New Year, New deal.

Hello everyone, and Allah'u'Abha.

College resumed at 26th of December, 2007 and suffice to say nontheless, the first 2 weeks itself was more than hectic.

Today itself I will have to make sure that a certain lecturer has already received my assignment, or else I would lose 20% marks for one of my subjects which I took last year. Apparently, it seems that my plight has not been unnoticed by the higher echelons among the lecturers, but due to the policy of non intervention, Im not allowed to change tutors (since the said lecturer will still need to have students to supervise for the position paper as well as the research paper).

Well anyways, for January 2, there was a good question that popped up. To cut a long story short, we were introduced with a story how Plato defined a human as a creature with 2 legs with no furs and feet. And the next thing we all know, Plato's students came up with a featherless chicken and told him "this is your human".

Definition is important.

But then, it raises a very good question, what is a human, and what defines the human spirit? How do you define "human" and "human spirit"?
(Will post a follow up post on this)

On January 3, I was supposed to write something about Blogging as a Theraphy (especially for me), but again at least let me make a post stating it first, so it can act as a reminder. Better than nothing.


Today's January 4, and its 9.15a.m, and im now inside a class, task is to look at CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning). Its not entirely a new concept, and neither is it an old one either. Just that when you look at the development of technologies, there isn't much breakthrough in "trunk", but rather in "branches" of the tree in regards to CALL. Nevertheless, a development is still development, and in this case we're looking exactly at how technology enhances CALL.

But then, the key point's still there, that is technology is a tool for us to (ab)use to suit the neeeds and to benefit everyone.

But meh, time's running out soon, and again, a happy new year, look alive, stay sharp, its just business as usual. Keep your spirits up. Thank you, everyone.
