Last week saw me in Bristol doing a course on Financial Management (also known as “Accounting for non-accountants”) which was interesting – but intensive! It should have been a five day course, but because of the bank holiday, five days was crammed into four – with an exam at the end. However, I stayed in a very nice hotel in the centre of Bristol – and managed top get some of my PGCert coursework 2 done. Still, it wasn’t all work, and on the last night a few of us met up for a drink and a meal – I managed more beer than I have in a long time, and whe I arrived home and jumped on the scales, I had broken the 10st barrier! I called in at Cranfield on my way home to deliver the written copies of the first coursework, and return some library books.<\/p>\n
And this weekend has seen me continue to work on coursework 2! This is a practical, and my head is reeling with hexadecimal (base 16) conversions, and hard disk address translations – but I think I have got about 90% straight in my head, so I just need to write it up. This is relatively easy, and should only take a couple of pages, as the main body of the work is tabular and a map of a hard disk layout. The deadline is next Sunday (for the e mail copy).<\/p>\n
Still, I had a welcome break when Sue and Mark (fellow blogmaster) came over for dinner on Saturday night!<\/p>\n
This week sees the start of the ECP – while I was away the next twelve months appointments arrived. Fiirst one is on Tuesday and Wednesday (not Monday and Tuesday as I first thought), followed by the haematology department on Thursday. That really leaves Friday as the coursework deadline, as I am off to Worcester to carry out some more training with LeukaemiaCare and I need to get it all completed before I go! And I am expecting coursework 3 (the last for this module) sometime next week!<\/p>\n
