Online Courses/Online NAMB App

September 04 2005
As the wise man, Matthew Harding, would say..."WHAT THE PHAT!!!" So, online courses...great idea, but seriously, do you actually learn from them. Currently, I am taking two online courses; Principles of Management and Consulting/Auditing. The latter of the two...is probably going to be the most ridiculous class, by ridiculous, I mean hard. Its a senior level class...and am I a senior??? Holy heck no! Just a wee lil ole junior. Anyway...the only reason why I am complaining is probably b/c I know that I do not have the time management for such a responsibility as to having to actually sit down and accomplish something...I mean really. These two online courses aren't the only pseudo-productive thing I've began...I have also started up the ever so lovely North American Missions Board (NAMB) Application for my summer in NY. I guess somewhere in the back of my mind I was preparing myself for a pretty extensive application...but was not prepared for this. The amazing thing about it...is that it definitely makes you think and pray about your purpose and the true reasons for pursuing this specifc mission. During any other moment of my life, I would have chosen to go to NYC for selfish reasons...just to be there and see the city in all its splendor. Which is why I have never gone w/ AO. But, after this summer of just visiting...my heart is geniune about pursuing that mission field. So...I mean...I suppose...I can handle filling out 7 essays and all of the other random questions NAMB decides to ask.
