TWU

I found a good school. Hooray. This is momentous, it is a school that I actually really want to go to. And I really really want to go also. It's kind of odd I think, like I've never even gone to the school, but I know that I want to go. They offer an MA in Biblical Studies that is basically the best sort of degree a Christian could want. It is very reputable and could lead into other University doctorate programs which are much more secular, which I think would be good. TWU is really my 'gateway' school that will allow me to enter the secular scholarly level as well as maintain a good Christian foundation in my studies. Their Dead Sea Scrolls program is what first attracted me, and the guy who runs the DSS stuff would be the program advisor for my degree... or the degree that I'm looking for, which is an MA in Biblical Studies. This school would also allow me to get government scholarships in the humanities, which of course, is always cool. As well, people in the MA program get oppertunities to publish their work with their professors. Not only do they work for them, but they work with them too, which is very cool.
Well, I hope one day we can afford to go. If not, we could to Kansas City the first year, then TWU in Langley the second year.
