I'm going back to school.

After years of thinking about it, I have finally taken the plunge and will take one solitary class (Church History I) at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (SEBTS) this semester. And the beautiful part is I won't ever have to leave my lounge room because the class is online.

There will be three lectures each week (delivered via iTunes), six reading assignments throughout the semester, plus three online tests and one final exam.

If I survive the class and fare better as a student than I did at high school, then I hope to be able to keep at it and take 2-3 classes each semester for as long as it takes to (a) learn something useful and (b) finally get that piece of paper I never got round to in my 20s.

But for know, just making it through one semester will be an achievement in itself – as it's something I have not managed to do before.

And just to keep things interesting, I enrolled two weeks late so I now have just 48 hours to watch the first six lectures, read 60 pages and then hand in an assignment.

Wish me luck.
