Monday 13th December
In database we had workshop time for the first half of the lesson as we only had a few remaining lessons due to bank holidays and the Christmas vacation which I resumed on doing queries and adjusting some changes to tables and forms. For the second half of the lesson we played a board game called Articulate which we split into 2 teams for, the game was describing a word which could be a person, a country, etc ... I ended up on the loosing team by being narrowly beaten and we did have a slight disadvantage with one less person as one person was left to guess the word instead of two which the other group had.

Tuesday 14th December
On this day we had the choice once again either of doing website design or digital graphics, I chose to do digital graphics as most people weren’t making considerable progress on there websites and this would mean it left me less work to do over Christmas so I could concentrate on other subjects and I felt I could get more done and this I achieved only for the first half of the lesson again as it was the last week before Christmas so we decided to play games. The game chosen was by our lecturer and her choice was Dingbats, the whole class felt that the questions were very difficult and the grand total of questions answered correctly was one and by a bit of luck we and my partner won and were ding bat champions!

Monday 6th December
In Database we carried on in Microsoft Access, filling in any tasks in we had missed in the assignment specification, so I decided too start queries which I didn't get too far into it with not much time remaining in the lesson, but rearranged my tables and also had some problems with the relationships on referential integrity. I also changed the layout of my forms, too include the company name and the colour scheme.

Tuesday 7th December
On Tuesday we had the option to either carry with website design in dreamweaver or Photoshop I was using for the main layout to create a better background in a program I was more used too. The other option was too carry on with digital graphics, comparing hardware which was the option I chose as the assignment was due in on this Friday and got quite far with it completing all the information for 3 tasks and more, which left we the other half to do at home.

Wednesday 8th December
Hardware, we were to start the second assignment in the classroom whilst switching back into the other room with our wires and adding in the hard drive on our computers, which we then formatted with some help from class friends, to make sure I did correctly and learnt from what they did as it was new to me.
