Day 3 - Wednesday

My first timetabled session on a Wednesday is a lecture for Distributed Systems. I overslept and had missed the first half hour of this lecture by the time I got into Uni. Rather than turn up to the lecture late, I went straight to Room 205 to look at the lecture slides online.

I then started on the Enterprise Computing practical. This is scheduled at 12pm and runs until 2pm but I run the Computing Science Society helpdesk in Room 205 every Wednesday from 1pm and so I never make it to this practical. If I have any problems during the practical, I speak to Bruce, the lecturer, after the next Enterprise Computing lecture.

Day 2 - Tuesday

Tuesday is my busiest timetabled day. The first lecture is at 10am, for Distributed Systems. The topic of the lecture was network security. This is an area I am interested in and have done a lot of reading about before the lecture but there were still new concepts being introduced and others that I didn’t understand fully being better explained.

Directly after this was another lecture, this time for CS3518. This lecture continued on yesterday’s lecture talking about Computability and Complexity.

Day 1 - Monday

On a Monday, I do not have any timetabled classes until 1pm. Typically though, I will get in earlier than this to deal with any emails or small jobs that may have appeared over the weekend. Before my first lecture, at around 11:30am, I go to Subway for lunch. There is a group of us that go for this and the reason we aim for half past is because at 12pm, everyone that has left a lecture and is looking for lunch will join the queue at Subway meaning a massive wait.
