Happy to say, I not only finished my progress report on Thursday night (a full 3.5 days before it was due), I handed it in yesterday morning and everything. I’m still in a state of shock, given that this is the earliest I’ve finished an assignment while at university, if not ever. Sadly the only purpose of my industriousness was to free up some time for me to do that business assignment for Wednesday, but it’s still a nice feeling.

The report ran long, at about 3000 words instead of the recommended 2000, but my supervisor saw the first two-thirds of it and apparently didn’t think it was overly wordy or waffly, so I think it was justified. My major problem was that my appendices totaled about 5 times more pages than the report itself, thus making it impossible for the DCS stapler to force staples through the entirety of my work. I ended up with a strange hybrid beastie where two stapled halves were then stapled together; it seemed to do the trick though.

And then from Wednesday I get to start coding again! Hopefully I can get a lot done over the Christmas holidays because, let’s face it, it’s fun.
