I have been home from the cruise for a while now (we disembarked the ship in Australia, which gave us a long journey home - way outside my comfort zone for flights). We are in lockdown like everybody else. Because of our ages, we are not shopping for ourselves and are reliant on scarce and unreliable delivery slots. This is very stressful for a control freak like me and my concentration is very short. Not an ideal way to study quantum mechanics and the theories of the universe.
Fortunately the exam is cancelled but we are to do it at home over a period of 24 hours. No exam conditions required, so I will have access to the course materials, which means that it is no longer a memory test. A huge relief!!
I am also helping in a very small way to educate a couple of locked down children (ages 4 and 6). So far we have looked at the Big Bang and the solar system. Not as nerve-racking as the exam but they still terrify me as an audience. Next week - space craft. About which I know absolutely nothing.
