DE100 Week one!

Visible to anyone in the world

Well I have completed everything for week one and even had a sneaky peek at next weeks work and have to say had a giggle at the Army Alpha and Beta testing as I remember doing very similar tests when I was joining the RAF (they determined what trades you could go into and the only two I wasn't suitable for was Fire Section and RAF Regiment - But that was because of my gender! Incidentally the first two RAF Regiment female officers are now operational! well done ladies!)

Found getting stuck into the text book quite hard, but once I started I found it not too bad.  I have some written notes but one thing I noted from SDK100 is that on days when my manual dexterity is poor my writing isn't very clear so I am trying to use OneNote to keep notes and for the activities so I can at least go back and reference my work if I need to.

Hoping my DSA assessment is sorted soon as I am really struggling with my chair and desk setup.  Although I am taking regular breaks and pacing I am noticing pain flare-ups whenever I have been studying.  The joy os chronic pain!

The first of out online lectures start this week and its about adobe connect.  Although we used it in SDK100 I am still going to attend as there may be additional functionality they wish to use during this course.

Dreading trying to get studying done next week when the schools are off but i will just need to factor in the time.  Not to mention I am getting my flu vaccine next week and it usually knocks me for six!

One big plus is my Dummy TMA has been submitted so hopefully my Tutor will be happy with it.

Well its now 03:35 and I've been at this since midnight so time to top up the pain killers and try for sleep as I have volunteering tomorrow morning with the pain team.
