Week 7

Week 7 brought me one really boring weekend since my last blog. I have no idea why but i just didn't do anything except catch up on a little sleep. Anyway once the weekend was over it was Monday and a tour of our clients offices and a whole team meeting with our contacts was in order. It just so happened that i stuck to my previous style for all these meetings and bought my suit to uni with me, and being the only one that wasn't wearing my suit i stood out quiet easily I'm thinking i will probably do something about that before the next meeting (i mean it wasn't that bad catching buses home in my suit it shouldn't be too bad getting to uni).

The next interesting part of my week was on Wednesday and ill start with programming. Each class we have some work due i and then get the next weeks work, all i do is turn up get y work marked and leave, this week i had to cop a lecture basically about I'm dong it wrong because it i'nst the way i need to do it to do next weeks work, i didn't even know what next weeks work was yet. It annoyed me so much, and there was no point for it when i read the spec i knew things would need to change to get next weeks work i don't need a lecture saying "you've done this all wrong" well no its not wrong if it meets the specs that are required for this week.
Anyway the actually fun part of Wednesday was later in the evening when all the IE students gathered with clients and academics further up the ladder then normally meet as a mere student. I don't think i spent enough time meeting other clients and senior academics as i should have, although i still did enjoy the night.

On Thursday i ran into an old friend who i haven't seen in a few years, due to his joining the army, while i was picking another mate up for the trip to the Nott. It was completely unexpected to see him but it was a really good start to a Thursday night at the Nott, a night that kept getting better because one of my close friends had turned 21 the previous day so there was a lot of people at the Nott that don't make it there every week. So of course the night also ended up going right through kickout time via maccas before i got home (a fair bit later the normal, but it was a really good night).
This was a good ending to the night after finding out i had failed a group assignment which i am quiet annoyed at, but with the option to resubmit i think we will end up doing better.

Today i started work on redoing the assignment and will continue throughout the weekend before getting Rowan to go over it and pointing out what Ive missed. Although seeing the saints get up over the bombers was good but would have been better if i had decided to go in and watch the game in person instead i got to watch it on TV.

Well this blog is over, look forward to the next one.
