester my classes were Preacher Boys – History and Philosophy of Preaching with Dr. Minnick, Systematic Theology II with Dr. Olinger, and Old Testament Introduction with Dr. Bell (and no, Introduction does not indicate that it is an introductory level course.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually a technical term that refers to the background and history of the Old Testament, rather than its content. Themes, dates, critical views, authorship, integrity, that sort of thing.)\u00a0 And as i said, God enabled me to get an A in all of them. Yay!<\/p>\n

Work has been busy too.\u00a0 Although i enjoy my job at the Media Center, at times it does get a bit hectic.\u00a0 Yesterday, for example, I checked out equipment for faculty and students, did some web design, burned several CD\u2019s, tunneled through a pile of email, answered various questions from faculty and students, continued development work on a new checkout system for materials, and tidied up some in preparation for the end of the semester.\u00a0 I\u2019m looking forward to the break this summer. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Speaking of this summer, I will again be counseling at the WILDS<\/a> (i really don\u2019t know we always capitalize it, it\u2019s not an acronym, i guess we\u2019re always excited and shout it) for my third summer.\u00a0 This year as the camp has a patriotic theme, I will be on the Bull Moose party (white) as the head of the Varmint cabin. All the cabin names are take-offs of states (e.g. Steakus, Nascar-olina, Monsoona, Misery, etc.).\u00a0 That begins with staff training week at the beginning of June.\u00a0 Prior to that I will be working for Shank Door<\/a> \/ Doors Express<\/a> for three weeks, after visiting my girlfriend and her family in Canada after commencement.\u00a0 Got all that? Commencement is Saturday (May 3), then Canada for a week, home in PA<\/a> for 3 weeks, then the WILDS<\/a> for 11 weeks, and then back here in BJ<\/a>–land<\/a> in the middle of August.\u00a0 Hopefully I\u2019ll post some more in there between now and then.<\/p>\n

Well, this post is more than long enough now, so I\u2019ll put anything else i wanted to say in another post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
