And with that...

Well that's my HCI group coursework finished and handed in! Actually finished the dissertation yesterday, but was too tired to be bothered to write an entry about it. That's probably because the night before I had gone to bed at 3am, woken up at 6 (with similar amounts of sleep for the past couple of weeks), and then got up to uni at about 8, so I could print and bind my project before the queue.

In case you didn't know, the library is almost totally empty at 8.30 am, and when I got to the printers, I was the only person in that half of the ground floor of the library. Joke. However, by the time I had got halfway through printing, I got that feeling (you know the one) that someone was standing behind me. So I subtly tried to turn around to see, and sure enough, a few feet behind me was a woman, just standing there. She smiled at me, so in my panic, I smiled back, privately thinking 'What the hell?! Why are you standing behind me, you can't be queueing, there are four other printers that aren't being used, you're from munchies, aren't you, you stalk the library by night, cut your victims into little pieces and then feed them through the shredder along with the cardboard to make the burgers and fake chicken'. She stood there for the rest of my first print job, and I started the next one going (we have to hand in two printed copies of our dissertations). Over a hundred pages of printing she stood there for. When it was all done, I hit log off, grabbed my bag and walked away slowly in the hope that I would not anger the knife-weilding maniac. When I got to the library issue desk, I turned to see if she was following me. Turns out she wasn't a psychopath, she was just plain crazy, as she had logged onto the machine I had just been using, and had started to print. Makes you wonder how someone that dumb got to be a member of the university...

The queue in the printing place isn't really that bad at 9.30 either. I got there and was the second person in the queue, which was nice. Still took me an hour though... Eventually handed it in at about 11.30. And then I slept for 12 hours when I got home, which was nice.

Member of my coursework group woke me up at 12 to ask where I was, because we have to hand it in today. Oops. I had a quick shower, popped up to uni, spent a little while finishing off the write-up with him, then we printed it, bound it and just handed it in. Yay!!

So now I am off home to watch some TV. Good afternoon, good evening and good night!
