Registered

Ronwen & I registered at UNISA today. Schlepped to Pretoria in the rain, with me bleary-eyed and sleep deprived. I got myself re-registered for the subjects I cancelled last year, and Ronwen got herself signed up for some archeology type courses.

Nothing new or surprising in my subjects given that these subjects are all Take 2. The majority are pretty much the same - same textbooks, same style tutorial letters, and probaby same assignment questions :-)

I'm pleased to see, though, that the Computer Graphics course has been revamped. Last year was the first time UNISA offered the course and it was a big fat mess. This time around the starting tutorial letter has a huge disclaimer, advising those who don't know their maths and C++ to gtfo now. Lessons hard learned from last year, I think. We also have a real textbook instead of the work-in-progress pdfs from last year, and a list of recommended reading on OpenGL, graphics theory and mathematics the length of my arm.

Time will tell, but I'm excited about the courses (again, Bob). Sustaining the motivation will be another thing, but lessee.

We stopped off at BJs Over The Highway on the way home for lunch, popped in to Armstrongs Books in Linden to get textbooks, and got ourselves home. It's still raining, which isn't conducive to work: all I want to do is curl up on the couch and sleep.
