"Come Out, Neville!"

Got the audiobook for I Am Legend, which I think I will sit and listen to over the next week, because I think I'll actually get through it without giving up after chapter 10. I'm not much of a book reader to be honest, I think that I need to be in that right frame of mind to read them sometimes, but I pretty much always have a headset on when I'm sat at a computer... so it's much, much easier to sit here and listen to them.

Anyway, today's another big day, probably one of the last ones that really determines anything at Uni. I think it's funny that the file I put up yesterday, was infact a really beta version of what I eventually produced. There was a massive scramble on the last day because I realized a huge mistake I had made. The construction of the magazine, the pages in particular, were not the right ammount. I realized after I was counting the pages, and I had to fix it by quickly producing a contents page and back cover. So now I realize that the amount of pages in a magazine depend on the 4x table. (4, 8 ,12 16)

Simple shit really, but again it's all part of the learning process. Also found an interesting problem with communication over the weekend when I tried to get my work printed out. I told the man at the counter that I needed to print 5 magazines, and he didn't know how it was constructed at all. Foolishness! Nevermind though, it happens, and usually at the worse time :D

Lots of stuff to do today, hopefully will go a lot more swimmingly than Friday. Still, I looked back and thought I was pretty lucky. If things didnt go the way as I had anticipated, then it wouldn't have worked out in my favour.
