I finally wrote on Friday the first of my four exams, Geology mid-term. The exam went fine, I did finish all 10 essays but only 11 definitions.
What I meant about going wrong was, that when I talked last time to Louisiana, I mentioned-again-that I had paid express shipping for my exams. So I set up [...]

After I had submitted all my assignments I waited a few days and since I had still no news from LSU about my exams, I wrote to them inquiring what is going on. First I got a reply that I’m missing a ton of assignments, then suddenly my old English grades showed up mixed with [...]

I finally wrote my Algebra Exam last Thursday, now I have to wait some 2-4 weeks to get the result. I felt quite good, no too bad problems in the beginning. And even though there were a few interruptions, besides the general mess the ICDA knows to produce, I did get done with all questions [...]

Today I got a call from Mrs. Rodriguez from the ICDA, she had received my exams. She also told me that the fee for the ICDA per exam is USD 50 and that the DHL shipping of the finished exams will be 700 DOP.
I’ll get the money from the bank tomorrow, as I have to [...]
The last few weeks went by too fast as always. I have the feeling I am not getting done enough.
I finally managed to get the exams for Astro 205 and Ethics set up. I’ll write them at the Dominican-American Institute, Astronomy on 21 October and Ethics the following Tuesday, the 26.
It’s kind of weird, the [...]

Back after 1 month of vacations from the big city. The month in Sosua was o.k., I just didn’t get much work done of course. For one I had no real workspace, at Albert’s place I sat first on the floor with the computer on a chair and then I dug up a small table [...]
