Revision Day Four:
Have started on my analogue revision now. It's hard
going and I have to say that i REALLY want to go home.
But I shall get this one question out of the way. It's
taken me an hour to write one side of A4 of bullet
points. Terrible, Terrible.

Lots of prospective students touing the place today.
Making the place look crowded.

And that's the second time I've seen that girls with
the nice skirt today.

I am the first person to hand in my dissertation out of my pathway.

Just thought I'd brag about that while I'm here. Told you I needed to be more positive when I post things.

Not a lot to report. Didn't get assignment completed last night due to running out of time. Work's departmental meeting was productive though. Thankfully, most of the complaints were about things I didn't do. But there's still room for improvement.

So today I shall finish that assignment and do some Analogue revision. I'd say that and Comms are going to be the toughest subjects. Quality Management should be okay, but the past papers are a bit questionnable - so that's something to bring up next week.

Well, I have to go in to town to get some £2 coins for the car park. I'll get lunch while I'm there so I've been wasting time. Shouldn't really, and I can think up excuses to make it all okay, but time does need to be set aside for life outside of education and work.

That wasn't the excuse by the way.

I feel bad now.

Bye for now

I was worried about an assignment I did at uni. I know I've been worried about several, but the one I am about to talk about was my Law Assignment. It was hard going - I had to search through countless law reports to try and find a relevant case to demonstrate what we had been taught occuring in real life. (All about Intellectual Property Rights).

Well, I got the mark for it today.

I got an A.

I don't quite believe it yet. I don't want to believe it as I may have mis-read the mark. Somehow. Despite many checks.

How about that then?

In other news, dissertation should get finished today. Must write up my communications lab report tonight and hand it in tomorrow morning with the diss. Revision has gone to pot these past few weeks, but once the above 2 items are out of the way, it's plain(ish) sailing for 3 weeks, then exams.

It appears that I've started to believe myself when I keep telling myself "I can do this".

See - positive mood and I can do anything. Bloody typical. Yet I'm still in two minds about doing my Masters year. Too late now though - I've filled in all the forms and have bullied myself into it.

Well, I'm back now. Still at parents house but not for long. Am up to date on my sci-fi TV programmes, and am well rested. Need to get backto Hudds ASAP really, but I don't want to. So, I'm going to have lunch and then drive back up to Tracy's house. I'll say hello and then I don't know what to do.

I want to start playing tennis so I'm looking forward to some good weather. Will also need to buy a racket and balls. But it's all good.

Revision and project report will be worked on over the next few weeks. So you can all look forward to some nice boring posts. Sorry.

Bye for now

Where do I begin? I would love to produce a nice, ordered account of the last few days. But I'll just try my best instead...

Well I got back to the West Mids on Tuesday 29th. I met friend #1 and helped him with his revision. I can't say I did much, but I think I helped. I hope I did. He very kindly bought me a Tandoori pizza. I didn't know it was a Tandoori pizza and so imagine my suprise when my eyes started watering. Still, it was nice and also very kind of him.

The next stop was my cousins house. It was good catching up with him and I hope he was taking me seriously when I said I'd have the sofa that he needs to get rid of off him. Though I'll need to rent storage for it. Then if I have storage, I can empty my parents garage and loft and my room which are all stuffed with my things. Trouble is, it's quite pricey. But I'll sort something.

Wednesday was my trip to the dentist. I think he was in a good mood because he's ofered to make an appointment with a hospital for me. There, I would talk to an orthodontist about the gap between my top and bottom teeth. I've wanted it fixed for a while - but only because eating becomes rather embarrasing if biting is required. It should already be done by now, but I got lost in the system a few years back and never chased it up.

Thursday saw me going to Stanstead Airport. It wasn't until I got there that I realised I'd been there before when I flew to Germany on a work trip. So it was quite fitting that I was flying to Germany once more. This time to Nuremberg.

Well I got to the airport nice and early. When I checked in the plane was already 30 minutes late. I then sat in a restaurant in the departure lounge eating my tea. Well the flight kept getting more and more delayed so eventually I went to sit at the gate. I got my radio out and listened to the control tower. And there I sat for at least 30 minutes listening to approach control, waiting for my plane to land. It eventually turned up and I set off about 90 mins late.

I arrived in Germany about 10 minutes after the last train to Erlangen. So I had to get a taxi. It was expensive, but not as bad as I thought it would be. I'm not allowed to tell the exact amount. I then had a brief walk (that was mostly guesswork) to the hotel. After waking up the night porter, I was in bed by 3am CET. Nice.

Well on Friday, Shaz came to meet me and we went by train to Nuremberg. She was a very good guide for the whole trip to be honest; a stressful job, but I'm very grateful for it. Anyway, we went to where Hitler built his political centre. Or, and I quite liked Shaz's way of saying this, where Hitler had places to shout at people. It really was huge, in hindsight I should have expected this. There was also lots of walking and general sight seeing which I really enjoyed.

Saturady we went to Banberg. It was a lovely market city/town. Nowt to do, but nice none the less. And there was definately a leg coming out of a wall. the leg was unlikely to be going in to the wall. And that won't make sense to many people will it?! Also went to the train/communications museum in Nuremberg. That was a very interesting day.

Sunday was spent in Erlangen. Walking through parks, sat at cafe's. I think I enjoyed this more than Shaz did so I'm sorry if I bored you, but it was a welcome change from walking and sweltering in the sun.

Monday was also a more relaxed day. Went shopping for presents and watched TV. This was also a lovely day. Well, my flight left that evening. We got there just in time. I walked pretty much straight through to the departure gate and joined the end of the que to board the plane. So there wasn't much time to spare!

Plane landed 10 minutes early and I left the plane bang on 19:50... the arrival time. Now there's standards for you!

During my trip Shaz cooked some lovely food for me and I think this deserved a mention because it wasn't necessary but muh better than eating alone in the hotel restaurant.

Talking of the restaurant, I went there once. I was the only guest in the room, there were two members of staff chatting and eating while I was. The food was well cooked, nice size portion and reasonable price for a restaurant. Unfortunately, a large lump of turkey wrapped in omellette was not very nice at all. Oh well.
