LeixlipRed

Finishing my PhD by this time next year is my main ambition while trying to juggle helping out with all the political related society stuff I can shove into my packed schedule. If anyone wants to join the ULA's NUIM branch that I haven't started up yet and would like to start for me send me a pm :P

Also hoping I get the grant this year so I don't have to teach first years no more, their hatred of maths makes me sad
