baptist heritage
poor, poor doug--at this moment, he is taking the first part of his first baptist heritage exam. (today is day one; friday is day two.)
for those who may not know what this is like, imagine having to memorize 600 "facts" (facts being anything from a place to a date to a name...you get the picture) and then being tested on only 200 of those--a die is rolled at the beginning of class to determine which pre-known (essay) question the students will have to answer for that day. in other words, there are 6 exam questions you have to know upways, downways, sideways and l;ajdsfl;k...on day one, you answer one of them; day two, you answer another one.
sadly, i did not retain hardly any of the facts i memorized when i took bh so many years ago. after all, i really only shoved that info into my short-term memory, i suppose.
knowing, doug, he'll do great. he's wonderful with essays, and he's oh so smart. but i feel for him--so deeply--nonetheless.
thanks for thinking of him. send him a little note of encouragement, if you would like. :)

Does this have to do more with the history of the Baptist religion or facts from the Bible?
That is soooo stressful!
