The past few days have been pretty hellish even by my standards (I can put up with nearly anything, but sickness and migraines is just horrible). I gorged out on a big jacket potatoe and a whole tub of cottege cheese (I new I wasn’t feeling so great after dairy, but didn’t think it would do me much harm..) and ended up with my head over a bucket and a nasty migraine all day Wednesday. I really was sick. In the end we called NHS direct (the Uks out of hour doctors services), and got some amazing advice from the nurses.

I’m now working on the 3rd unit (Crossing the boundary: Analogue universe, digital world). I’ve definitely enjoyed it much much more than the previous two units. (The first was just an introduction and was slightly boring, the 2nd a little harder to get my head around as it didn’t appear at first to have much relation to computers, and the 3rd unit I’ve enjoyed much more, especially the binary section).

I’ve always written in journals both online and offline, and it has to be said, I’ve never done it conventionally. I’m told I should keep my entries to a maximum of 250 words, stick on topic, and make my entries as readable as possible, and I just don’t agree! I’m writing my blog for me, because it helps me digest my thoughts and feelings, not because I’m looking for popularity (although that would be a little bit nice..).
