Visit
Rob’s coming to visit today, which means I’ve got to head out to Shannon Airport in about half an hour to pick him up. I’m getting very excited about seeing him – he’ll be the first visitor to my flat, and apparently he’s loaded up his suitcase with goodies for me from home! I’m also […]

Money!!!
I GOT PAID!!!!! This is exciting ‘cos it didn’t happen last month, and despite an advance from the university, money’s been getting a little… tight. What to spend it on *rubbing hands together with glee* (9 days to internet, tv and phone)

In England for a bit
Flew home on Friday, courtesy of RyanAir from Shannon Airport. Amazingly, I managed to get a lot of the jobs that I somehow couldn’t find time for earlier in the week done in the hour and a half between my waking up, and having to start the drive to Shannon! I then got poorly sick […]

Yet more films
My viewing choice for this week has been Star Wars IV V and VI Guys and Dolls Truly, Madly, Deeply Otherwise I’ve been sorting out printing the final, final version of my thesis for binding. This may seem like a simple job, but I’ve spent the entire week on it so far, and it’s still […]

Films
Due to not yet having the TV or internet connected, and there being a very good offer on DVD rental at the place I joined, I’ve been working my way through the films since I moved here. So far I’ve watched… Tarzan – not bad for when I fancy a cartoon Pleasantville – which I […]
