Mid February update

I really don't like seeing time fly that fast. Really...

Anyway, so far, what has been done:
  • We neutered our no-longer kitten Chouchou (see ambjp.blogspot.com for updates on the cats)
  • I finally received two more courses from Penn Foster -- two heavy 500-600-page books, one about Math and the other about Business (it is a business management AA program). I opened the guide books and tried to fill in the answers of the Math exams (two long exams for this course). About one third of the questions are pure math/algebra and, SURPRISE, I know how to answer them. It is true that I did follow, long time ago, a business school program during my apprenticeship
  • I opened my UoL study books and am trying to read the four novels required for the "Love and society in the modern French novel" exam. Had registered and paid for the exams end of January, of course. British Council fees are NOT cheap.
  • Purchased an iMac and did upload all the software and files from the AFWJ volunteer position that I will be handing over in April
  • Started working on the admission exam to the Certificat de Traduction

I have some deadlines coming up in the next couple of months:
  • March will be busy with my last AFWJ Journal
  • send my admission exam to Boniface by mid March or wait for the next deadline
  • once the pdf file of that AFWJ Journal is at the printer, I have to start working on the detailed job explanation for the next AFWJ Journal Editor, who will come to me mid April for tutorial/handing over
  • new AFWJ webmaster position starts end of March. Need to learn how the software works. Could use that software to finally update my freelance homepage (not in a hurry)
  • UoL exams in May
  • work as usual, of course.

busy busy ...
