Dear readers, (especially those who have had their tonsils removed last week)
As so many of you have pointed out, I've broken my promise regarding the two-weeks time limit.
I therefore say to all of you: Time is but a relative factor. As my friend Albert Einstein has stated:
"Despite our common perception that a second is always a second everywhere in the universe, the rate at which time flows depends upon where you are and how fast you are traveling"
Thanks to Albert I can now explain myself. I've been traveling very fast the past few weeks. Therefore my perception of time has been different than yours. For me it has been less than two weeks since my latest post. In fact: it has only been three days. So what has made me travel so fast? Surely, it has not been the NS (dutch railway association). It must have been my busy schedule. The past few days (or weeks, as you've probably perceived them) I've been working my way through a vast number of assignments, exams and presentations. The problem is that the busier you get, the faster time seems to flow, the less time you have to complete your work. I therefore suggest that in University programs, Einstein's relativity theory should be taken into account when making schedules. That means that the time-table should be less rigid. It is my strong belief that if a student could work his way through the educational system at his own pace (and perception of time) this would greatly benefit the efficacy of education.
