Sem 2 Week 5

Ok so week 5 and things are really starting to ramp up. This week ive had 2 tests and I have no idea how they went but I never really dwell on them so meh. Ok so onto the week that was.

Monday was IE as normal we finished off the task list for the user manual and it was really good to get it finished, im sure it will change as the system changes but it’s a great foundation to work off, now all we need to do is all the task write us and this will take a long time. Cladi cleaned up and made sure everything was in the correct order for Tuesday so that we could start writing out the tasks in detail. In my lecture at Clayton I got no listening done cause I got the Olympics working on my laptop so I watched that (yeah im lazy).

Tuesday morning had Cladi Danny and myself working on the tasks in detail, by the end of our meeting we had a great template going and Cladi gave Danny and myself a few of them to do by Monday (ive actually finished mine a couple of hours ago) so im sure we will be given more tomorrow morning, and I think it will be like this for quite a while. Then I had a couple of lectures and then it was off to my first test of the week and that was for security and I hope I did ok cause everything worked it just probably wasn’t the correct way (i.e. there’s probably a better way to do most of it).

Wednesday I had to find a partner for my software eng class, my problem with this is the guy I have been doing a lot of work with is not doing the assignment (apparently done it before) so I had to meet a new person and he seems to know what he’s doing so things are looking up. In the afternoon I got a call from a mate to see if I could help him out and test a system for a newspaper he works with, I said yes of course and after a fair few phone calls I have my first meeting with them tomorrow and im really looking forward to it. More on this next week once ive worked out what im doing or at least meant to be doing.

Thursday I went to uni nice and early because I had phone calls still to make to organise my meeting on Monday (originally it was for Friday, but the Content Management System, CMS, was not ready so it as pushed till Monday) I did a little study for my second test for the week for HCI. I have no idea how I went and will be very happy with anything above a pass. It just seemed silly to have a test when an assignment seemed much more appropriate to me, but well it’s not up to me is it. After the test was the lecture and this means now we have the new lecturer so it will be interesting to see how he goes.

Friday was pretty much a non day I caught up on foxtel and that’s about as productive as I got, oh yeah and I ran my sister round to uni and work cause mum was busy and she’s spoilt.

Saturday was a great day, I did next to nothing and even though I had planned to organise my toga much earlier it ended up being a 7pm sheet job, but I gotta say it worked well for me. Then it was off to the party and a great night was had by me, and im guessing most of the people that attended.

Sunday was not bad either. I had stayed at Luke’s and so I helped with the clean up a little. I think I was 4th up or something like that but I kicked around for a while just cause I could (love not having to be anywhere). In the end I sorta had to race home to be there in time for Hackett’s swim, and the pit stop for maccas lunch got me home right on the dot, I barely had time to get a plate out. After my younger sister got home she wanted to go to Knox to shop and I felt like going shopping so I indulged her and it was a good way to spend most of the afternoon vs sitting around home on the pc or in front of the TV.

So it was a good week (although I still didn’t do my tax) but with plenty of work to do this week im sure, starting my career as an IT Analyst, and a software eng test on Wednesday. Im defiantly going to be busy this week.
