Another assignment done.

I set myself the goal of having an assigment finished before this weekend, and last night at twenty minutes to midnight I submitted my assignment on software project management. Wooohooo. I am making steady progress; but there is still the most difficult assignments to do. euuuuwch.

Its been raining the last few days, sometimes in downpours, which has made my drive to work and back a bit worrisome and difficult. Once or twice in the last few days its rained down so hard it has been difficult to see through the windscreen. This can be a problem when there are trucks and whatnots speeding at over 100km/h near you.

Last night I tried to help Sandra understand the different between distance, displacement, velocity and acceleration. She then had quite a simple graph of distance against time to analyse. If the physics does not get much more complicated than that, she should be O.K.

later...

.. It's in words that the magic is -- Abracadabra, Open Sesame, and the rest -- but the magic words in one story aren't magical in the next. The real magic is to understand which words work, and when, and for what; the trick is to learn the trick. ... And those words are made from the letters of our alphabet: a couple-dozen squiggles we can draw with the pen. This is the key! And the treasure, too, if we can only get our hands on it! It's as if - as if the key to the treasure is the treasure! ------- John Barth, Chimera
