Bench-pressing my blogging abs
Posted by Ciara under Study, all about us, out and about
Back in the game!
It’s been too long, dear readers/stalkers from Bebo/Scally! One shouldn’t be excused for abandoning you during such stuffy times as exam season, but I’ll try to redeem your faith in me. Reilly and I have been getting our stress on in a big way (more anon) and blogging was impractial, nay impossible. That said, I’m back for good now (with your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup, or at least on one stolen from the office… I see it as redundancy)
So. Where have you been, Mama Brennan? To what reasonage for your abandonment shall you cling to now? Well, in no particular order, I have, in the past fortnight:
- Returned from Slovakia
- Survived two job interviews
- Begun work (-ish) with said job
- Continued to moonlight as a Sabbatical Officer in UCDSU
- Moved house
- Rewritten the Class Rep Constituency make-up for the next academic year (hack-a-doodle)
- Registered for my new evening course to prepare me for FE1 Death
- Begun studying for said Death
- Enjoyed a catch-up weekend in Wexford with the Ladies GAAfia
- Begun Curves in Donnybrook (there are plenty blogs in that one!)
- Realised that the Mini-Marathon will be Epic Fail
- Sat in the RDS for a cold and miserable week during the UCD exams, looking after all you real student types
- Purchased tickets for even more gigs/concerts (Dara O’Briain, Muse et al)
- Endured yet another Sligo/USI weekend of debauchery
- Enjoyed my fabulous Mother’s birthday celebrations
- Co-ordinated a fundraiser for the Chinese Earthquake victims, raising over €10,000
- Celebrated the Munster win in style
- Celebrated, with equal aplomb, the beginning of the Championship
- Begun crossover with next year’s team, albeit with a certain degree of “Jeez, I’m bitter nobody was this nice to me, this time last year…”
- Dealt with an issue with a friend that’s been on the horizon for a while now, and has finally been put to bed, and all is well.
Basically, to phrase my father (Habeus Papam Nickey), “She’s been hitting the ground in spots”. Our world of late has a habit of swallowing any spare nanosecond, but I’m back on the blogging bike and all normality shall resume anon.
Take this as an update to take the edge off, I’ll be back soon!
