    i'm doing classical only, i don't want to learn anything contemporary and definitely not jazz :D

    Different strokes as they say :) I was in the choir in school for years too, use to compete a lot and I really enjoyed that aspect of it but I prefer singing more rock/folk/jazzy stuff myself :)

    My MS has become symptomatic again so I see a lot of relaxing ahead of me until it lifts.

    You might find Dr Terry Wahls helpful, there's info on nutrition that can help with the symptoms. There's loads of videos of her giving talks and stuff on youtube.

    Had this conversation with my OH earlier when he called me on Skype:

    Me: I'll give you €100 if you can guess what I was just googling.

    Him: Is it cakes?

    Me: Ah shiite.

    Currently derping about on Amazon,adding things to my wishlist.
    If only I had an o2 money card- I'd buy all the thing I need to create my ultimate zombie survival kit.
    I take it way too seriously sometimes... >_>

    get a money card then, they're only a fiver. once my visa card is paid off I'm getting rid of it, will just get a prepaid one instead.

    im all over the place lately:mad:,my best freind is leaveing for austraila in a few days:mad:....im devasted to tell the truth,were haveing our last chinise tonight and i dont know whats going on my mind is all over the place.

    its very hard to have real freinds in life ..very hard to just get someone that you just get on so well with.someone that never asks for anything or expects anything..i was lucky in the five years i know her all we did was make sure each other had someone to talk to without the fear of been laughed at or been let to fight our own issuses alone:)its great to have someone to reley on and for that i know our freindship will never die or fizzle out.

    but how to you say goodbye to someone that you really care about i was never in this position and its all new to me.
    dont get me wrong im excited for her ,happy thats shes going to see the world,meet new people and all that.

    ohhh man...........life is hard.audi.:(

    If I can rustle up a fiver, I'll be straight down to my local O2 shop. :) Been ages since I last bought anything online and I miss the excitement of getting a package in the mail.
    Currently, I'm looking at utility belts, survival kits and wind up radios. Also, military grade glowsticks for when the power goes out. Roll on December 23rd. I'll be well prepared for the impending apocolypse!

    I went to dunnes to buy celery. Got distracted by (Galway reference) Gino's (an Italian gelato bar). Just had the MOST amazing icecream, it was called cookies. Nom nom. Now I feel ill as I inhaled it!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Regional South Moderators Posts: 15,247 Mod ✭✭✭✭rebel girl 15


    Congrats sarahbro

    Hope you are okay PB

    Home from the funeral a couple of hours ago, fantastic send off for her, and in fairness, it was so well organised. The church was packed, I wasn't inside at all, ended up with our gang outside, and there was a huge crowd outside as well as inside. Her poor family :( its going to be so hard for them, after burying the youngest in the family. I don't know if I believe in everything for a reason, and it was her time, and all those other kind of sentiments. What kind of higher power takes a 23 year old girl, coming into the prime of her life and creates so much heartache for the people left behind? Her poor sister had to travel half the world to get back, poor girl getting that phone call. If that truck was one second later, she'd be alive today. The slimmest of margins. Why is the biggest question going around in my head atm - gonna have to try and get my head straight and start onto the college work due, I'd know she wouldn't want me throwing away a years worth of work for nothing.

    Hey Rebel Girl!

    hope you are ok! Its a terrible thing to see such a young life being taken from the world
    over the past few years i have seen too many people in the prime of their life being taken away and its a horrible thing to see and experience

    ill be thinking of you xxxx

    Rebel girl - talk to your lecturers, and let them know what's been going on.

    Hopefully it won't affect your exam performance, but if it does, it's better for your lecturers to know in advance so that they can take it into consideration when marking your papers - rather than getting the results, and then going back and trying to appeal.

    I'm speaking from experience here, unfortunately. Trust me, it's better to just let them know now, at the time.

    I'm very sorry for your loss, and you're right. Things don't always happen for a reason, and stuff that happens just sucks sometimes. :( All you can really do is to make the most of the time that you get.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,016 ✭✭✭lilmissprincess


    Have to study. Mood is, however, in a black hole which I'm thinking can only be gotten rid of with a large proper spoony cuddle and I can't get one of those :(:(

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,185 ✭✭✭tatabubbly


    Rebel girl, so so sorry to hear that, take care of yourself!

    Finally managed to pay off a huge bill which was hanging over my head, delighted with myself however now I have very little money for the month ahead!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,768 ✭✭✭almostnever


    Huge hugs for Pixiebean and Rebel girl! xx

    I'm giving up on studying in earnest for tonight. Going to have a shower and I'll read an article while drying/straightening my hair but apart from that I'm pretty much done. Feeling horribly underprepared but I always get a delicious sense of calm/indifference about exams the night before/day of which serves me well. :)

    A huge +1 to this. My neighbour went missing after a night out and was found drowned in the quays in Galway. I was in the middle of my 1st semester exams for my final year. I had a chat to my year head (well, I broke into tears and choked out what happened) and he had words with some of my lecturers. I missed one exam and stupidly sat one after I got the news and failed but they took it all into account. Make sure they know, if even for the support

    I've gotten an extension on my two files that were due in tomorrow till Thursday, and only have one exam which isn't till the 10th of May. I'll get through it alright thanks.

    Just read back over my post - sorry for the complete rant about the whole thing. Gonna try and put my head to work for a while, needs to be done! Thanks for all the support, I'll be okay in a while.

    Ah do not be sorry for needing to get it out. I've found that when you have a bereavement like that, it's easier to talk about it to people who are completely removed from the situation

    I haven't been there yet but I hear it's amazing. There were these people walking down the street eating some today and they were actually making "nom" noises.

    Rebel, I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself. And don't feel like that was a rant, it wasn't. It's normal to hear someone say "oh, everything happens for a reason" and to just wonder how the hell that could be. Feel free to post anything you want in here if it helps and you maybe can't say it in real life.

    It is mega nom! And I don't use that phrase lightly. I was smiling into my cup of ice cream while walking down Shop St on my own. Looked a tad crazy I imagine

    I really want some ice-cream but I'm already in my pj's.

    I've tried so many of them so far. The ferreo rocher one is delish. The lemon sorbet is fab too. Make sure and try all the ice cream in Italy (ya know, for research purposes)

    I was driving with the OH in the lashing of rain today when we saw this tiny tiny dog wandering on and off the road. I pulled in and the OH went over to the dog- queue dog hiding terrified under the car. I turned off the engine and he managed to talk the dog out and pick him up. I had to drive on back to the house because our dog was already in the car so he walked 15minutes in the rain back to the house with the dog shivering in his arms.
    Got the doggy into the house and tried to get him towelled off and some food into him. As soon as he started eating he began choking! His coller was so tight he couldn't swollow and could barely breath :eek: We couldn't even pull it to undo the latch so we had to cut it off.
    Poor thing is nothing but bones, starving and completely malnourished. He was inhaling the food we gave him. Bringing him to the vets tomorrow to get him checked out.

    The doggy is staying with the OH tonight til we find out what the story is with him from the vet
