Class Rosters

I'm thankful that I'm only on the docket for two classes this first semester, even though this makes some of my faculty colleagues not like me. ;-) For I just got my class rosters today. There are 24 students in the Introduction to Old Testament class, and 20 students in the Pentateuch class. I'm not surprised at the large number in Intro, since it's required, but 20 students in an upper division bib lit course is amazing! We're probably going to have to change rooms, but we'll see...

I told the boss that I guess lots of people want to take my classes and get a slice of the new guy, to see what he's all about. He said, "Yeah, let's hope that next semester you don't have three students!" That was the perfect response! I'm still in stitches.

Now that I have the class rosters and the syllabi, I was tired this afternoon but I find myself energized. I might even be able to get some more work done this afternoon. I doubt it, but I can try...
