All this talk of study reminds me of stuff that I should be doing.....this weekend I'll go at it properly.

I took the grown up decision to buy a book case the other day, I've yet to assemble it properly but it'll spur me on to finish book so I can put them neatly away in their new home!!

I'm aware of how sad that sounds but I don't care!! :pac:

I've got a bookcase. Now have to get another one to put books in since my current one just has dvds and games in it.

Hello everyone. How're things? Hope everyone's enjoying the weather?

I've spent the last three lovely sunny days stuck in the function room of Dromoland Castle. Absolutely stunning place to wander around in this weather. Also I now know occupational first aid. Let's hope I never need to use it! :P

Paid the first instalment of my course a few days ago. Felt bad watching my bank account getting ravaged like that. And it's going to get assaulted again at the start of October for instalment 2...

I could reply to some of the goings on here, but frankly there's just too much going on. I think I'll just watch the conversation from the side and jump in at the next lull. :pac:

This is bad, I am considering putting some journal articles and the outline of my lectures in pdf onto my kindle so I can read them in bed/on the beach. I need a slap!

*slap*

Exciting. Wish I was going to be there.

I wish you were going to be there too!! A lot more to do but it is exciting. I also need to train more, not really ready for 140km

I'm a thumping headache

I don't see anything wrong here. Surely getting yourself more familiar with the outline of your lectures is a good thing, no?

Ah nice one!! That sounds so cool! When are off anyway?

Flying out on the 21st of November. It's a 4 week course, costing a shocking amount of money, with no guarantee of a job afterwards. :eek:

Pem, I'm not sure what to say. I don't think I could do 140km on my bike, and that has an engine! :pac:

Dunno, if I'm honest. When I go my visa will be valid for a year, so as it stands I'm planning to spend the full 12 months over. If I got offered a decent job and a sponsorship to stay in the country I wouldn't exactly be heart-broken.

Morning all

Best of luck Kev!

Castor it's not that bad

Maaaaarnin!

Got woken up this morning by some sort of kamikaze fly that attacked me. It buzzed in my ear so I pulled the duvet over my head, went back to sleep and then it buzzed in my ear again!

Got away too, it's whereabouts are currently unknown. :pac:

You are clearly still asleep :P
