Pecan Day/Independence Day (Greece)

Have decided to finish the AP107 essay today because I want to have peace of mind. I'm at 1149 words and counting! I'm quite sure I can finish, even if this is probably the worst of my eight essays for this course. I just tried to login to DBS iBanking, but either my memory's really bad and I'm totally keying in the wrong user ID each time, or the system is screwed up. Whichever the case, I'm now locked out because I exceeded the maximum number of login attempts. I hope that resets, otherwise I'll have to go through the hassle of calling the customer service hotline, which I will have to do in any case, if I'm getting them to issue me a new user ID and PIN. Sigh. Finished reading M. John Harrison's Light and started on the sequel, Nova Swing. Basically, they're the kind of stuff that polarises readers' opinions. You either love it or hate it. I lean towards the former, although I agree that the books' science could do with a bit more fleshing out. After reading Light, I still have no idea what the heck are Tate-Kearney transformations, other than that they somehow allow interstellar flight. Put it this way: if the science is integral to the plot of the story, the author had better figure out at least the rudimentary mechanics of it, whether it be purely imaginary or grounded tenuously in fact. Okay, enough digressing. It's back to the essay for me...
