Ardscoil Ris

Study for repeats. (Not a joke)

the-island-man

On placement just up the road from the college till september!
Bring on final year can't wait to leave nuig, seeing the same surroundings gets boring after a while!! and that new sports center "for students" is a joke. Whoever gave the place to a shower of c***s like kingfisher would want to bet!

Spanglished

Spending the summer in France, I'm studying French and Spanish and am heading on Erasmus to Spain so NUIG French department said I have to spend at least ten weeks in France.
Job situation is dire here, so it looks like I'll be doing a summer course!

Unfortunately all I could manage to get was work experience for a week, and since I wasn't insured by the company I couldn't legally do anything so I just stood there in the labs watching tests get done.

Hopefully though, shoe in the door, sets my up for full placement next summer.;)

I don't do Biotechnology myself, I'm studying Chemistry from which Biotechnology comes, but I do know some people studying it and are quite happy with it.

Started off in Berlin! Went on to Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Zagreb, Split and the Zadar. Last 3 are in Croatia, Great craic. Beer is 1, maybe 2 quid everywhere ya go, cept vienna, bout 3 or 4. Really gotta ask yourself why we live in Ireland where a beer is €4 and its not even as high quality as ya get over there!:)

This summer was to be my first in Ireland since I started uni... Sent out about 80 CV's and zero job and I am a 1.1 student in 3rd Chem, even dunnes wouldn't accept me :(...... So instead I spent most of the summer travelling in New Zealand and came home for a while... Got the exams results so 4th yr is guranteed so heading away again soon after I clock up a few hours working in the local to pay uni fees and stuff in general for uni.
