505 beginning cataloguing
Back to the grindstone. I guess a very technical part of the course. Do see it is being logical and for the most part, necessary. A good catalogue makes searching for information so much easier!! Stating the obvious perhaps but am teaching a generation that relies on google.

3rd July 2009 PASSED
Recieved assignment 2 today. Was stunned at the result - a Distinction. Was so concerned by the possibility of a failure. This means I have passed the whole subject. What a relief but more importantly, gives me confidence to continue.
Am reading amongst other books,
Fighting Talk - Graeme Donald - military origins of everyday words and phrases - really is interesting to find how many words or phrases have come into use through some connetion with military events or incidents.
Speaking our language - Bruce Moore - attached to ANU is the author and in the alumni mag he writes of words and their meanings in SAE. Very interesting as well - do enjoy reading about our language - it is afterall, a living tool.
End with a sigh of relief and might have a glass of the bubbles tonight.
