7 Steps To a Brain Anurism

[stairway 2 hell]

just started my exams today. theres 7 of them, hence the title. and me being the lazy undecisive libran that i am i left it all til the last minute. even if they are some of the hardest first year exams in cit i still didnt pay attention. we opened the shop with maths today and i must say it wasnt too bad. partial differentiation wasnt what i would have liked it too have been but integration and differential equations went off without a hitch. (those of you reading this that dont know what i just said, smile and nod and continue reading. for those of you that do, fair play). and coming around the corner on wednesday is stats and computing, computing having absolutley no relevance to my coarse what so ever but what can you do? stats is great though plus my lecturer is like 6ft 9" which is pretty huge. problem is he's probably the biggest gambler i've ever met but since he has the knowledge on probability and the like he gets away with it (furiously found this out with when he fleeced myself and ten of my class mates out of a fiver [each] in a game of poker). only one problem in all this. my insomnias back. AHHHHHHHHH :maad: :curse:. i got exactly a half hours sleep on saturday (work the following day was comical) and three and a half last night. era sure how bad. more time to study you might say. anywho one down, six to go.

[stairway 2 hell]

ah another exam down. this one wasnt too bad either. piece of piss really. most likely gonna give me conpensation marks for other subjects god forbid i should need them :eek:!! wasnt a bad day really except that the day started at 5 am (after having gone to bed at 2). this time i woke up ahead of my alarm. usually thats a sign of stress but i dont feel stressed out. i feel calm and relaxed. which is a change believe me. i have big plans this summer. gonna get fit (well fitter than i am now) gonna take up a new martial art muay thai and i'm finally gonna get me some muscle. i'll be doing with a buddy of mine so it shouldnt be too bad. wish i still had my bike though. ah well live and learn. still havent looked at physics and properties yet which is kinda bad cos its suppoesed to be hard. sure how bad. i have until 2.30 friday to sort that part out. anyway 2 down, 5 to go.....

[stairway 2 hell]

aha three down, four to go. physics wasnt too bad even though it didnt always agree with me. next one now on tuesday is gonna be the first challenging one cos its the first chemical engineerring subject i'm yet to be examined on. the easy stuff is grand and even the hard stuff is doable its just its a completely different mindset to doing the questions. with like maths and physics and stats you kinda know when you start the question where you're gonna end up but with these you dont really know what is the right way. all you have is a few rules of thumb to go by. ah well it shouldnt be too bad. the lecturer liked us so thats not a bad thing. maybe she'll make it easy. anywho still aint sleeping properly. starting to bug me now. sleep kinda comes in handy. still i havent started to fatigue yet. cant wait til its all over. apparently we're getting a keg for tallica. thats gonna kick ass. must try and get work off for it now. hooray. anyway. three down four to go. roll on process principles you heartless bitch...... :D

[stairway 2 hell]

aha theres another one down. i nailed that bitch, right between the..... i'm sorry kinda lost myself there. went very well though. much better than expected. was expecting it to be a massacre of dynamic proportions. but it wasnt. maybe this just shows i'm actually studying. ah well. i nailed it. anywho next exam now is chemistry and biology. and god bless the lovely people here in cit who nicely arranged the exam in chemistrys favour. so all i have to is do really well in chemistry and then i can leave out biology. cos me and biology dont get along. so i'll study my ass off in chemistry which i love anyway. recently put up my dream catcher over my bed and EVERYTIME :evil: i look up in the morning it scares the shit out of me. damn thing. anywho maybe it'll help me get some sleep. aint working yet though. must need energiser batteries. or bunnies. i'm not sure. which do they actually make again; the bunny or the battery? ah who cares i'm talking gibberish. next three exams now are gonna need a good effort. chemistry and biology should be do able. mechanics and process design may require a bit of luck as well as effort. anyway 4 down 3 to go. whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lives in a pineapple under the sea??????

[stairway 2 hell]

i dont know why but i just feel very depressed at the moment. just came back from shams after a bit of a bbq and was feeling fine until i left. then i just started thinking about stuff and my mind started wandering and it just came back with this negative answer. times like this i just miss being able to ring someone up and talk to them. even at this hour. :upset:. times like this you just need someone to hug..... :(

[stairway 2 hell]

aha finished chemistry and biology. wasnt a bad paper at all. could do 5 out of the 6 chemistry questions and i only needed 4 and i scraped through the biology questions. the next two exams are the big issue now. i have mechanics on tuesday now which i've done a lot for during the year so it shouldnt be a total disaster. but process design i havent done a whole lot in. that'll be the major problem. still i put in a good effort over the next 7 days and it shouldnt be too bad. i hope :B? anywho glad thats over with. 5 down 7 more to go. go on ya good thing....

[stairway 2 hell]

ok that should have been 5 down 2 more to go. even with the honours maths i still cant count. anywho. took a break off from studying (for the past three days :B) and i really shouldnt have. these next two exams are the hardest and i'm fucking around with them. should start taking them a lot more seriously. then again i'm kinda hoping that my process design lecturer who's going for european elections and has the vote on the 11th june will give us a nice easy paper so he can spend more time on his campaign. well you can always dream. cant wait til theyre finished though. having a bbq in the anglers rest straight after it which'll kick ass and then i concentrate on getting fit for the summer. gonna take up muay thai as well so next time ye see me i'll be black and blue all over. ah well it'll be an excuse to get some muscle into the upper half of my body. wasnt feeling to great over the past few weeks. i was letting a couple of situations get me down when really they shouldnt have. but i feel a bit better now. for a change. anywho work in 7 hours so i really should get too bed but i still havent been sleeping well so it probably wont make a difference :rolleyes:!! must get the head down now in the next week. kev dont want to do repeats.....

