Day One of Revision (Yesterday):
Now am ready for question on linear sequential systems and finite state machines

Day Two of Revision (Today):
Have confidence in answering on design for test issues and pipelining. Pretty much covered all term one digital work now. Decided not to start on term 2 stuff as that's a lot of hard work and there's not much of the day left.

Extra:
Have only been arriving at uni at 12. Must try to get in earlier. Also, why do people with colds insist on congregating around me. Furthermore, the air in here is recirculated - ergo I hope I'm not infected damn it!

Have prepared for journey to Germany - rang the hotel. I said good morning in German - to show I'd made an effort, and then asked kindly if I could speak in English. Well the lady on the other end of the phone didn't sound too impressed. If I knew more German than "Where's the train station?", "Good Morning/Day/Night", "Thanks", a formal and informal "Goodbye" and general counting words I would have happily sat and had a merry little conversation with the woman. But I don't so I didn't. I talked in my clearest English accent, not my usual 'mumbled local to somewhere in the country' accent. Maybe that was what she was peeved about. Next time I'll just mumble and see if she likes that any better!

I think I shall go home, have some tea and maybe play on the Sims, but I feel like watching TV tonight and The Bill is on at 8.
