Week 9

Talk about stress, the last two days my printer hasn't been working! Finally get the essay printed and realised I have no staples!...Then on the way to Unitec I had to stop for fuel, do you think the pump would work? no! did the staff there do anything useful?! NOO!! I ended up just making it to another petrol station, before running out of fuel, and charging my way through traffic getting to Unitec 15min late. At last I was able to hand in the Maori essay which is such a relief. Now for the next 4 assignments...

The group met in the library after handing in our individual essays. We made a huge hit on our poster, 3 hours worth of bouncing ideas off each other. I think our electric supercharger idea for our hybrid cars is going to be quite interesting. We've arranged to meet this sunday at Justin's house to continue our poster and compile our work for our portfolio.

Week 8

Got my assignment back, 13/20. I thought I'd at least deserve a 15. Apparently a well written assignment but the marker complained was that there was not enough depth to the info. I completely disagree. For one, it's only a 1000 word essay, not a book. I researched fibreglass with epoxy till my eyes bled.
And besides these little scenairos are dealt with differently based on whomever is dealing with it! It's all an opionated assignment so how can marked so low??

Another setback to our assignment today, the Unitec internet is being repaired apparently and so we weren't able to make any progress on our project.

Week 7

This week my group decided we would change subjects. Don't ask me what we are changing to cause they've no idea. They didn't want to do Hybrids as it's "too hard". I really thought this was a pathetic excuse and attitude. I like challenging myself, and as a group I think we could've come up with a good project on this subject.
This weeks homework will be to come up with a new subject, we better hurry up about it cause I'm starting to freak out about all the assignments from other classes that're coming up.

Week 6

Oh no the holidays have finished far too soon for my liking. I spent 10 days in Sydney, it's where all of my extended family live. My reason for returning for a few days was, one cousins engagement party, another cousins 21st, another cousins 30th and my uncles 50th. As you could imagine i timed this holiday to perfection and spent the whole time partying with family. It was so great as I rarely see them.
The assignment has now been handed in and I await the results, I hope I get a decent mark as I really put effort into this assignment.
