Wow i have to admit it is a bit weird writing up my fourth entry for this - time is going by nicely and i have to say everything is going nicely hear. I am expecting things to get a bit busier in the coming weeks so we will have to keep in touch with everything.
I have to admit everything is going well with my modules - well i don't have complaints yet. I think i'm on top of everything anyhows. Sometimes i always get the feeling that i'm going well in one module but then think i'm taking my eye off another. I guess that the challenge at hand!! :) The modules i think i'm ok with are HCI, Probability, Hardware and Web Development however Programming and Routing i think may provide the fight this semester. They are both tough subjects in their own right and i hope everything will go well through the semester as they are 100% assessment.
Everything is going well outside of study. The COM group are really having a good time as we are spending more time with each other as a group. We are always playing pool up in the Common Room which is great fun and i have to admit watching Kevin Moore playing pool is quality stuff!! :) Me - well i give it my best and i ain't no Ronnie O'Sullivan!!
That's the update for this week. I have to admit everything is going quiet well hear in CIT and i hope it continues however its more likely to get tougher however that's why i'm hear!! :)
Bye Bye

Week 3 at CIT (Semester 2)
Hello again, well i was in a bit early this morning due to the National schools having mid-term so i thought this would be a good oppurtunity to continue with my blog. This week is RAG week!!! wow
Well to give an update on everything i have to say everything is going breezy enough. Doing my best to keep on top of everything and i think i'm doing ok. I have a HCI project to hand up by tomorrow but i will hand Paul Rothwell the hardcopy today and do away with it. I am quiet satified with it and we have another project due for 5th March. This is a team assignment where i am teamed up with Caroline Buckley and Kevin Moore and we are offically called "Group 5" however we refer ourselves as "Team Awesome" :) I am really getting into Web Development now, html at first was a bit strange however you get into the hang of it and we are going through nested lists and tables - i understand what methods are applied for their construction. Everything else is going fine at the moment. I am just trying to browse through these subjects at home so i am familar with them and i hope it will move me onto Semester 3.
From a working point of view i am now finished up in Dairygold for the moment. The audit was on Tuesday so my services are not required for now. I hope to work there again for the Summer which will be cool as getting an income is nice. :) Not only that but i can focus on college too.
So there you go, i have to say i better be finishing up on this entry as i have Computer Hardware with Denis Long in a few minutes so i better head over to C134. Must be done!!!
Stay cool!!!

Week 2 at CIT (Semester 2)
Howdy ho!! Well i better give you all an update on how things are developing. Everything i have to admit is going fine, settling back into the place again after the break. This week is UCC RAG week so everyone upon the place is feeling the urge to hit the town!! ;)
I have to say it is tough trying to settle back into the Programming, it had been around 9 weeks since we actually had a class with Jim Doyle. However for this semester in "Programming Fundamentals 2" we have a new lecture - Gemma O'Callaghan. To be honest i think it wasn't a wise decision to change lectures as Jim knew what we have covered in the course and more importantly he knew the students within the class. So it is a change with the Gemma as she is getting to know us but hopefully everything will surpass in a breeze. I have to say everything is going well in all the other subjects, Routing, Protocols and Concepts maybe the most difficult one of them all but in i hope in time i should be ok. I have a HCI (Human Computer Interface) assignment due Friday and im nearly finished it so i hope to patch up everything after writing this.
I am working the weekends of last. For instance i have worked the last two weekends and i have to say i feel blessed to be working part-time but then again it is tiring. I slept on Tuesday till 8 (which recently is late by my book) and that extra hour sleep made some difference - i was seriously chirpy that day!!! haha This weekend could be my last weekend working as there is a big audit next Tuesday so i'd say my services won't be required until the Summer. To be honest it is for the best as things are getting busy in college and the weekends will be required for that bit of study. Cork and Kerry are playing this Saturday in the National Football League in Cork and i'm planning heading up to it with my Kerry buddy Patrick. The banter should be gas and bragging rights will be at stake - something to look forward to!!! CIT RAG week next week also!!! :)
Well there you have it, everything is going fine up here i have to say, i'm smiling in any case so things must be good!!! :)
So long!!

Week 1 at CIT (Semester 2)
Well back to the grind of CIT. To be honest its good to be back, a change to the last month so its nice to be put into busy mode. Well Colin Manning told us that we are to write a blog for this subject - to be honest i thought it was the end of the blogging after Creative, Innovation & Teamwork so i guess we have to continue the trend this semester aswel.
We had our first lab in Web Development Fundamentals and i think its cool. I always loved the thought of producing a webpage that people could have access to. We made a webpage today and i made mine about being happy in life so i had a few pictures and text which was cool. For the first day i was happy with what i created so i hope i can obtain the skills to make quality websites. Colin has created an iTunes account where we can access recordings of classes and develop our thoughts on Web Development. We are to listen the recordings "Class 2" and "Class 3" so i will have a look at them tonight. Thats the plan anyway!!! :)
We have be introduced to all our other new modules and we shall see how those develop. I passed all last semesters exams so i hope to pass all modules in semester 2 and hopefully have a free, relaxing and WARM Summer. Well i better leave it at that for now.
Take it easy
