A part of the requirement at ABU is that I need to take 2 religious studies courses in order to get my BEd. I am taking Intro to Christian Thought this term and Themes of the Bible next term. I am already swamped with classwork from the Education program, but it is manageable and I really enjoy what I am doing. The only problem I am having is the religious studies class. It is taking me so damn long to get the assignments done!! I feel like I am taking something in another language. Obviously, you can tell that religion has not been a huge role in my life. I guess that is coming to bite me in the butt! The worse part about all of it is that it isn't like I can use any of this when teaching b/c religion is such a taboo topic in the schools!
