It's over ...
Exams are finally over, have been over,m in fact, for a week. It's been a good week.
I've embarked on a sort of self education program, with no limiting factors or guidelines. I'm learning a bit about music (sheet music) and I found a website that has some basic Icelandic on in from which I'll learn all I can before buying a book. Needless to say trying to find an Icelandic language school here in Australia is like trying to find water on Mercury.
I've been playing computer games a little bit, but not much actually. Been keeping busy with other stuff. I'm entering all the tunes from our Psalm book into Noteworthy Composer so I can learn them and hear what the parts sound like etc.
Another thing I've been busy with is my university course structure. It's apparently going to be quite a big problem for me to have done an MTE unit instead of MSC, even though it's the same thing. I still don't know what the ultimate outcome will be but one possible future includes me having to do five subjects next semester, and that does nothing for my motivation to go back to uni.
A book I've recently read was on the biography of Richard Feynman. It was a superb read (Genius, by James Gleick), and had a few genuinely clever momnents of humour. So much so I feel like reading it again and writing them down. This is the book that's reinspired me to take education seriously. At the moment I'm reading Chaos, by the same author, which is a history on the origin of Chaos Theory. After/during that I'm also reading "The Biblical Basis for Modern Science" which is probably less dull than it sounds and has extreme relevance to me, even if its stance on creation is flawed.
