A Long Day

Today was a long day. I woke up at quarter-to-eight and spent the remainder of the day looking after my younger brothers while finishing off two business lab sheets and doing a lot of work on my Java Project. I also watched a Star Trek TNG in the afternoon and helped escort one of my younger brothers home.

In the evening, I did some more Java while listening to the Guild Wars Officers Meeting that was taking place. Ah the fun of a great debate!!

Now I'm just preparing for the day tomorrow, and the interesting week I'm bound to have ahead. I just have that feeling you get when you know it's gonna be another one of those weeks again... goodnight all!

So Much To Do...!

OK, let's think back... Thursday was Java (yay!) then I came home and my younger brothers came round for dinner, as well as my Mum.

Friday we had TCP/IP lecture in the morning, then a Maths test on trees, then an hours break, then a Java lecture on Classes, which was the best Java lecture so far!! Came home to find my younger brothers there and completed the remaining Avatar episodes that I hadn't already watched. Now just to wait for Book 3 and see what happens from the cliffhanger of the season finale... Then I finished off the evening with Guild Wars before heading off to bed.

Then today was Guild Wars and... more Java Programming! I have found throughout the past two weeks that I have enhanced my Java project I'm working on more and more, fixing minor bugs by the bucketful (both in design and code), and implementing vast numbers of features. I'd say I'm over halfway through the 'turn-based' combat mode (not including the text-based story mode that makes up the other half of my Java program).

OK, well that was a really short run-through of the past three days. I really should write on a more regular basis, but you know how it is... there's always so much to do!!

Wikiboxes

Bah, Wikipedia and their goofed up Userboxes: and their demand not to use the Wikipedia User Page as a personalised profile page. Otherwise I would use the Userboxes they have...

And Blogger doesn't have quite the same style. Maybe 'Space' organisations should catch on to Wikipedia's idea of Userboxes... anyway, welcome the creation of my Personal Information section!

Yesterday was Maths. Then Guild Wars/Avatar. Then bed. So a usual day.

Today was Java Programming (at home). Oh, and Guild Wars/Avatar. And probably bed to follow.

Tomorrow is Java Programming (at Uni). Then a trip round my Mum's for the evening to see my Mum, my Uncle and my two younger brothers. So, until then...

Back to Uni

Wow! What a week off... spent the time playing Guild Wars, watching Avatar: The Last Airbender (great Anime show that!), and generally relaxing in between Java Programming and doing some (or rather one) business (CIS108) lab sheet.

Oh and if you are wondering how I watched Avatar, then I'd check out this website, as it rocks.

To finish off, I'm back at Uni, and back to some real work. My second-half of my second-term is bound to be a lot more rigorous then the first as the exam term looms in the distance.

Reading Week's for...

...Work Play!

Yeah, well it's been for play since the beginning! Been getting really far in Neverwinter Nights 2. And I've got a Sorrow's Furnace run in Guild Wars planned tonight. And my younger brothers have been around for the weekend. So all-in-all haven't got much work done (apart from Java Programming which I consider fun!)

Anyway, gonna do some real Business (CIS108) work today.

Oh, and I liked having that link in my text in my previous blog, so I'm gonna start posting links to Wikipedia (and other related sites) on things so that you can check up on them if don't know them. Should you want to...

Easter Reading Week 07

At last! Reading Week has arrived, which basically means a week at home catching up on all the work I didn't do over the past half-term of Uni...

Spent Thursday (which I forgot to write about) Java programming, then the rest of the evening watching Robin Hood (the really good BBC TV series!).

Then Friday was my last day at Uni before the end of the week. I had CIS110 in the morning and CIS109 in the afternoon (where we learnt the more apt way's of sorting and searching numbers using Java).

Came home, did more Java Programming while babysitting my younger brothers. And now I'm going to bed in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Life's Like A Box Of... Broken Appliances

Forgot to post up a blog yesterday. Not much happened... went to Uni, had various Maths lectures, came home again, played Guild Wars and went to bed. My younger brothers and my Mum came round from my Mum's house, because her gas boiler is broken (1), and her house is like the arctic. Gonna cost a couple of hundred pounds to fix that.

Went and got my car back from the garage today, after that broke (2), and that including the rental is somewhere around half-a-grand. Then, came back and found that my dishwasher has broken (3), and that we're gonna have to pay some more money to get that fixed.

No more needs to be said... I'm going on Guild Wars for a bit...

Silent Work

Yesterday was a day spent working. I got up at 10:30am and worked solidly until 5:30pm, when I stopped. I then spent the rest of the evening playing Guild Wars: end of story, that's all, goodnight.

Today I woke up and had a nose-bleed in the shower, ran down the hill to catch my train which I just saw pulling out of the station, half-an hour later caught the next one, arrived in Uni 20 minutes late with another nose-bleed and then arrived in my lecture 40 minutes late overall. Not good.

Still, I handed in my CIS108 (Business) assignment and went to my Java lecture (CIS109), where I worked on my Java project and also something special was introduced (talk about this in a later blog...)

And as I am talking in CIS language, I thought I might as well list the sub-courses my Internet Computing course is comprised of:

• CIS102: Mathematics for Computing (Maths)
  
• CIS108: Information Systems: Foundations of E-Business (Business)
  
• CIS109: Introduction to Java and Object-Oriented Programming (Java)
  
• CIS110: Introduction to Computing and the Internet (Computer Hardware/HTML and CSS Programming etc/how Internet works)

That's all for today's blog.

Race Against Time

Argh!! I've got one more day to get this assignment finished off! Oh, when will I learn to start early?!? lol...

Other then that we went out for 3/4 hours today to Reigate. Yep, right when I've got a mega-assignment to complete for Monday. Oh well. Got my haircut, had lunch, and came back. All-in-all a nice trip, but just puts more pressure as I have less time. That's life for you: you never have enough time. So a word of advice from someone in the depths...

Spend time wisely.

Proof By Induction

Today was a big day. Not only had I got a Maths test where I had to prove that I knew how to prove by Induction, but my car was being taken in just moments before. Of course, I couldn't be in London and Epsom at the same time, so my brother Andrew had to go with Ella to the garage to get the car sorted out... took two phone-calls in the middle of a lecture and my Credit Card's PIN before it was all finished.

My test went OK but was definitely the hardest one yet. I definitely failed the last proof of Induction, but managed to get the first proof done alright, and all other questions were fine too, so hoping to get over 70% on this test. We'll see...

Other then that I've got this weekend to finish my Business assignment off. So I'm going on a crash-course of Business question writing starting tomorrow at 9am. Goody-o.

A Pointless Day

Have you ever had one of those days where you looked back on it and almost everything you've done during that day was a waste of time? Well, that's what today felt like in regards to my work, as I managed to complete not very much. Which means I'm gonna be flat-out over the weekend.

Went to Uni and had a completely pointless Lab (we were just going over last-weeks Lab, so there wasn't much to do and finished in first 20 minutes, so spent rest of the time making a pointless Java Program... lol)

Then, came home and spent the afternoon playing Guild Wars with my brother. My younger bros then came round and we had Indian, and my youngest brother watched movies off various websites. Then they left and I now have a fast-closing evening with nothing to do.

The only thing that was worth anything was the articles I'm reading off my Palm on my way to and from Uni, but that's for another post...

Oh well, Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion here we come!!
