Well, here I am, trying v hard to complete my Fellowship with grace and dignity. God gave me this amazing Fellowship and I want to make sure that I don't let Him down. At this point in time, I'm trying to write up my lesson plans for Electricity. Used to simply memorise rules and then solve the problems with the formulae. Alas, there has been a shift in paradigm to deepen my understanding of coulombs, charges, currents, voltages, voltmeters, ammeters, resistance, Kirchoff's Laws etc etc etc.

John Hanna introduced me to a wonderful book by Eric Rodgers (no longer in this world) written in the 1960s. Eric makes Physics come alive and I would love to get my hands on a copy of the book, "Physics for the Inquiring Mind." I now see Coulombs skipping along, tripping over difficult terrain and bandits behind bushes pouncing on the coulombs demanding that they shell out their money. Yup, I'm crazy but absolutely in love with this new way of learning. Old way but new for me.

Well, I finish my Fellowship on the 15th of August and start back at school on the 18th of August. Whooppeee.......

Gotta go now and get some sleep before going into Victoria tomorrow. Take care and God bless.
