Halfway There Already (Week 5)

Having a nice relaxing day off after another busy week at uni. My last post was during week 0 and thanks to my uncertainty on posting I have managed to neglect my blog. I’m feeling slightly less stressed now thanks to the following week being a lab/reading week, allowing time to concentrate on practical work and ensure an understanding of the first half of course modules.

Current to-do list:
Verilog assignment
Professional Issues essay plan
OS practical reading and first part
Circuit Theory assignment
Signals and Systems assignment
PSPICE assignment
Individual practical reading

It’s funny how fast time passes when you’re gainfully employed as opposed to being depressed and moping about all the time. I think I’m happier because I have resolved many of the problems I was referring to in the 2005-07-17 post. In another 5-6 weeks we’ll be having electrical engineering exams and then the first semester will be over, both an impressive and scary concept.

I’ve altered my course slightly to avoid doing the SDP and took the individual practical and computer security modules instead. It overloads the first semester but in the long run it should be much less stressful than carrying out the SDP. I am now taking the following modules:

1st Semester (70 credits):
CS-SE Individual Practical
Operating Systems
Professional Issues
Electronic Engineering 3
Microelectronics 3

2nd Semester (50 credits):
Communication Engineering
Compiling Techniques
Computer Architecture
Computer Security
