Well it’s been a stressful week (and I don’t help myself out with my ability to procrastinate), but with a very relaxing weekend im ready for this week. The main things I had due were Programming and Game Level both of which were due Friday.
Monday I went in to uni early with intentions to start work on my fit2048 assignment (game level) which didn't really happen, I should have started it earlier so that I could understand how to use the program to complete the assignment. Instead I was stupid and had charged up my PSP so I spent most of the day playing that instead of working. Luckily I saw this and left it at home for the rest of the week though. Monday night I talked to a few people online and got some tips for my game level (fit2048 assignment) and started getting bits of it to come together.
Tuesday I went to FIT2048 to get help from people in my group and was very pleased that Gab had come in early because he helped me get a lot of work done before the start of class. Although I had missed a few weeks of this class Gab and Morgan weren’t much further through the assignment then me, although they did really know how to use the program. What was annoying was the 4th member of our group had been away as well but didn't even turn up this week to finish his part. So we decided to move on without him, and we still haven’t heard from him so hopefully he has found a way around this himself. At the Tuesday seminar I really couldn't follow the guest lecturer, dunno what it was I just really couldn't get my mind onto listening to him and so I just pulled out my laptop and spent the time catching up on other things I like to keep up with. Oh yeah and Ben won blog of the week although he has been promised his chocolate at a later date.In the afternoon team meeting I actually did some work (sequence diagrams) and then after I had done the first few, I did something ive never done at uni before and very infrequently at home as well (i.e. years between each time), I asked for more work. Eventually I went home and continued doing sequence diagrams and my game level and even further putting off my programming.
Wednesday was a pretty stupid day from my point of view. Basically I wasted the day and got very little of anything done while I was at uni. I had discovered word twist on facebook and that application is pure procrastination. Once I was home I skipped karate and actually got some work done on my game level and it was really starting to take shape. Although the stress of the deadline was rapidly building I got around this and went to bed at a reasonable time to continue my theme this week of being at uni a lot earlier then I normally am.
Thursday I was again at uni very early and started working on sequence diagrams and my game level, which was pretty close to finished it just needed some added interaction and the UFO to stay away from. Once the rest of my group had a break in classes we went and worked on it further and at the end of the day I had the UFO in the game and most of the interaction finished off. Then it was off to SYS INT, oh yeah and the lecturer has finally noticed that not a lot is thought of her by the students which I thought was quiet obvious. The lecture was quite dry until the end where we got an idea of what may appear on the exam. The class was ok and we basically went through some questions of a type that may appear on the exam. damn I hate exam and unit revision, I just really wanted to know my marks but im way to scared of how low they may be to go and ask. Once that was over it wasn’t as easy a night as it normally is because mum had to go and change plans we made last week without telling even though it affected me quite a bit, and I didn't go to the pub cause of the deadlines the next day and it was very very cold. So yeah I continued with my game level as best I could and went to sleep.
Friday I woke up after 8 hrs in bed and felt like id had maybe 3-4 hrs of actual sleep (there’s that stress affecting me for once), I helped mum dismantle my bed then got a lift to uni. I met up with gab and we started working on our game level and he really helped me here and I got my intro movie working and then once Morgan got there we finished off all the levels, burnt them and submitted about 2.5 hrs before the deadline. After this I got lunch and tried to do programming which after a while I knew just was not going to happen so I called it a day and went home. My 21st pressie from mum and dad had arrived while I was submitting my game level and damn its a nice bed, mum tried to play it as if the bed hadn't fitted in the room but I was so tired I waited to get home before I said anything, cause I thought she might be joking which she was. And what a nice bed it is im loving it so far. Well I procrastinated the rest of the afternoon with foxtel and some relaxing and after dinner I got in and worked hard on programming. After re-organising all my work from the previous weeks assessed work I was happy with it and submitted it 45mins before the deadline of midnight.
The minute I hit submit I felt soooooooooo much better and less stressed, & then went around to a mates place just to chill and catch up with the boys. That was such a relaxing finish to the night I stayed out much later then I had planned and only got home about 2ish. And I didn’t get up for a long time I had a kick arse sleep in that I was really happy with.
Saturday I slept in and skipped karate for the second time this week and did nothing all day except relax and eventually I got ready for the 21st I was attending that night. I was feeling really lazy and couldn’t come up with any ideas for the theme that I could do with what I had at home so I didn’t bother, and luckily was not the only one although there were some really good costumes there. The 21st was really good and I really enjoyed myself, I had decided to drive cause I didn’t want to miss out on getting back to my new bed, and really didn’t want to have to catch a taxi.
