I've been getting on today. My 9am lecture meant I had to drag myself out of bed for a revision session on the ins and outs of SME business analysis. Not too bad really in the end, and it finished 50 minutes earlier than expected. It also reassured me that my thinking about the exam next week was right; just because last year's past papers look like a bitch, doesn't mean this year's paper is going to be a bitch. Well, fingers crossed.

I've been soaking up the finer points of CSS wireframe prototyping, XHTML semantic markup and various other bits and pieces that could only interest a web developer. Good to stay on top of it though, and podcasts are so much easier to digest than browsing the interweb and stumbling across important concepts you should be spending more time learning about. One day I might even have the time to use some of this knowledge.

While aurally I was being entertained by some highbrow Australian web conference, the rest of my body was concentrating on knocking out some sketches and trying to draw together as much of the project as I could stomach. Unfortunately I haven't got to flat out yet, but if anyone wants to witness me in total panic, come over at around 12pm on Monday evening.

I drew up a logo for the Industrial Design Degree Show, half-heartedly knowing that the rest of my work is likely to obstruct any chance of me getting a design in on time for the deadline - hand in day. I'm not so bothered about it this year (more pressing issues at hand), but I love this stuff more than the course itself, so why not. Oh yeh, my degree, that's why.

I had to get the tube in the front wheel of my bike fixed yesterday, and once again I will plug Cycletrax up by McDonalds on the Ashby Road, Loughborough for their incredibly fast service and that my fiver not only replaced the tube, installed it, but I also got my gears tweaked for free. Credit where it's due. I suppose that also means I need to point out it was Devito who turned up on my bike 'reporting' the puncture. Strangely enough he had to to put his bike in at exactly the same time for exactly the same problem. Coincidence? I think not. Charnwood Borough must have acquired some new 'sharper' roads for Christmas (or Devito has found an alternative route to campus through a carpet tack factory).

The Tours4 brochures also showed up. Very pleased, partially because they turned out well, partially because I can't afford to be worrying about print jobs at this point in my university career. Come on MDP1 if you think you're hard enough...
