    Though it's ages since I've been in school, and this is only my first year in DIT, the Christmas/Exams period has seemed very long. In total it'll be 6 weeks off, with only 8 hours of exams in there. Now, I'm not complaining (!) but I felt like I was just getting into the swing of things (routine, timetable, studying, workload...) right when the semester ended. Ah well, I guess this is the way really? Summer will be here before I know it!

    I know rolling out of bed at 3 in the day will be really handy when I'm back to 7am starts next week.

    I think I overdosed on pancakes on Tuesday tbh. I made myself a few in work then another load when I got home. So worth it.

    It's the only day of the year it's acceptable to eat so many so I decided to take advantage of that :P

    I was up early on Tuesday, so Mammy Famous was in bed, while I made myself pancakes for my lovely packed lunch. Best thing I've ever done at 5.45 in the morning, jelousy all around the table in the SU.

    one day? mine is the next week and as for interesting plans... hmm... somehow we have one of our most important handups of the year during it... this does however leave room for large quantities of alcohol following it...
    other than that getting out of dublin, spent most of the day driving around the country today, around the middle of nowhere but it was great!

    Mine isn't for another two weeks!

    Damn College of Business.

    I'm actually in the process of being promoted and transferred to a newly opening branch in work at the moment, and my first week in the new place will be during reading week, so I imagine I will be involved in trying to rectify some issue the builders didn't notice/training staff/getting very little sleep that week!

    Funny thing is I actually can't wait for it!

    Silver Bullet. You get your choice of black/pinto beans (Pinto are the best :P )then you get rice, mince, salsa number 1-4 (1 being the mildest, 4 being the hottest), sour cream and then whatever else you want. It's pretty fantastic!
