Wow, a long day! But, I've managed to get more of my assignment written up. I've been through it, corrected things, formatted it, so it's now quite close to completion. Just need to look up a few final facts on how VHDL lets you design at different abstraction levels. And I need the library for that. And yes, it is still open, but at 20:20 i think it's time to call it a day. don't you?

Haven't done much work on my project. It's mostly research really. Well, if I want any chance of a good grade, it's mostly research. But i still haven't got the robot up and working. I haven't even started building it. Well, that's not strictly true - i did start building it, then i thought "why am i making this so complicated?" and so decided to chuck it in the bin. Will do that during the xmas holiday. Want to get my assignments out the way first. As I mentioned before, the Digital assignment is nearly done (has to be in this time next week) but I have a comms assignment to hand in the first week after xmas. Hopefully, I'll get it finished next wednesday, no report for that one - just a logbook.

I have now bought my xmas cards. have bought 40 - not that i have 40 friends, but everyone at work'll want a card. So I got plenty. So will fill them out on Sunday probably.

Action packed at the moment?!

What else do i need to mention? Did i tell everyone i fixed my car? I did and was very proud of myself.

I seem to be heamorraging money. Not the nicest of words to use, I know, but I wanted dramatic effect and I think I managed it. Will have to keep a close eye on finances. Have plenty to last me for the next 3 months though at the least, so I'm not overly worried just yet.

Right, I'm tired and I'm sure after the nice cold walk, I'll be hungry too. So I'm going home and having my bolognese. And I shall enjoy it. I shall endeavour for an early night, get up later (about 8am I think), come in to uni and finish off my digital assignment. If there's time, there's plenty other stuff I can be getting on with.

I started this year by making packed lunches. Trouble is, there's nowhere to eat packed lunches at uni. Well, there is, but I'd have to wait till after the lunchtime rush. So I tried eating in my car, but it's getting a little too cold for that so I;ve been going into town for food. I think it's costing me about £3 a lunch, which is quite a bit when you think about it. So I may have to start packing my own lunches again - but I'm so exhausted from the almost non-stop work... I don't know how we manage!

Well, that concludes my update. Hope it's been informing and, with any luck, interesting. Am now alone in the university building. I'm glad those doors are locked! Bye everyone
