Hi all,

Well it is Tuesday of week five, a non-teaching week! It is nice having some time off from uni to be able to catch up on my readings and get through some more assignments. Yesterday I completed assignment 1b for EDN113, I felt so relieved once I had put it up on my site and checked that it was all working, just a draft at the moment but it's up there! It took me so long to put it all together. I was really trying to put as much detail in as I possibly could. Just when I thought I had finished I realized I had forgotten to put the part in about creating the actual social event. How silly of me! So now I am waiting for my peer review, and am actually really looking forward to what they say, so that if I need to make changes I can before I submit the assignment.

I have my second math quiz this week which is based on topics three and four. Not feeling as confident in those areas as I was with topics one and two. So I think I might leave the quiz until later in the week, leaving myself time to get some extra study in on those topics! But keeping in mind I am getting my tonsils removed Thursday, which I am really not looking forward to. So it would probably be best if I did the quiz Wednesday....which is tomorrow! :|

So I finally had a look through the recommended readings found on the companion website. I had a look at the world’s worst website and it truly is but gives some great ideas and tips on what NOT to do. Things like putting up horrible flashing pictures and texts that distract the surfers, choosing soft and simple backgrounds, being aware of spelling and grammatical errors, and so much more. Check it out if you are thinking of making your own website or already have one and are not sure on what not to do.

I got my results back for assignment 1a for EDN113 and am very very happy with my mark. I just hope I can keep it up.
I handed in my first assignment for EDN111 on Friday and cannot wait to get my result back for it. That was the assignment of the personal recount. Actually I'll upload it to my site as it is an e-portfolio and I can use it to display my work not only for EDN113 but for my entire course. You are welcome to have a read of it, it will be under the tab EDN111.

That is all from me for now. Have a great study break all!
