    Early Childhood Studies, final leg of it. So Q+2 has been my home for the last two years. Very rarely have to wander from here to get what I need.

    Ah class, I'm doing PE, but half the PE books are on Q+1 (anatomy and exercise prescription) and Q+3 (sports psychology!) and then the education books on Q+2, Bill Rogers is a god!

    Nice and quiet in Q+2, well quiet enough

    On the other hand, Q+3 is mobbed, full up. Probably all students who didn't do a tap during R&G week trying to catch up. :pac:

    Just had an exam there. Went alright.
    Dropping in an essay today.
    Almost finished tying up Russian History essay.
    Have to write out three essay plans on the causes of WW1 and I'll get 1% towards the end of year module mark.

    Not too shabby.

    Another 10 per cent of the module secured I think! :D

    Can't make either game:(

    Yeah, probably, but hopefully O Connor has the lads in good shape after the bit of a break!

    UCC 1-10 WIT 0-18.

    WIT won well, by at least 4-5 points. I didn't have a programme and turned ten minutes late, so excuse any mistakes.

    UCC were extremely mediocre. Full back line got cleaned out, particularly the two Conors, center back line and midfield were solid enough but the center forward line got destroyed. Rob White got one nice point but his hands are too slow at this level, his man had the measure of him and for such a big chap he won very little in the air. Likewise, Eoghan Murphy was poor at full-forward, missed a few good chances from play and the dead ball. Not sure who the two corner forwards were (presume Moylan was one of them) both poor and both taken off by the end.

    Luke O'Farrell, Darach Honan and Jon Halbert didn't start. Halbert came on at half time and played some nice ball in midfield, Luke came on with 20 to go and got two sublime points, was UCC's best forward overall. Honan was very poor, looked well off the pace.

    For WIT the two corner forwards were excellent, their number 13 was MOTM for me, got 3-4 lovely points from play and destroyed Conor O'Driscoll. Fintan O'Leary did his usual, good in fits but generally not getting into the game enough. WIT center back line was absolutely dominant.

    Who is selecting the UCC team? Whomever it is, he should be shot. CIT lost as well.

    I really dont see the big thing with pancakes..........they taste like shít.

    Although on the plus side it was a beautiful day today.

    I just checked my Summer exam timetable, I've got just 6 exams, all of which are 90 minutes, bar one German exam which is 180 minutes (disaster!).

    Not a bad timetable though, better than last years one. Start on May 6th and finish on the 24th. :)

    I have about six too. All bar my History Core module are 90 minutes. History is 3 hours.

    Start on the 11th, finish on the 27th. Four exams are clumped around a week though.

    If you're actually serious, I think that's a pretty sh*t post considering that samf is on Boards and posts on the UCC forum. :)

    Of course I'm serious, if I wanted to make up something then I think I could come up with something that is actually bordering on funny.

    We got told last night that our department will be moving from Sheares Street to where the Philosophy Department are on the Western Road, a stones throw from the Mardyke. Only thing is that there is a lovely little shop down on Sheares street, Spillanes, that we have kept in business - anytime we had a class in Sheares House, there was at least five or six bags of jellys from Spillanes on the table :D

    Happy about the move though, makes it much easier for us!

    I've been told not to vote for Keith, apparently he's not the nicest guy strolling around.

    Heard that from many a person meself. In fairness to the guy though, he seems to have more of a clue what he's on about than anyone else running. And many's the dickhead has been a good president. Like whatsisname. Hitler. I don't even care though, I'm too cool to vote :cool:
