Post-intervarsities
Last week’s was a very brief post, on the precipice of the 2013 intervarsity fencing competition. That was a long weekend, particularly because Limerick is so damn far away, and required over 6 hours of bus travel. At least there was WiFi, so there was something stopping me going completely insane. Long bus journeys are […]

Valentine’s, and Limerick
It was Valentine’s day on Thursday past, and though love was in the air, it also carries some less than positive connotations. On February 14th 1929, All Capone’s south side (Chicago, if you weren’t aware) gang murdered 7 north side gang members, execution style, in what became known as the Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre. And […]

City Hospital
Belfast City Hospital and the stairs…oh the stairs This entry has been dragging on and on, and I haven’t had the time to work on it. Last week began with a fencing competition. And there I hoped it would end. I believe it was the second worst I have ever done at a competition; second […]

My week off
Or perhaps it should be called “My week on” because I ended up doing so much stuff. Yes, it was my wonderful self-directed learning week, rather cruelly and dastardly placed the week before my last week of class, forcing me to fully abandon work for Christmas preparations only to have to pick things up a […]

Easter is over, and now a slight haitus
My Easter has been all over the place this year, even though I’ve managed to stay within the confines of this little country. I’ve been back and forward from Belfast for driving lessons, my test, revision, and meeting up with friends (and Northern Ireland Fencing, of course). I’ve also been doing a spot of fence […]

Productive procrastination
Another busy week, which is becoming the norm these days. There’s always so much going on between university, fencing, filmmaking, plotting and fixing computers. And my driving test is now safely behind me, as of Wednesday, and I’ve never felt better. My posts seem to be getting later and later as time goes on, but […]

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, […]

2000 Views! This is very exciting…
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 […]

Filming once again
Things are good, but pretty busy at the moment. Monday night was the camcorder club as usual, but instead of a talk by a member, we had to judge films entered into an inter-club competition (best of clubs). If that was the best all of those camcorder clubs could do, I’d damn well hate to […]
