Tadaaah!

Well Well Well  , never thought we'd get here Blog, but its our last session toghether...I feel so lonely, who else is gonna listen patiently to my complaints about Chemistry , studying etc . Fair enough , you never really gave me any feedback or advice, but that was always ok for some reason, your reassuring silences left me free to look deep inside myself and come up with my own solutions to my problems , THANK YOU  ! ....ee hee just kidding :)

On a serious note, This is the last blog entry ! At first I really must say I was super uncomfortable with the whole situation of writing blogs in the public domain, but now there not so bad....gone for ever are the moments midweek , usually on a Wednesday for some reason, when i Think to myself " **** i have to write  a ******* blog !! " But  recently its more like " yaaay i can write about this in my blog !

Exams started on Friday, needless to say they were disastrous ! I got so nervous about my Cell Biology practical that I totally messed up and my results were less than perfect . Must do better in the theory side of things so that hopefully i come out with at least a pass! Gone are the days when I strived for 90's in every test I do . These days I'm proud of myself if I even get a marginal pass, just goes to show how tough times really change your priorities ! The horrible start to the day was balanced out by the fact that C.I.T closed early on friday due to the freezing weather conditions. Ironically, we were finished at one o clock already so it make no difference to us whatsover ...but I hope it happens in the future anyways, perhaps for one of our assesments maybe ?? ....In reality , the weather is after getting milder since last week so gone is all the winter wonderland scenes we had , walking to college every morning was beautiful! But SUPER DANGEROUS! Had a few close calls a few times!

This is a lil snap I took of Fitzgerlads park as I passed by on the way to U.C.C , had to admit , I was DYING to get inide and play like a child , stupid maturity holding me back :(

So for now , It's goodbye ! Who knows, after this first blog I might dive deeper into the world of blogs , vlogs etc ! Well , maybe not , but it certainly was an experience , ill never forget..GOODBYE!!

last blog entry!

Well its over, the internet will no longer be made put up with my little ranted!
It's been good while it lasted , but all great things must come to an end!

Friday marked the 1st day of our end of semester exams and i must say i did not start on a high! Although the theory went well for some reason unknown to myself the actual practical was disastrous!! My positive control for glucose was muddy orange for crying out loud!!! I have no idea what happened! safe to say i'll be relying on the other exams to bring up my average for the module!!

I should be studying right now but all i can think about is how im getting my christmas tree later :D :D :D Cannot wait!!

Also, i'm really paranoid about driving to work later, and especially driving home! the roads are like ice rinks! i mean i skidded 4 times in about 2 minutes last night on my way home from work, haven't been out since!
Also, i can just imagine myself missing some of my exams because of the weather! i really hope there are repeats because i do not want to fail any modules!!!!! Its crazy!

Anyway, this is goodbye

Last blog entry!

 I neva thought i'd see the day when i would be writing the last ever blog for CMOD wooooo(jus jokin)! At the beginning, i have to say i hated writing these blogs but they get really easy to do when you get used to them!
  Next week is full of exams aaaaaaaaaaah. Dreading them now especially cell biology because theres so much to do. Had the cell biology practical Friday, managed to spill everything but other than that it was ok i think! We had to test samples for proteins, fats, starch and reducing sugars.....



  Christmas holidays Thursday woo cant wait! CIT closed at one o clock on friday....... the one time we are actually finished before then.  I cant belive I've been in college only 3 months... so used to college now it feels longer! Have to say I'm loving the course wasnt sure about it at the beginning especially with all the maths and Physics which I still cant do. Cant wait for human biology to start then it will actually feel like wer doing a biology related course!

