Sem 2 Week 10

So week 10 and a busy week it’s been, two deadlines down 3 to go and still exams are coming up. Although hopefully there will be some relief with only 1 week until the week break from classes, but not from work to be done.

Monday

Nothing terribly unusual happened today it was a usual team meeting and trying to get something done followed by a group meeting with some interesting information from other people. But then in the afternoon I made my lecture for Software eng although my team mate didn’t so that means no actual work got done.

Tuesday

So this week I had to go into work to get a move on with the new Flicks site that was going up later in the week, but as usual Rodeo (people making the site) hadn’t put it into the CMS quite yet so it was just a lazy day converting work I was sure Woods was meant to be doing over the weekend. I made it to uni in time for the lecture and then wasted my time before I went to my Intro to Security class. This was terribly boring once more but my team mate for this subject and me sorted out what we were each covering for the assignment and so then we could start on this, although I didn’t start till Sunday.

Wednesday

Well Wednesday has never really been an enjoyable day and today was no exception in the morning, it was software eng and with a lot of documents due Friday I knew it would be busy. Due to needing to work with another team we basically got nothing done except set up what needed to be done and then we were waiting for their email. I wasn’t needed at work today because for once Woods was pulling his weight and the CMS for Flicks still wasn’t up. So it was off home, and with the weather being as nice as it was and me having had little more then 6 hrs sleep most night I decided to take the afternoon off and chill. Well think woods had the same idea cause about 3 in the arvo he called up said he’s on his way and it was off to his with a few of the boys for beers and a chill in the sun. It ended up as a really good arvo/night and was quite relaxing. I had planned to get some work done in the evening but that fell through badly.

Thursday

It had been decided the night before by me that I needed to ski class and go to work to meet with a bloke from Sydney who basically controls weather or not I will have a job, and thankfully the contract with the other company is valid till January so im pretty certain I have a job till then. Before this there was a fair bit of waiting because we got most of the work done earlier then normal, due to me because Woods was writing an article for that days paper, but once we were both finished we went to the press conference but it was ending so we missed out there. Eventually I got to uni but it was too late to go to my lecture so I got a very late lunch and tried to get some work done for the 2 deadlines I had coming up, Friday and Monday.

Friday

Well today I had a lot of documenting to do but decided to do it from home via msn with my team mate, and in the end we got everything done quite well compared to the first stage and in a little earlier so it was a little less stressful then normal. Now we just have to start on the final stage of coding which will be very hard.

Saturday

I have decided that Saturday is my day off and im not doing any work on Saturday, I needed the break just doing nothing but I find it’s still not enough, but deadlines don’t care so I knew Sunday would be a big day of working hard. I did go to the footy and watch Harvey’s last game and the Saints get knocked out of the finals. It’s disappointing, but I knew going in that there was very little chance of winning but with a lot of hope. Although I did make the big screen in one of the crowd shots so that was funny.

Sunday

Well Sunday was a bad day, it was off to a slow start and so I knew that meant a late night would be coming up. I got my team mates work quite late so that was quite annoying but once I had it I fitted it into the document I had created finished mine off (mostly all of it) and was happy with it by 1:30 so I got some sleep, and I would have to submit it once I got to uni on Monday.

All in all a pretty busy week for the most part, I ended up starting my tax on Saturday and so I am nearly finished that and hope too early this week so I get some more cash, because work is also due to pay me this Wednesday or else I will go onto contractor rates and earn even more. Although I have decided that im not going to waste my money on gadgets or a new laptop I want, im going to save it and see if I can get my own set of wheels sometime after exams or before the end of the year at least, well that’s the plan anyway. Hopefully my tax refund can be my spending money once that comes through. Well just this week to get through and then a week without classes hooray finally.
