Here’s one for next year’s Thanksgiving Tree.
| December 10th, 2007Every once and a while I’ll have a really stressful dream. It usually is somewhere along the lines of me being in college, the semester is almost over and I realize that I have forgotten to attend a class the whole semester and now I desperately scramble to try to make up work and get ready for the final. Or, I will have forgotten about some important work that I can’t pass without and I’ve only a few days to get it in.
That dream came true. I’m in an online class at The Southern Baptist Seminary out of Louisville, KY. It’s a class on the New Testament. The thing is, this class is in Spanish. That’s my excuse for what happened. I got the syllabus at the beginning of the semester and I read it, but not very well. I just skimmed it and focussed on what books I needed and the work that was due the soonest. Unfortunately, I never really went back and read it over really well. I had a paper due October 1st and November 15th and I didn’t realize it until last week. Talk about almost losing my lunch. It was that old bad dream feeling . . . except it was for real!
Anyway, I emailed the professor and he was very graceful and said I could turn them in still. Thank you Dr. Hatfield!
Hitting the Books
Oh, my gosh. I have that SAME dream. It’s always a Tuesday/Thursday class at around 10:00 or so and I have a class before it but I somehow neglect to go to the next one. I hope my dream never comes true! So glad your prof let you off the hook.