K I'm gonna go now and actually do something for these exams byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! KatexX



Decided to take a quick break from studying to have an old moan really. It's strange to see how natural this whole blogging business has become . At the start of this module, I would stare for what seemed like hours at the screen trying to decide what to write, wheareas now it feels natural to think " oh i should write about that on my blog " when anything remotely exciting happens ....which isn't often thanks to our jam packed time table!
     Anywho , back to the studying. Next week we've got exams every single day up untill thursday , then its finished for Christmas ! Some sort of event will have to be organsied for us, a well deserved end to a tough oul term in my opinion. Im currently in the middle of studying for both Chemistry and Cell Biology tests, simoultaneously, which I'm not sure is a great idea ? Interesting turn of events ; I now seem to prefer studying Chemistry than Cell Biology! I never thought I'd see the day as Chemistry really got me down in the first few weeks of term , but recently I'm finding it rather interesting as studying the topics is all new and exciting ....well, exciting is a bit of an overstatement, lets just stick to interesting. Cell biology seems boring and monotonous in comparison....
         Am finding it quite hard to get into the studying for cell Biology but hopefully I'll stick it out. I'm easily distracted however , and Facebook is the biggest culprit ! I need a bit of will power to get me through these next few days let me tell you ! As luck would have it , all social events seem to be happening this weekend but I'm going to have to give them a skip , for my own sake :( :( The boyfriend will have to be neglected for a little while aswell, but I'm sure he'll live!
       When I was scanning the internet, besides Facebook that is  , I was looking for useful sites to help a little bit. Came accross this gem and it seems to be helping , slightly....

Roll on the Holz!!!

Hello woooooooooooo getting christmas holidays next week so excited. The one bad thing about going to two colleges is that we dont get seriously long holidays. While cit get the month off for january we have to go to ucc lectures.... but hey 8 hours a week for the month of January partay time every night wooo!



Before all that we have to get over the exams, a thing i thought you would never have to do in college..... but you do have to do exams ALOT of them aaaah! i should seriously start studying but i think i'll worry about that next week! i'll probably end up looking like this guy though...



Omg its sooo cold here at the moment. It was snowing on Monday....some serious snow fights were happening woooo! k im gonna go now byeeeeeeeeeeeee

PAAAART AAAAAAA !! :p (GETTIT)

Weeeel as promised , had to get up pictures of the Class party , was a great laugh :) Everybody mixed well and thankfully there was no awkwardness between the various groups in the class, we're an easy going bunch :) Unfortuntately , we arrived to the party expecting free pizza and vodka jello shots ( a must have at any college class party ) but stupid Biochem Heads stole them all before we got a foot in the door ! Outrageous !

Who says scientists can't have fun eeh? I might explain the crazy look on my face aswell....I passed the dreaded Chemistry test with flying colours!! I was absolutely gobsmacked as I had really no clue what to expect ! It really was worth staying up all those nights, nothing beats the satisfaction of achieving something you worked hard for. After we recieved the results I had this look plastered on my face for the enitre class party, and well into the weekend I;m happy to report !

The following morning it was safe to say that our clas wasn't the most alert in our 9 o clock Cell Biology lab ! It wasn't the most demanding lab we've ever done so at least I was able to follow most of what was going on , despite my poor sore head , (all self inflicted , which apparently gets no sympathy , well according to my mother anyways :( ) Despite the groggy head , I still manage to take a few snaps. We were informed that this lab would be our last before the dreaded Lab Practical so I decided to document this momentous event with my tiny purple camera , which comes everywhere with me these days thanks to C.Mod :) (not complaining by the way , I always promise myself I'll take more photos , now  I have an excuse :)

Well there you have it :) No doubt there'll be a few blogs in the future complaining about the numerous assesments we have approaching in the next week or two ..EEEEK!

I can never really think of titles.......

Em, I know I haven't been the best blogger, I just never know what to say!!
In person you can't shut me up, but when its just me and my (new snazzy) laptop i draw a blank! This is my 7th time sitting down to write this!

College wise everything seems to be going well, we had out math's exam on Thursday. I think it went OK, but maths was never my strong point, and the negative marking was plus one minus one which is seriously tough!

Also on Thursday was the epicness that is CIT Christmas Day!! Which was so much fun! We had such a rush going from exam mind set straight to party mind set! But i think we did our level best!! Facebook is riddled with groups about CIT christmas, my favourties are....
"the akward moment when a CIT student celebrates Christmas one month early"
and
"the akward moment when a UCC student celebtares CIT Christmas"
We're definately stuck in the middle!!

While I'm talking about CIT Christmas, I just want to say how happy I am to have found such good friends in this course. I can honestly say that I've made some friends for life! If we're this close after only 3 months I can't wait to see what we're like in 4years!!
