So Semester 2 has started and looks to be a pretty good one, my subjects look good (after only one week so expect that to change), my timetable is good although Tuesdays are going to be my long day, and least I get something resembling a sleep in on Wednesdays and Thursdays with Fridays off I know ill be wasting those by sleeping in way too late. Anyway I think its time to catch up on what’s happened since the last blog.
Ok first up is exams, but not really cause my exams were badly outnumbered by the number of 21st's I attended during June so I call it a period of 21st's with a couple of exams breaking it up. Anyway my exams were Programming, Sys Int and Game. I think the timetablers at the uni are a funny bunch scheduling Programming (probably my most hated subject at uni, on my third attempt) on the morning of my 21st bday (/sarcasm). Well I guess its not that bad I ended up passing the unit so I guess it was third times the charm. Next up was Sys Int and that went ok I thought but I guess I was wrong because somehow I ended up failing, its not that bad I guess I thought that this would be border line I just didn't expect to fail by as much as I did. Game was a similar story with a different result, I had only just scraped through the assignments, and the exam threw me like I wouldn't believe especially the last question. Although I guess it didn't throw me too badly because I passed this unit.
In between all of these exams I had multiple 21st's all of which went really well and I only drove to one so im very happy. This included my own 21st which went really well and I had a great night (and there’s actually still decorations up that no ones taken down). Well the 21st's didn't end with the completion of the exam period this past weekend ive had 2 21st's and they went really well (how could the bar tab go from covering tab beer and wine to anything behind the bar be a bad thing, well I guess it did stop me from going to karate on Saturday morning). It doesn’t look like im going to have very many weekends without a 21st for a while and im looking forward to all of them that are coming up.
With the first week of semester came the time to start our first deliverable which is due on Friday, but we broke up into 3 sub teams to make sure we get on top of all the deliverables that are due this semester. Well that meant that Cladi Danny and myself are responsible for the test plan while Dye and Rowan are getting all the code working, and Ben is going over all of last semesters deliverables to update them as necessary. We got a lot of work done on the Test plan in our team meeting on Tuesday morning especially because Cladi was very prepared and had already done a template so this allowed us to jump in and work on the content. This is going well and if everything goes to plan tomorrow we should be very close to finished with the test plan.
So the first week of semester went well and for the first time at uni I am a Clayton student (Monday afternoon and Wednesdays only though) as well as being at Caulfield, although the few of my mates that have told me many stories of there Clayton escapades have gotten over it I guess its time to see if there stories do really happen (oh yeah and its green week this week so this is the week it could happen). Anyway so our IE rooms have changed around a little we have a new lab and a new lecture theatre for the year (which is way WAY too big for our class) although a change of scenery is always good. Nothing really interesting or remarkable happened during my first week of classes I haven’t had all of them yet but that will happen by the end of this week. Oh yeah and if I get up early enough on Friday I will get myself 2 cars for a week and a bit so that’s going to be fun.
Anyway that’s been my uni break and my first week back here’s too week 2.
