Lesson Learned, Part 1
Sunday, January 14, 2007
I am a recent proud graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary, as I have stated here before. Here is a short list of random things I learned throughout my time in grad school:
- When preparing for an exam or writing a term paper on the Exodus motif in Isaiah, two pots of coffee is not a good substitute for sleep.
- If the school cafeteria runs out of Lucky Charms, it is best not to look for more in the back rooms of the kitchen without permission.
- If you happen to lose even so much as a rubber band while on school premises, no need to worry, it will be in the DTS lost & found (those seminary students are so honest).
- The only thing less important than the student government at the University of Texas is the student government at DTS.
- Make sure you are on campus during lunch on Tuesdays because that is when they set out the free loaves of bread.
- You can never have too many loaves of bread.
- There’s an inverse ratio between the size of the college you attend and the odds that, in the afternoon, you will run into the professor whose class you skipped that morning.
- Despite what my professors say, Google is still a more effective search strategy than anything else in lots of cases.
- Satan is present on a seminary campus, and he usually hangs out by the library's microfilm readers…who invented those things anyways?
- The dress code applies at all times when you are on campus, even if it's a Saturday and you just run up there to drop off an assignment and are only there for 2 mins.
- You can wear the same dress slacks for two weeks as long as you change up the shirt.
- The only thing funnier than Dr. Hannah himself, is Dr. Hannah leading the class in a chorus of How Great the Father's Love. He is also the wisest man I have ever known.
There are more to come…
