Week Beginning: Mon 8th October 2007

This week has been extremely hectic. Monday and Tuesday were filled with Goldsmiths, Wednesday and Thursday mornings were filled with organising my car to be fixed, while during the day I was organising for my Java App to be fixed (still not there with that).

My car was taken in Thursday morning and was ready by the afternoon, so I got a train down to Epsom. South-West trains have a wonderful colour-scheme that should be placed in a kids cartoon series. Their trains are bright red, with yellow around the doors and bright blue doors. Inside the carriages are spacious, with the same colour red on all the bars and seats visible. It's quite vibrant!

Friday was the day of Java at my Uni. I spent the morning at work working on my Java App again, and then spent the afternoon at Uni. The lecture had moved so I had to hunt around the school to try and find it.

The Java lecture was awesome. We got introduced to GOO, the Graphical Object-Oriented package we were going to use for learning advanced Java techniques. I think this term in Java is going to be a breeze!

This weekend was also hectic. Friday night I played and finished Portal (wicked!). Saturday was mainly spent browsing the net and watching the new episode of Avatar (Sokka's Master, more on that later).

Today we went down to Bognor Regis to visit my Nan and Bill. The sun was hot, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it was a brilliant clear day at the beach. Wonderful!

More on Avatar later this week... hopefully ;)

Broken Again!

Once again my Car has decided it has had enough of life and broken down. It broke down last only two weeks ago (although I didn't post about it at the time). And this is at a time when I am going to get a possibly large lab sheet to complete for CIS224 and that I need to fix the J2ME App I am working on, which is also broken.

Oh well, looks like a couple of busy days ahead of me! I will try and get the Avatar Review out soon when I find some free time.

And that was probably my shortest Blog entry ever!

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...

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.

Broken Down

*Sigh*

I'm not having a very good morning. A broken down Renault Clio last night means that we have to pay over £300 to get it fixed and get a replacement car. Which isn't good since we had to take it in to be fixed only a few months back... and so this is causing quite a few people to have mental breakdowns.

And now I find that Microsoft Office pre-installed on my Laptop computer is, in Microsoft's style, a trial-version. Which has now expired and closed down practically everything to do with Office in the Office programs. Which is extremely unhelpful!!

So, overall not a good morning. Maybe I can get some work done for Uni now that things have settled down... although I'm gonna have to use my Work Laptop which actually has a working Office!
