Holidays!

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

So, the exams are over. And, truth be told, they were fine. No real problems, although one should have gone better than it did. But, I’m not complaining.

I’m back at home again, in West Kerry. So, no broadband again.

I’m spending the two weeks at home trying to update Dad’s business site www.saildingle.com. I’m learning how to do stuff properly with Dreamweaver. It’s ‘fun’. Well, actually, it’s alright.

So, that’s it. I know I pretty much dropped off the face of the earth over the Christmas period, so if any of you are following my Twitter stream, sorry.

I’ll let you know how I get on.

:)

Exam Time

Monday, January 19th, 2009

So, I’m back in Dublin, after a lovely four weeks at home in Kerry. Having broadband again is great.

It’s exam time again, and I had my first one today. After two weeks of feeling completely complacent, I had a little twinge of panic this morning. If only the nerves came earlier, I would work harder!

In any case, it was fine. In fact, it was probably better than fine. There was really only one or two parts of questions that I couldn’t answer, so I’m guessing it will be around the 70-80% mark. Which is nice.

What annoys me about those one or two parts, well, one in particular, is that they came up several times in the past few years, but I still didn’t learn them. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Still, one down, two to go!

Christmas

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Hello.

It’s been a while, I know. I have been at home for the past few weeks, since we got our christmas holidays. By home, I mean the back of beyond, the middle of nowhere, dial-up internet land. Yes, Wine Strand, in the heart of the Kerry gaeltacht.

I love being at home for christmas. The whole family gathers, and we eat, drink and be merry for a few days, before getting back to normal. And even then, continue to eat, drink and be merry well into January.

Actually, to tell the truth, today was the first day since christmas eve that we haven’t downed a bottle of wine (or three) with dinner. Although we are still munching on chocolates like they are going out of fashion.

It’s great. I couldn’t imagine not being at home, or at least with my family, for the holiday period.