Sunday I slept in again of course and started doing some serious organising for my 21st which included my invite which are very nearly done, and listening to mum go on about what she wants to do to the deck to make in enclosed which im really over because every time mum has a day off and im home she goes on and on about what she wants to change at home and it gets boring after you hear it enough. Anyway I got on with things and did not much of anything except transfer files around to make space and copy a disc to my laptop and phone I had acquired on Friday night from my mate who got 100 copies of the disc too late to distribute at gamerthon, and it’s actually quite good. Then I ran a COD 4 scrim that we have to dispute because Game Arena are crap and let there servers die way too often, we probably would have won too, we were coming right back, but the other team agrees with us so hopefully it will get rescheduled.
Oh well im going to go to bed early for once because im meant to be up early tommorrow for some reason, and I have plenty of work to do in the morning.

Week 11
Ok so after spending many hours after last weeks blog and more then a few while at uni i finally finished my Sytems Integration assignment right before i had to leave for our groups client meeting. Im ok with the assignment even though it was fairly rushed, mainly because im no good at assignments with such a large amount of writing. Other then finishing my assignment and the client meeting which went well from my point of view (I was recording it and wasent sure how it would work, it worked well from my point of view), Jake threw chocolate and cake day during our IE Studio. This went really well mainly because chocolate and cake always go well.
On tuesday i felt the effects of a late night sunday due to my lazyness and missed my morning class. This is annoying but was my fault due to consistent lack of planning with assingments and so i am still a fair way from finished with my game level and it would have helped to be at class and get help from others in my group, although i think i have a solid foundation and will try get it finished before this weeks class. The ie semiar was very good and gave me a good idea of what to expect mid next year if i end up getting a graduate position, which i hope i do.
Wednesday i had programming which i didn't go to *again* but i will have to go this week to find out if i need an interview for the final assignment, which i have heard probally wont happen. After uni i went to Bens place for house night which i really enjoyed escpecially because i havent been to it in a long time, although it did mean i had missed karate. Missing karate was not such a bad idea because it makes me remember how much i need to find a class on a night other then wednesday so i can get out more.
Thursdays classes at uni had been cancelled this week due to "extenuating circumstances" so this allowed me to have a really lazy day, mainly because i was expecting to do some work on Friday. I didn't go to the nott for once this week, mainly because from those i had spoken too it seemed no one in my group was going to be there so i stayed in instead of going out way to late in way too cold weather.
Friday i ended up with no work done but i did get my 21st present organised and ordered, which im certain ill be getting early. Then once i got home (im not so good at shopping that much walking is annoying) i got organised and worked out what people were doing before meeting at the footy, and with no organised predrinks it was going to be much easier so i just caught the train into town (which i only just made, damn you traffic). The footy was really good except for the score but its been a while since i had been to the footy so it was good to see a game again. Now i just need to get to the footy more often and for theSaints to win some more games.
Saturday was just a normal day really Karate in the morning and then doing not much else for the rest of the day. it was a good day just to relax and catch up wth a few of the boys durng the day. Sunday was very similar except no karate. My COD 4 team did have a scrim which we drew, but it was a very tense match with the bomb getting planted almost every round, and is good because we havent had many wins latly. Then as soon as that scrim had finished the BF2 SF team needed another player so i filled in and we won this 115-65 so in all it was quite a successful night.
All in all it has been a good week with a nice relaxing weekend in prep for a busy week with 2 really big assignments due friday night, plus all the other time i will spend on IE work while at uni.

Week 10
Ok so I will start this with last Saturday night where I had a 21st not far from home at all. It was really good because it was such an easy and fun night, just talking drinking and listening to some absolutely hilarious stories during the speeches. There were many people there that I don’t normally get to see because people are always getting busier and make it out less and less often. A few mates started the night at mine and once a few more had arrived and wed all finished our pre drinks we set off and walked down to the local bows clubs function room. After greeting the birthday boy (happy 21st again AB) it was off to the bar and to see what sort of dent we could make in the tab. With a couple of beers I went round seeing who was there and generally catching up with most people, and as usual most of the group was outside so I grabbed a chair and the night was off. The speeches were very good and AB knew what was coming so before most of them he was in hysterics, and after each speech or story so were we. The night went really well and the bar tab held out till the end as far as I was aware (I didn’t have to pay for any beers so all was good), although after I didn’t really feel like bed so after dropping by home for a few beers (I didn’t quite finish all my pre drinks) and to drop my sister off (she never takes her keys anywhere) me and Woods headed off to find the other 21st Chad had run off to earlier just before the speeches ended at AB’s. after I think 3 phone calls and 10 minutes of walking we found him and he tried to get us a few more beers from his party but couldn’t so we went off to the park and drank the last beers we had and sat around chatting for around an hour or two. Which was good because normally we don’t get to talk for long at the pub and a lot has been happening lately so lots to catch up on. Eventually we ended up heading off for bed, although we have made tentative plans to go away for a week over the semester break just to relax and chill, just a few of us and it will probably end up like schoolies 2 but without the nice weather.
