Greyhound Race Tracks!

We had a good group show up to go to the dog race tracks on friday. My neighbor races his dogs there as well, so he was able to meet up with us and give us a bit more information about the place. It's a very nice looking place, bar on both floors, and a resturant at the second floor with a cool view of the race tracks. I managed to win twice xD though some of the dogs names were rather funny. =P It was a very interesting and fun trip.

Will be putting up photos of it later. :)

Helloooo-o-o-o-o!

Oh Haaaaiiiiii!
Wooow It's been a while, I'm way behind on the posts. I'm in my third year now, and have been kept pretty busy. Aaanyway, some news from me:

-I Got a Summer Internship ! Woohoooooooooo!!! Yaaaaay! ^_^
So for this coming summer, I'll be working for Strencom.
It's an irish networking company. The guys who came down
for the interview were very nice, made it easy to talk to them. :)
Sooooooooooo I'll be in Ireland for the summer, and mostly over
in Blackpool. ^_^


So yeah ! YAAAY!

-I am the Chair Person for the International Students Society in CIT!
Yaaaaay! =D I wasn't sure if I should go for the position or not, but I ended up going for it in the end. ^_^ I'm enjoying my time as the Chairperson so far. It helps when you have such a great committee who are dedicated and willing to make time to organize the events throughout the year. As a committee so far we have: 1 person from Turkey (Meh xD), 2 from Germany (Sandra[PRO], & Kathrin[Secretary]), and 2 from France (Mathieu[Treasurer], & Maud [Assistant Treasurer])

So a good mixture really. :)
We have around 117 members in the society, so we're trying our best to make this a fun year for them. The students are very nice, and they all get along well with each other.

We've done: A welcome party, Halloween party, Bowling night. Tonight we're all going to the Greyhound rack tracks.

We also have a facebook page, look us up when you have the time. ISS CIT. =D


hmm that's all the news from my end to be honest.
In other random news, Neil Patrick Harris is on twitter. =P Yes I do use twitter, so it was nice to hear the news. If you don't know who he is I would suggest you look up "Dr. Horribles' singalong blog" on youtube, or start watching the tv show: "How I met your mother". He's very good.

The show is about a guy called Ted Mosby, telling a story to his children about how he met their mother. Neil plays a woman crazy Barney Stinson, who is one of Teds best friends, determined to teach his friend more about the ways with women. Let's just say there are too many hilarious momments in the show to be able to list them all here in this blog. :)


He's not the only one, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day are also on twitter. They were both in "Dr. Horribles singalong blog" with Neil Patrick Harris.

Nathan Fillion stars in the tv show "Castle" as a rather funny mystery novelist Richard Castle, who ends up tagging along with a young detective Kate Beckett (played by Stana Katic). He uses the excuse of wanting to use her as the next character in a new book he is writing.

Famous & filthy rich novelist + a rather tough female detective = comedy ensues!!

Felicia Day has her own show as well. Starting out on Youtube it got pretty popular. "The Guild"
about a group of WOW players, and the hilarious situations they find themselves in once they all decide to meet up in real life. Even for someone who doesn't play wow, it's still a pretty good show to watch. They also got themselves a deal with microsoft for their new season coming out (they're on season 3 now and going strong).


So all three are on twitter, and with rather amusing posts at that. =P


Started flooding in Cork on thursday. Thankfully things weren't too bad in Carrigaline, we were still able to get out and about. Though corks main street Patrick street was flooded really bad on thursday. Google it on youtube to get a better idea on how bad it was.

hmm No other news other then that for now. Finally finished a post. More will be coming soon if I manage to get work out of the way.

Soooooo anyways, stay dry, and hope you guys have a good month. =)
