I have been working nearly all day on these lab write ups and they are still not done. I’m shattered now and I need sleep. Looks like its all gonna have to get done later today. Lucky me. Serves me right for not doing it sooner i suppose. Sleep time now.

I planned this evening to get some circuits simulated as part of my course work due in friday. The problem was the buggers wouldnt simulate. This has been a major set back and has raised my stress level a considerable ammount. Looks like I need to find a solution and fast. On the plus side [...]

Breakfast this uni was a bargain. I went to get a sausage and egg cob and two hash browns. This usually costs me £1.25. This morning however one of the delightful canteen ladies overcooked an egg slightly. So she gave it to me as an extra free. Now this alone I would have been happy [...]

It needed nearly a complete rewrite to get it working. I thought I needed to do a second lab prep too [...]

Its a sad day when you know that your lecturers are loosing their marbles. Poor Authur Williams seems to be suffering from equation overload. He keeps getting them mixed up and the wrong way around. I think a national fund for Lectuers Loosing their Subject Knowledge.
