Class Decision to Make

[debka_notion]

Yesterday my two-hours-a-week Bible class teacher came over to me during our mid-class break and asked if I really belonged in the class, and that I should talk to my dean about dropping the class if I felt like I wasn't learnign much from the class- and well, so far the vast majority of the material has been stuff that I've learned before in one setting or another. It's kind of fun, but it's also not a lot of new stuff. My dean found me after minyan this morning and said that I should let him know if I decide to drop the class- and that I should really drop it if I'm not learning much in there, because the schedule is crazy and why should I spend time in class and doing homework and whatnot if I already know most of the stuff. So- I'm thinking Really strongly of following both of their advice and dropping it. There will be a different class in that time slot next semester, and maybe I'll want to pick it up there. My only hesitation is that I've never taken a survey class- but I've read what's supposed to be the one-book equivalent (Professor Brettler's newest, as far as I know, book), so maybe that should be worth something to myself... It feels good, but a little guilty, and I don't know why that would be, but there it is.

I read it- I liked it, it was a good basic introduction to the Bible as a whole. It wasn't my very favorite book ever, but it was a good read and it did what it meants to do very well.