Sunday was a quiet day I just relaxed and finished off my blog, which was disappointing because I had wanted to get more work done on my use case’s before Mondays IE class. Which probally would not have mattered because due to my inability lately to wake up on time I missed my bus, and then to kill time I thought a good idea would be to go to the local library and work. Well that was a good idea until I missed the second bus and was then quite late to Mondays IE studio. Well apparently I didn’t miss much, and after a group meeting most of the team worked for a bit then headed off, and I was much the same I headed off after finishing half my use cases. I ended up finishing my other 2 use cases a little after dinner and then worked for too long on my level for FIT2048 late into the night.
Tuesday started much like Monday after finding my alarm (my mobile phone) next to my bed and not on the other side of the room I could tell I was late again, and it gets worse because the email with my use cases I had sent to Ben the night before was still trying to send itself, so I had to reset the net again (I had some serious issues on Monday night with my internet which helped me get plenty of work done with almost no facebook to help me procrastinate) and send him the email which apparently worked.
I should have spent the rest of the week writing up my academic paper for FIT3068 but all I did was half ar*ed research and found a few resources, but since starting to write today I have now realised its not enough so I will be struggling through it until late tonight/early tomorrow.
On Thursday I went to the pub for a couple of hours and could really tell I shouldn’t have been there because even the hardcore Monash Clayton uni residents weren’t drinking and so it wasn’t as full as it normally would have been.
Friday was meant to be a day of work on my academic paper but mum distracted me by getting me to start planning my 21st which is coming up during the exam period, and so I got no work done. Saturday was much the same but it was more me off at karate and then too tired to really get much work done for the day, I should have gone with dad to the football but instead I tried to get some work done on this academic paper which again did not happen. Anyone else noticing a recurring theme here? (While there’s time left I don’t work to well on subjects I hate).
Finally today I have gotten some work started although still wishing I was better at the research and had gotten more work done before today, oh well its my fault now its just time to get back to work and get this done before IE tomorrow.

Week 9
Ok so week 9 is just about to finish up and what have i done this week. Not much really when it comes down to it.
Ok so last friday after my previous blog i went out to a 21st for a mate ive known since primary school (lets call him Andy), the 21st was dinner in richmond (actually really nice place and the measl were very good) and then back to his place (cause his parents were away) to chill and hang out. So we all met at Andy's place before heading in, but due to lack of planning we were like "oh shit how do we get to the station". We worked that one out by getting a mates dad to drive one car load to the station, another of the guys getting dropped off by his sister got her to take a car load and one of the other guys was driving all the way in so he took a car load. Anyway a few of us took some travellers and we were off.
Once the train got to the station we were all about to get on but some ticket inspectors had just escorted some really drunk guy off the platform, and then decided to come and get 2 of our group for drinking on the platform, one of the 2 was me and it sucks cause now i need to wait for a fine that may or may not come, i just wish i knew if it was oming or not (im pretty certain ill be getting a fine though).
Anyway i put that behind me and ended up haveing a really good meal a couple of drinks then we all headed back to Andys place. At dinner we had another of the group turn up from a prior commitment and she took one car load back to Andys, so that left Andy Chad Woodsy and myself (all of us have been mates since primary school, we went off to different high schools and now Uni's and we still see each other every other week, oh yeah and the 4 of us went to schoolies together as well) to catch the train back and then taxi it to Andys, Kyle tagged along and picke up her car along the way to go home for sleep (she had been to the dawn service so she was a little tired).
Instead of catching a taxi Wos had recently finished work and so he gave us a lift back to Andys and so that saved us a cab fare which is always good. Well the rest of the night consisted of drinking (i think i ended up suppling for most people due to Woodsy, i fixed his dads pc a few weeks back and i think Woodsy talked him into getting me some beer which arrived that friday night, so i was more then willing to share it cause i dont drink too much on my own anyway), and sitting around talking for most of the night. In the end i shared a taxi home with Steve and Karen, mainly because im lazy, it was wet and they were heading that way anyway.
Saturday i went to karate which is harder then you think after a big night and little sleep but i stuggled through it and once i got home i ended up feelng heaps better (i was mainly tired, but i had gotten all of my balance back) i was "reminded" (i say reminded because i never get told whats happening by my family till its on) that our family was going out for the arvo and evening for mums birthday which was on sunday (but due to my sister working sunday arvo we did it on saturday) we went to dinner at the Lobster Cave and before that we went and visted some family. All this ment that i couldn't go round to Rowans and finish off our Systems Integration that we had to resubmit. So this was quiet annoying, although once i got home i found the work id done on friday and emailed rowan the points i was going to be using to complete my answers to my 2 questions for the resubmission work, then i needed some sleep so it was off to bed.
