What does PHD stand for anyways? I think that it is something like Positively Hardest Degree.Josh started in Seminar week going strong from 7:30am -9:30pm and that is just the lecture part of it. The rest of the time he will be on his own directed studies to meet deadlines for the next seminar, which take place once a month. He will be learning German right away as he must read books in German for his research.
He has one class that requires 14 books and responses and of course many other readings and assignments. He will need to narrow his topic for his Dissertation and start writing his papers towards that end. Needless to say this is much more than a full-time job!
It is so fun to see Josh get excited about these studies in the Word of God! He understands the challenge and is diving in with no reservation (good movie by the way).
He is also able to help one of the profs teach a few of his beginning Greek courses, this is fun for him to remember the good ole days at Multnomah.
Thank you for praying for this insurmountable task that will be chipped away at one hour at a time!
found you guys! I'll try to figure out how to e-mail! looks like things are going well! miss you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping this fresh, Stacy...and for the pic of Josh! We are praying for you both.

Phd is the sound that a PhD student makes when he is finally done studying at the end of the day and falls with a pronounced PH(U)D onto the floor in a heap! :^D
