My great college experiment has been put on hold.
In it’s place, for at least the next semester, is Porterbrook, a theological training program that I am both participating in and coordinating as part of my work with Plant NC.
My goal of getting a Bachelor of Something or Other some time before 2050 still remains but it is starting to look like I will need to find somewhere new to do my studies.
You see, having taken one class last semester at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary I was not allowed to continue without properly enrolling. The problem? In order to enroll I needed to provide two things I was not able to provide very easily: official transcripts and proof of immunization (I assume to make sure I didn’t infect anybody in my lounge room).
Apparently immunizations are required by North Carolina law, and transcripts are required to meet accreditation standards. And that all just seemed like too much of a bother for me at this point – especially seeing as I had waited two weeks to get any response from the college, by which time semester had already started.
Instead, I may well move my studies back home where I don’t have to get five needles just for the privilege of taking a class in the confines of my own home.
In other news, I got a B– for Church History I. The only problem is they locked me out of the system before they posted my final exam score so I never got it, thus missing out on one final comment from the world’s most unhelpful grader.
I’m just going to go ahead and assume he critiqued my choice of font.