On sunday evening, after spending most of the day going here and there and everywhere me and dad got my sister a usb drive because she broke her first one, then the one i loaned her (my old one) which she anihilated (now i know what the inside of a usb drive looks like, quiet unimpressive), so we were trying to get her one much like mine so it might hold up to her use, (we ended up getting one similar to mine but plastic instead of metal cased (same design etc)), i got a lot of work done on my questons for Systems Integration with only a very small amount to finish off on monday before IE Studio.
Monday was meant to be an earlier start then it was but it wasn’t, although once I did meet up with rowan before IE studio, I finished off my questions and got him to go through them, which was useful cause he saw a couple of things I had forgotten to put in so I fixed that up and were had then finished Systems Integration. The IE studio went well, well they all do it’s a good way to keep up and Jake and POD always have something funny so that helps make things go quick. After IE and a short walk to submit Systems Integration we all went off to our clients for a client meeting. The client meeting went well to a point, we had our mock-ups to show them (great work Dze and Rowan), then our clients had ideas of how they wanted it which were different to ours and don’t seem the easiest to implement, but we will work out how to either overcome this or we will find a work around.
On Tuesday I went to my class that makes me miss out on the morning meeting which was quite a bad thing for the week I think, mainly because I got Portal working on my laptop (its now gone from the laptop so I don’t get distracted by it anymore), the other reason is because I missed out on a fair bit of drama concerning our groups use of the K1.06 meeting room. I was filled in on the details but because I wasn’t there I won’t comment on it other then to say “power trip”. So after I was filled in on the details we went off to the IE seminar (after a bite of lunch) which involved flying minties and a lot of information on data bases, and Dze winning blog of the week (about time too his blogs have all been really good).
At the afternoon team meeting we all started on work that had to be done, Ben Dze and Rowan were working on use cases that had to be done for the FRS, Cladi and I were working on parts of the FRS. All in all I slacked of badly, I was meant to be helping Cladi but once she was typing up what we had worked out I would hit up portal for what I told my self would be for just a minute, which usually went for 10, unless Cladi asked me something which wasn’t fair to her. So yeah no more games on my laptop or ill get distracted too much, and I really have to much work to do anyway.
Thursday I had planned to get up early and go to uni to do my use cases that I have been assigned, but that wasn’t to be and I got to uni at normal time and wasted some time before class. The lecture had was different enough to be interesting because that’s the last one that is examinable and there was a virtual guest lecturer so that was different. The laboratory after this was ok we were working on pivot tables in groups and this went well even though most of the steps were incorrect for office 2007. Oh yeah and we got the answers to the questions wrong, because of decimal points, but in the end we found our problems. Thursday night at the Nott was ok but cold and few people were there, although the Bundy Chicks were there again so Simon ended up with 2 hats (I relieved him of one) a shirt and a photo, he was annoyed cause he’s only ever gotten large shirts and needs a medium.
Friday was quite boring and I got a reasonable start on my use cases before I started this blog, but I haven’t finished them quite yet. I’ve finished this blog on Sunday but I will start next weeks blog with this weekend, all I can say about Saturday night though is EPIC, and if you want to know why you can tune into my next blog.

All in all I slacked of badly, I was meant to be helping Cladi but once she was typing up what we had worked out I would hit up portal for what I told my self would be for just a minute, which usually went for 10, unless Cladi asked me something which wasn’t fair to her. So yeah no more games on my laptop or ill get distracted too much, and I really have to much work to do anyway.
Thursday I had planned to get up early and go to uni to do my use cases that I have been assigned, but that wasn’t to be and I got to uni at normal time and wasted some time before class. The lecture had was different enough to be interesting because that’s the last one that is examinable and there was a virtual guest lecturer so that was different. The laboratory after this was ok we were working on pivot tables in groups and this went well even though most of the steps were incorrect for office 2007. Oh yeah and we got the answers to the questions wrong, because of decimal points, but in the end we found our problems. Thursday night at the Nott was ok but cold and few people were there, although the Bundy Chicks were there again so Simon ended up with 2 hats (I relieved him of one) a shirt and a photo, he was annoyed cause he’s only ever gotten large shirts and needs a medium.
Friday was quite boring and I got a reasonable start on my use cases before I started this blog, but I haven’t finished them quite yet. I’ve finished this blog on Sunday but I will start next weeks blog with this weekend, all I can say about Saturday night though is EPIC, and if you want to know why you can tune into my next blog.
