Recovery
It has been another busy weekend, not really aided by the fact I was incredibly sleep deprived after Thursday night. I said I would have an update, but there wasn’t anything happening at the time after the first one on Friday morning, but I can summarise things now after the experience. It went pretty well,…

Sleeping Rough
The title really says it all. Along with some friends, I’m sleeping rough in front of Belfast city hall, all in aid of raising homelessness awareness. It’s organised by Homed Belfast, and queen’s students are out in droves to support the cause. Let me tell you, it is pretty damn cold out here, and it…

Rediscovery
I love rediscovering Belfast. Day in, day out, I walk the same roads. The same routes. To get to the same destination. Thursday was a different day, as I had some free time after class for a change. My first destination, along with two friends from my class, was the GAME store in Donegal Square.…

The desk
For the first time in a number of months, I’m back at my own black glass desk, using the computer once left here by my brother a number of years ago. Once again, I’m typing on my IBM Model M keyboard, the classic clicky beast. Unfortunately I haven’t been getting as much use out of…

I demand satisfaction!
Yes, I am now equipped to duel with my new rapier! It’s strange, but I always imagine swords as elegant, light weapons, whereas the reality is that they are heavy monsters. Even the rapier, one of the lightest swords, is hefty enough. I can’t imagine having to fence with it for any amount of time.…

This is it! 2000 views! Thank you to my readers, if there are any of you out there, this is very exciting news. I also have fencing news to share, from the Student Individuals. I came third! It’s the first time I’ve actually made it through the Direct Elimination matches, and I also won all…

What a week!
I’m back home, and completely exhausted. This week has been a total write-off in terms of work, as I started off tired from fencing and enjoying myself all weekend, then I had the 2nd year medicine formal on Wednesday night to ensure I would be wrecked for remainder. Now add to that my new cold/whatever…

Apologies
I had intended to post something on Friday, but things were pretty hectic as I was getting ready to head to Dublin for the fencing intervarsities. I don’t have much time to write at the moment, but everything went well, and we won against six universities and lost against three which was pretty good overall.…

Monies…give me your monies please
Money. It’s not the be all and end all, or the route to happiness, but it certainly is one less burden if you don’t have to worry about it. And on that note it would be helpful if I was actually making some to offset all my erractic expenditures, so here’s a brief plug. As…

Despite what you may believe…It’s still Friday
Hello again, for the second time today. Thankfully I survived the train, and I’m hear to bring you my news, as I watch the engadget show on my media centre (which remains nameless, and is still working well). The week has been busy as usual, but still pretty good. Firefly viewing resumed, and we almost…
