The Most Interesting Boring Email Ever (or, I Passed the Qualifier!)
by Tom Shafer
I can’t think of a more boring and unenthusiastic way to convey a student’s success in continuing toward a Ph.D. and never having to go through that hell again.
Not that I’m complaining, mind you. That email, received while lounging in the green room at Port City Church last Sunday, means I instantly graduate from sorry first-year student to fatherly second-year student. Of course, such a transition is not without responsibilities such as updating the wonderful incoming student handbook.
