That number includes lectures and scheduled workshop / lab sessions. There is a project, but I haven't done anything on it so far, and have no real plans to start until March... As for independent / outside lecture study, others do it, but I mostly sit with them, drink tea, do sudoku, and give them a hand with theirs if they need it. :)

Total - 15-20 hours at a push. This is a great big piece of piss. What I remember from work, on the other hand, was having to be out of bed and in work, reasonably presentable, <not still pissed from last night>, at the allotted time (fortunately 10am). Then actually functioning and talking to people reasonably for the next 9 hours (included lunch break) and being able to think through various tasks (like not blowing the factory up).


after the break i can have up to 21 hours of class to attend to. spread over 5 days. and most weeks it'll probably come down to 17 or 19 hours.
You're so vain, you probably think this sig is about you

Back again briefly.

My brother is getting married in two days, plus a few other things I've got going, so it's been busy.

We asked the same question.

He's fiance is a school teacher, so if they wanted a wedding with any type of honeymoon they needed to either get married over the Christmas break, or wait until summer. They opted for Christmas since it was sooner.

For some reason, I have always thought that PC games would replace console games.

This is fantastic. I avoid getting sick all year, even avoiding all the bugs going 'round, and WHAM; First day of the Christmas holidays I'm in bed sick with a cold. Thank God I can reach the computer from my bed.

For me to know which Alan you're talking about doesn't have anything to do with my obvious awesomeness.
It's just that you talk about it/him way too much.
