All is well
Some computer and personal news...
A quick computer note before getting to some family
news. I finally managed to get iBlog working on my iBook!!! Wow, what a
relief, for a while there I thought that I may actually have to do something on
a Windows PC! Close call!!
As for the
family. Megie starts lecturing at Tshwane University of Technology next month.
She is very excited about that. In the meantime she is working for the
Institute for Public Finance, and is enjoying that as well. I am so pleased
that her work with the H2R consultancy has worked out so well. I know that she
is very gifted and can do a great many things, but it is always fantastic when
others recognize those same traits in
her!
We will get Courtney's first term
school report from her school today. She has settled in very well at her new
school. She was so proud of the fact that she managed to swim without anybody
holding her at her last swimming lesson (she still uses a floating device, but
at least she is growing in
confidence).
As for me, things are
going along steadily. Tomorrow is the John Wesley College Graduation ceremony.
I have put quite a bit of work into making sure that it goes off smoothly. I
trust that it will. It is going to be a real celebration and thanksgiving for
all the students who get their diplomas, degrees and awards. I am so grateful
to my own students for the tremendously hard work they have put into making the
event a success!
Other than that, my
doctorate is still moving along at a steady pace. I have been doing some
reading and quite a bit of thinking about the exact direction that the
Dissertation should take. Since moving away from Teilhard I have had to do
quite a bit of work to figure out just where I will position the research in
order to have a manageable area of study and have something significant to
contribute towards the field.
As soon
as I have something worthwhile I will post it here for comment. I have also
been feeling a strong desire to start writing again. I have a few ideas for
articles, and maybe even a book. Who knows, I may just try to get something out
before the end of the year!
