DONE

(again)

Yes, I've finished re-doing my project. Report just needs some photo's - I'll get them tomorrow. Done a little demo and it worked okay. Hopefully I have evidence of achievment now. Am going to include lots of datasheet bits and bats in the appendix. Also, lots of pointless circuit diagrams and software listings. The circuits are incredibly simple, but for some reason they STILL want the diagrams.

Oh well.

Still, all done. Am going home now as I'm hungry and need to do some washing.

Bye everyone

There's lots of news to tell, so I hope you are sat comfortably. Enjoy...

My landlady kept mentioning her plans and how she was busy packing. So I took it as a subtle hint and decided to pack practically everything and take it to Tracy's house this morning (me being the master of over-reaction). The remainder (minus minimal clothing and books and TV and radio) will go to my parents with me tomorrow.

I am going out for a meal with parents as a joint "their anniversary, Father's day (I thought it'd already happened) and my birthday" dinner. We're going to a chinese/cantonese restaurant.

Friday I have a hospital appointment regarding my teeth. I'm determined to have something done as it is embarassing eating in front of people. Since I have no bite, sandwich fillings (for example) tend to all come out in one go.

Well, my exam results were released yesterday. I did well. Came very close to getting 2 A's, 1 B, 1 C for my overall module grades. But I didn't. I got A, B, C, C.

While that sounds good, it is my project which has let it all down. It failed. Which I predicted - which I knew was my Achilees Heel. Apparently there wasn't enough evidence of achievement. The rest was fine. Just no evidience of achievement ergo fail.

Not to worry though; I have the opportunity to redo a bit of the project. If I demonstrate that working, and analyse the buggery out of it, and write about it all in grotesque detail, then I may just pass. I'd get a D for it if I did.

But it doesn't stop there. Oh no. Because I have what's called a referral in my project (i.e. failed but allowed a second chance) I am not eligible to go onto the extension year. So either way I'm finished, whatever happens, on 5th July. Nice.

So, with a heavy heart (and severely dented pride) I have told my friends at work that I'm leaving soon. Not telling management until I have an exact date for them (I have to hang around for results).

Will start looking into jobs around Tracy's uni today. Oh that WILL be fun.

Today's Meeting

Today was the day I was summoned to uni:

<i>"Hi Lee

I'm afraid your project is being referred.

I'm trying to give you as much notice as
possible...The referred work deadline is 5th July.

Please let me know when you will be coming. If not
today then tomorrow morning"</i>

So now I am going to work hard until 5th July to get a
pass. There's much to do but if I do it, I could pass
this year.

I had mixed feelings about the meeting. Part of me
wanted to just walk away and be done with it. But this
really is the last hurdle. It's quite a short one too
when you think about it. Doubt I'll get on to next
year now so that issue has solved itself nicely.

One last hurdle. That sounds nice.

One last hurdle. Let's give it all I have left!
