Organisation

Well, social last night was a bit of a failure, at this late stage in the term I am going to put it down to the stress of projects that all years are under at this moment, maybe that's a good excuse.

Today has been a day of sorting out odds and ends.. I now have a doctor's appointment for tomorrow about my knee, which has annoyed me every winter solid for about the last two years. Also the group project hand in was technically today, and we did indeed have a CD of all the needed files, however, the one that had been burned to CD was the wrong one, due to some sort of general fuckup with versions, and it also turns out that the design spec wasn't to, err, spec, so that all has to be sorted out by Thursday... Unfortunately, I lost my rag in the meeting today and ended up raising my voice to the design team, not something I usually do very often, but I just about think I had good reason. More stress than I can possibly cope with at the moment.

Also today I had a meeting with Lynda, one of the tutors in the department who I was recommended to talk to about my issues with deciding on a course/route to take. She was very helpful, and after explaining my situation (I had not spoken to her of it before), she said it seemed that I had already made up my mind to stick with the BSc and not to an Industrial Year, in a way that was kind of true, all I really was waiting for was a member of staff to agree with me :)

After all the other things today, I phoned work, and sorted out going to see them all on the 20th for a chat about next summer, and going for a meal afterwards, now I have to email people and get them to come :)

Feeling a bit strange again, probably because I have quite a lot of things to sort out, like a house for next year, now I know I am staying in aber next year, but I suppose more importantly, I have to decide who I am living with.

Going home on the 19th, and looking forward to that, surprisingly, but as a back up I am going to spend a tenner or so on getting a GPRS bundle for the “festive” period.
