hello everyone, hope ye had a great halloween. Thursday night was crazy, iv'e never seen so many people all in fancy dress, coming from small Tipperary Town I cudn't believe some of the costumes I saw in the city - from Pac man to a dustbin, some people put in serious effort to look good for the celebrations!! I myself found a pig costume in Hallmark and this got a fair few laughs out of a lot of people, although it nearly backfired when a group of drunks started calling me "the swine flu"!!
Anyway we had our first cell biology test on thursday also, it wasn't too bad, once you go to the lectures its not that hard i suspose. Glad its out of the way though. Im absolutely dreading the maths test on the 18th of Nov. Oh god help us all. Some serious cramming to be done for that. The lectures are going grand other than that.The labs are interesting I have to say, it's hands-on which I enjoy, even though the lab reports that I have to write up are piling up very fast!
Other than that I don't have any other news of great importance. I finally cooked my first dinner last week - the pride I felt was incredible!! No more take-away pizzas for me.... well maybe the odd one or two ....... or three.

Hey there! I’m finally starting to get used to Cork. Everyone else has one college to get used to, but we have two. Were lucky in a way as we get two of everything eg the mardyke and leisureworld etc! We get to experience both colleges. The hard thing is travelling back and forth between CIT and UCC, but im getting used to it now and its not so bad. Its so tiring having to get up early to catch the bus to UCC, especially when you've been out the night before! uggh!!
I’m really liking the cell biology part of the course and bio-med is interesting too. Biology was my favourite and best subject in school. The way our lecturer teaches us is very helpful i think compared to other lecturers. So far weve studied biomolecules and enzymes and ive learnt them in biology and home ec already so its easy enough so far. In our cell biology lab, we tested protein, fats and carbohydrates, which we have also done in secondary school. In our biomed labs weve looked at microscopic specimens under a microscope which were interesting.
Im fairly disliking Physics and Math’s. Theres a reason why i didnt do physics or honours maths for the leaving! The great thing is theres a free grinds service in cit. Thats going to come in fairly handy.
Chemistry is very hard i think, when i read my notes all i see is random facts about chemistry!! Im so lucky i got a leaving cert chemistry book from one of my friends in my class, it explains it soo much better :)
In UCC were the Boole with over 200 people in the class! It’s a big difference from coming from a little country school with only a mere 30 people. Second, it’s like the lecturers think we have all done the subjects before and at an honours level with the rapid pace there making.
The labs are interesting here. There so different to secondary school labs. We all look so professional with our cool lab coats. The annoying part is having to submit lab reports! which reminds me a have to do one! So i better go, talk to ya again. Overall im really happy i chose this course :)
