How now!!! Well as predicted things are getting a bit busier in this place. It is the last week before the two week Easter break and we are starting to get some projects and assignment. It is to be expected and each carry a good chunk of the marks so its about doing my best in each and see what happen after that.
The assignments i got for this week are Web and Programming. Both are difficult in their own right but they ain't impossible. The Web assignment is about designing a webpage that applies to CSS which we haven't done much of yet however we will be doing more of it after Easter. Programming is also testing as we have to produce the majority of the program out of Files and Arrays however we should be able to pull through in the end. With Hardware and HCI projects also it ought to be a busy period in the next few weeks.
The sporting scene was a bit of a mixed bag in the last week. Ireland were beaten in the Triple Crown decider against Scotland which was very disappointing however i have to be fair and say that the Scots played very well and deserved their win - credit has to be due. I also told you last week that i had a U21 football semi-final championship in Milstreet last Friday. It was great as we won in a really dreadful night - weather wise however the boys were great and we deserved our 4 point win sincerely. I even got the last 10 minutes where i was thrown in the forward and i ran my heart out for the team. The final is on Saturday 3rd April against Kiskeam or Boherbue so whoever we meet we will give it our very best and see what happens in the end.
There you have it - things are that bit busier however i am still enjoying the experience of the place and having real fun with my mates - especially in the common room!!! haha :)

Week 7 at CIT (Semester 2)
Hi there, well we are in St Patrick's week and the big day will be coming up tomorrow. It gives us Wednesday off which is nice and also i haven't been feeling so good Monday and Tuesday due to a cold and a sore throat. We will have to solider on!! :)
Things are as busy as usual. We are after having a few assessments last week and i also had a Hardware MCQ assessment this morning which i got 80%, i was very happy with as negative marks applied. We have another week after this and after that we have two weeks off. I know things will get a bit busier due to assignments and projects so i will have to be on top of my toes and do want is required to get it through this Semester. Hardware and HCI we already have projects while Programming will be handed out next week.
The rugby was great in the weekend. Ireland were extremely good against Wales and scored three great tries. We still have a chance in winning the 6 Nations Championship however France have a +50 points difference so it is extremely unlikely that we will pull it off because France are awesome at the moment. We have the Triple Crown to play for against Scotland on Saturday so it would be a nice prize to get in the end.
Well i must leave it at that. I have football training coming up soon so i must head. I play U21 for Lyre and we have a Duhallow championship semi-final match this Friday night so we hope to give it our very best. :)
Till then, god bless!!

Week Six at CIT (Semester 2)
We are approaching the middle of the semester in CIT, after this week it will be another six weeks and we shall have the Summer to look forward to!! I have to say it is going quiet fast, there has been a few mid-term assessments undertaken and plenty more to come.
This week i am after having three assessments already, i had Programming yesterday morning and i have to admit it went quiet well. I got the whole thing working to its requirements so i was very happy to get it done. Today i had a Probability assessment and overall i think i did quiet good, out of the four questions i got three in fairly good nick so i have to be pleased in the end. After that i had a Programming MCQ where we had to answer 30 multiple questions, they are quiet tough as i had experience from it last year and i was happy to get 190/300. It was worth 5% so that's a nice 3% to have in the bag!! :)
I had a great time at last weeks Pick & Mix Ball last week, nice to dress up for the occasion and have plenty of fun with my friends. I am looking forward to the rugby this weekend, we are playing Wales in Croke Park and it should be a good game. I hope we can get the win and HOPEFULLY England can do us a favour the subsequent week and we may nick the Six Nations Championship!! But it is very unlikely as the French are on fire.
Nice, as you can tell i am a bit busy, there is plenty of work to be done in the coming weeks. Hardware, Routing, HCI, etc. That's what to look forward to..... hope i can give it my all for each assessment. :)
Talk laters!!

Week 5 at CIT (Semester 2)
Hello there, well i must give an update again on how i'm getting on in this place. Well i admit everything is going really swell, i am feeling really happy of late in CIT and beyond so it's nice to be on a high.
In the coming weeks things will be getting a bit busier. Next week we have a Programming Assessment worth 20% and after that there is a Hardware online exam worth 12.5% so there are marks up for grabs. Today in Programming i got on really well, we were given a lab question, very similar to next weeks Assessment so i hope the same will come to prosper. The Hardware is a bit harder to prepare for as it's multiple choice and also the question can be tricky. As they say, ill do my best to prepare the best i can and we shall see what occurs after that.
On a sporting front i didn't catch much really - just the most important match which was England vs Ireland and it was a classy game!!! Tommy Bowe scored a beauty in the end and it set me up well as i went to Killarney after and it was great fun. Last week i have to admit was a great week. Things are going really good for me and sometimes you have to lay back and just consider how life is going and for me i feel really good when i look at everything. I loving it up in CIT, making great friends up there, doing my all in my modules and outside of that i look at everything and say i feel really lucky. Things sometimes in life don't come to plan and they didn't for me however i am happy in this moment so i'm glad its this way!! :)
Just note taking here but the i learned from my night in Killarney that Americans will truly believe ANYTHING and the French are as bad as i thought (The woman anyway!!!) haha The Pick & Mix ball is on Thursday - it should be good!!! :)
Cool ill leave it at that!! :)
