Week Eight at CIT

Well it's clear now that we are getting down to business. I have been mentioning it the past few week now, the workload is continuing to rise. During week eight i received some projects that have to be due in a few weeks time.

To the details, the class got their Programming project which is due in for the 20th November. We are to produce a Gym Membership application which has a few tricky bits to it, hopefully i will be able to get mine to work within the requirements. We also got our Networking project which is funnily enough due the same day as the Programming. We must make a network and perform some calculations to ensure it is to the specifications. At the moment i am doing alright with both projects and i am just hoping to get done dusted with them as soon as i can so i can move onto the next item of business.

In Algorithmic i'm sure i mentioned last week i had a assessment Friday gone, i did very well in it i feel, we had to make a world that had a rescue helicopter which had to save four people from thunder storms. I managed to get the thing working within the two hours and there was some ups and downs during that 180 minutes. It was worth 30% so it would be nice to get a good mark earned.

Last weekend was my first free weekend since i started in CIT. Hours were cutting down so it suited me in that regards as i can now give complete focus to the next few weeks. Christmas will provide another chance to clock up the hours again but at the moment it is best to give it a break.

Next Saturday is a big day as it is the first leg of the World Cup Play-Off against France at Croke Park. The most essential thing is not concede and to be honest i would take a 0-0 at this moment. I fancy our chances in Paris and i have been saying its Faith that we are to qualify (it just a that feeling)and i predict that we will get a 1-1 in Paris and that will be enough to get us to South Africa with the away goal. Next time i will be writing the first leg will have passed so lets see how it transpires.

That's it for this week, a lot going on at the moment so i hope everything will go to plan. NOTE: Important date - 20th November!!!

Till week nine.
