Reading and research week

This is reading and research week at Asia-Pacific Nazarene Theological Seminary. It is designed to give students time to work on semester projects without having to attend class in the meantime. When I was a student at Nazarene Theological Seminary in Kansas City, I never used the similar week for reading and research, but always for another "R & R." I suspect many of the students here are doing the same, which is fine. It's good to have a break sometimes, but now as a professor R & R week will actually be spent doing reading and research--preparing the last few lectures for this semester, getting started on next, and working on various writing projects. I have much to do, and none of it includes making posts to a blog. :-)
