What Exactly Is Cabin Fever?

That's the question for today? With the blizzard conditions we are now experiencing in the Washington, DC Metropolitan, Northern Virginia area, the term is being used on a regular basis. What exactly is cabin fever? We have received several emails from students, alumnus and faculty alike, saying they have "cabin fever." Even the weather and news casters on TV keep using the phrase. So what exactly is cabin fever.
Cabin fever is an "idiomatic term for a claustrophobic reaction that takes place when a person or group is isolated and/or shut in, in a small space, with nothing to do, for an extended period (as in a simple country vacation cottage during a long rain or snow). Symptoms include restlessness, irritability, forgetfulness, laughter, and excessive sleeping, distrust of anyone they are with, and an urge to go outside even in the (less miserable) rain, snow or dark." WOW!!! I guess we can say some of us have cabin fever.

Well, we don't want any of our students to suffer from cabin fever, spring fever or any other kind of fever, so watch your emails for some assignments for BA 102 - Old Testament History and BA 103 -Experiential Books.

No, no, you don't have to thank us. We know you are truly appreciative and we love you too.

Here's a sample of what you can be on the look out for: BA 103 - Experiential  Books Part I:

1. Explain the central issue of the book of Job.


2. There are two “basic approaches to explaining the central issue of Job” what are they?

3. What date was Job written?

4. What is the central message of Job?

5. Satan was called to present himself before God, why is this important?

6. How many cycles of discourse were there between Job and his friends?

7. How many times did each of his friends dialogue with Job?

8. What are the four areas that God challenges Job on? 

9. What bearing does God’s rebuke of Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar have on the inspiration of the Bible?

You can start on the above questions if you are enrolled in BA 103 - Experiential Books and check your email for your additional assignments.
