Camel Redistribution Theory

So as documented previously, Caroline has gone back to university. Overall, despite the additional stress, I think that she’s enjoying it. There was one assignment so far that I personally am well over.

It’s all about a camel. It could have been about any business, but for some reason, the lecturer decided to make it about a camel. The assignment caused great consternation as Caroline puzzled her way through it. It was made worse by the fact that in discussions with class mates, they thought that she wasn’t doing it right and she thought that they were doing it wrong.

The lecturer was also not very helpful according to the reports that I received. What it meant was that I heard an awful lot about the bloody camel.

The assignment was completed, handed in and results received. They weren’t what Caroline was expecting, so she quizzed the lecturer about the assignment and the process used as she worked out that she hadn’t actually got it all wrong, though she’d made a silly mistake early in the process. She got a re-mark and it improved significantly and also proved that the lecturer wasn’t possibly quite on the ball.

The long and challenging process meant that for several weeks, I heard more about the camel than I thought was reasonable.

So when we were at Floss’ the other night and the camel story started, I suggested that the best approach to the whole business would have been to shoot the camel at the outset to avoid all the complications that came later. Floss suggested that would have been a good way of redistributing the camel.

Camel redistribution theory was born.
