Return to College

What to say?
I'm in fourth year. That's something.
Having to repeat 3rd year I never thought I'd get to this point. And It's mine to screw up.
Hopefully not.

Memories of Cyprus

I went on holidays in Cyprus with Dom and Chris.
These are my recollections.

Heat.
Drunken Uno.
Lots of Black Russians.
Dom's inability to say "No".
Chris's inability to stop giggling.
My inability to stop the heat.
Dune buggy!
Water parks need to be closer to Aiya Napa.
So many novelty bars.
So little local food.
Everyone speaks English.
A flight delayed for two days.
Staying in the Nicosia Hilton.
Finally getting home.

Mass

I was early for mass today.
I was there half an hour early and got to experience a semi-forgotten tradition , the rosary.
For those unaware or who have forgotten, the rosary is performed like this:
Firstly the person leading the rosary says the first half of the Hail Mary in their best dalek voice. Next all other people in the room say the second half of the Hail Mary as quickly, quietly and incoherently as possible.
This is repeated 50 times, interspersed with an Our Father and a nice little prayer asking Jesus to save us all from Hell every 10 Hail Marys.
After all this monotony is one Hail Holy Queen, also spoken like a dalek or mumbled depending on who you are.

I don't think I'll be early for mass for a while.

Right, I'd better go study.

Return from another ilness

I've been sick again. Dammit.

However that didn't kill me so I must be stronger.
If I get any stronger it might kill me.

I'm Back

It's been a while.
I'll start again with a new chapter in Big Dave's saga.
He holds a world record.
Ray D'arcy had him on the show last Friday to eat more than 3 bananas in a minute.
He managed to eat 3 and a half, meaning (if the record is all proper), that he shares a world record.
No pictures, yet.

The party went well. Lots of people showed up and a good time was had by all.
Not much I can remember. That's probably a good sign.

In bad news, I failed my exams. So I have to do them again in august. Still 3rd time's the charm.

Need a job. Kinda have one in that I'm giving grinds to Eoin and Jamie (my cousin). And I end up providing tech support to most of my family.

Lost series 4 was on today. I still don't know what's going on but I'm a sucker for a mystery involving time travel and fun characters.

Not much else in the brain right now. Bedtime looms. Maybe it'll be less than 2 months till the next post. Maybe.
