I had a great day. My exam went much better than expected, the best so far in fact. Then I'd my interview for my summer job, which was over in less than ten minutes. My dad helped me get the interview, so I'm nearly certain I'm in And I don't have another exam til Tuesday!

My exam today went well, and I got the Halo triple pack in work today for pretty cheap... so I'm off to waste some Covenant

Ended my dry spell of not going to the cinema, cuz of stupid exams, yeaterday and I'm going again today, to see Brick which looks great. The only problem is I think the cinema staff recognise me now as the loner student, gonna have to get a girlfriend/escort for a while or I'm gonna run the risk of getting that 'here alone again look'.

Really sad

It's the inevitable internet extension of talking to myself, it's so difficult to find someone who's both a great listener and has so many interesting things to say. It's been quite a breakthrough actually.

Nah, who cares? I've done it, and always done the eating out by myself. Not in proper restaurants mind you, but cafes and such. My favourite thing after buying a new book is to go to a cafe by myself, get a large latte and read a couple of chapters. If the book's good, I'll get a second latte. My sister and I used to go book-buying sprees in Charlie Bryne's in Galway, then go for coffee and browse the purchases. Waitresses must have thought we were cracked, there'd be hardly a word out of either of us; we were usually too distracted by a book to talk to each other!

Woo-hoo! Going to town for my lunch, to avoid nasty ucd food.

Yea I do those things too, and thoroughly enjoy them but in the cinema I've an unlimited card and often go three or four times a week, the staff could be forgiven for judging me as sad and lonely:)

Comfy couches in Kylemore,a hot choclate,a smarties dotty cookie,a good read and no one else around.....now that is my idea of heaven!

Edit: And maybe Prad Pittt massaging my shoulders

Ah the cinema is joyous - just haven't had the time to go in ages. Someday I tells ya I shall go again.

I'm also now going to go on a book shopping spree thanks to elmyra - I thank you sincerely - i'm dying for a good read that isn't a text book. Mmm that and a gloria jeans oreo chiller although they've closed down on clarendon street - an absolute travisty.

I just had a waffle sandwich for lunch, it was lovely, go my brilliant thought structure thing this morning - inspired.

FYI Jordans biography doesn't count as a good read, it doesn't even count as good toilet paper, it may be good tinder!

If you're in Galway, Charlie Bryne's bookshop is THE best place for a spree ... even the Irish Times said so! It's my absolute favourite bookshop

Am in a bad mood, so no woohoo ... though thinking of Charlies's has made me smile briefly

Hooray for UGC unlimited cards! (please note, ugc, not evil cineworld). Humbert, I'd also go three or four times a week but with these bastard exams I haven't been to anything in two weeks. Having withdrawl symptons at the moment. No problem with going on my own either, but only when it is quite so usually early afternoon on a weekday (one of the perks of only having 10 hours of lectures a week!) If I'm going in the evening I'd always look to draft someone in as an escort!

Ha, thats not weird, as a fellow book buying whore I often sit down in cafes in town and get a few chapters down, I even talk to the other dudes who do it as well, as were always there Saturday afternoons or so with our little bargain basement books and Chapters splurges

€331- black ipod with 'phones, usb and ipod sleeve. Ya don't get a charger anymore you have do it off the laptop/computer with the usb.

vote4pedro

I got one of those recently, but decided to save €30 by doing it online and getting a student discount of 10%. They're online check of ensuring you are a student and not just someone deciding to they want 10& off? Asking you to fill in the name of a college you attend! Sorry elmyra, maybe I shouldn't be saying this after you've just bought one for 330! Still, they're a bargain at either price, I love mine and at 4000 songs I still have loads of room left on it

elmyra

Hmmm.....someone say something? *distracted by shiny colour screen*

Nah, I don't mind, glad to have it....and only 4gb out of 30 used....it's gonna be a fun summer!

Whoo hoo!!

I'd love a new iPod too, I've only got a 4GB 1st generation mini (the crap battery life one), and it's nearly 2 years old. But I'm saving for a new laptop *curses Apple for the extreme shininess of their products, and my pathetically small iBook hard drive*, so unless my iPod breaks it's gonna be a while before I get a new one.
Though just the thought of the 15" Macbook Pro I'm planning on getting at the start of 3rd year is making me happy - it's going to make working 7 days a week for the summer worthwhile.

Red Alert

instead of studying, I finally got my Dell D600 to hibernate and sleep when running Linux, and I figured out how to trigger it off the lid too!

I'm sitting in McDonalds with a yorkie mcflurry and internet connection.
All is good in the world:)

I've another woohoo to add just so I stay on topic [unlike some other people;) ]
I got up to Dublin in a taxi courtesy of Irish Rail because they didnt have enough carraiges so when the train got to Carlow there wasnt even standing room so they provided buses and taxis free!! I hadnt even bought my ticket at that stage so I got up for free in total luxury!! Dont ya just love Ireland!




EDIT, the taxi got to the station before the train:D
