Class Decision to Make

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.

How to Read the Bible? Did you like it? I've been recommending it to people purely out of BrettlerLove, but if you actually liked it that would rock.

drop the class

As much fun as that class was last year, if you can get out of it. DO!!! Your sleep will appreciate it. (And you will have a few minutes to actually run errands during the day.)