[stairway 2 hell]

well. that was ok :B!! ish!! the paper was awful. thank god the easy questions were left easy. the rest though was a blur. couldnt even tell ya what sections were being asked cos i just didnt know. anywho done and dusted and in the bin, never to be seen again. until repeats!!! anywho one more to go. one more. then i'm going on the bender to end all benders. christ three solid days drinking and i reckon i should have forgotten everything in the past year so how bad. not like i'm gonna need it anyway. anywho my last exam now. i aint too sure. it is a bit of a balls of an exam. hopefully he'll be off campaigning and be too busy to care that he'll just pass us all. heres hoping. anywho 6 down 1 to go. bbq on thursday evening should be good. sure who doesnt like beer and burgers??

[stairway 2 hell]

YAHOO. yeah, finished. yeah. BEER. i'm off to get pissed. what a sweet last exam. plus i had ciaran supervising who looked mightely bored. anywho i is finished. and i is happy. think i passed all of them plus i was told by the lecturer i got the highest in the class in one of them so i dont care at this stage. i have a whole summer to enjoy and (hopefully) not worry about repeats. i is happy. going off to get drunk. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

[stairway 2 hell]

well exam results are out 11th of june. not too worried to be honest. the exams i thought i'd be failing went really ok so hopefully i'll be doing none of them for the summer. kinda lost as to what i should be doing. last year was pretty intense. might even go so far as to say it was worse than the leaving cert. hell i had more subjects. but it wasnt terrible. was at the gym today which wasnt too bad. thank god the munster team wasnt there cos they always seem to show up and put me to shame. but not this summer. gonna get fit. muay thai on thursday. cant wait for that. it'll be an experience to say the least.

[stairway 2 hell]

finally got the sunday off. yahoo can enjoy the beach now. went along to my first muai thai class there on thursday and to one tomorrow. man its extreme stuff. i got some pain in my arm just from holding the pad while someone else kicked it. plus he kicked me in the face cos he has shite accuracy. but anywho its extreme full contact stuff which i like. so it should be fun. i got the kicking down properly so thats ok. anywho not doing too much with my summer as of late. have been to the gym about 3 times this week which is good going. still arent sleeping properly which is really annoying but last night i did have a decent nights sleep mainly because i was dying after muai thai. anywho onwards and upwards, the summer is still young

[stairway 2 hell]

must say i really enjoyed the beach the last day. good to put some names to some faces (well cians anyway him being the only stranger there). was a good day though to spend away from work even if i did get scalded. anywho the blisters are starting to go down but i'm as itchy as hell all over because of it. work last night was hell. yes i was asked last night to work the night shift. well begged more like. there was no one all. wasnt to bad though except now my internal clock is all off and weird. but sure who cares. i need the money. i is broke. and tallicas in a couple of weeks. and if kev needs to work the night shift to get money then kev will work the night shift. damn jenny. having me speaking about myself in the third person. kev no want to go insane.........!!

[stairway 2 hell]

aint much happening. everyone is busy and i still havent started work fulltime so i'm bored outta my tree. enjoying muay thai a lot now. i've really gotten into it and it kicks so much ass. cant wait to get some proper ring experience soon. anywho apart from that not much else. been going to the gym whenever possible but must start running as well soon just to build up my endurance. really looking forward to tallica next week. its what kept me going all year and kept me sane. oh yeah and i got a 2.1 in my exams so i'm pleased with that. was better than expected.

[stairway 2 hell]

not a whole lot too report since i was last on here. i've seen a lot of films in the past while shrek 2, farenheit 911, around the world in 80 days and walking tall, all of which have been enjoyable. i've taken up muay thai in the last 2 months and i could be fighting as soon as september so how bad? i've achieved a lot for a change. apart from that not much else to report. i'm going to holland on friday for two weeks so that should be enjoyable :nope:!! i was given the offer of staying home for the two weeks by myself but that didnt seem to materialise. i'll also be volunteering in dublin for the spina bifida and hydrocephalus (cant spell for shit) organisation for a week when i get back and thats always enjoyable. gotten into slipknot a lot after seeing them live. i'll pick up a couple of albums of theres soon enough. wont be able to go to the thing on the 8th of august though cos the people in work are assholes so they can go fuck off. apart from all that not much else to report.

[stairway 2 hell]

ha ha. i is the land of the netherlands where no one knows what i'm saying and people say "yes" like "yesh!" yeah the holiday aint going to bad. not much to report. we're having thunder and lightning at the moment which makes me wonder why we left in the first place. still where we're staying aint to bad. its a center parcs thingy with ammenities appartently. although i havent seen them yet i'm sure theyre there. right well i'm back to the wonderful world of storm clouds. i'll report back if i get hospitalised or something

[stairway 2 hell]

man havent been on this thing in a while. not much happened to me in between. the holiday was shit. rained for 12 outta the 14 days and then for the last two days we had unbearable sunshine. it was rather annoying. also i was in dublin for the last week volunteering for the irish association for spina bifida and hydrocephalus which was a great laugh and always is. apart from that nothing new. my left shoulder and side of my neck are killing me. dont know what happened to it but muay thai tonight didnt help.

[stairway 2 hell]

dont seem to reply here often enough. guess not that much happens to me. not much to report. looking forward to saturday in which theres a muay thai competition in the silver springs (in which all are welcome) and my instructor is putting his european championship on the line. theyre some bunch of fighters though. must see dodgeball as well. my brother saw it tonight and said it was a good film so thats on the cards in the next week. not particullarly looking forward going back to college. its not that i hate my coarse or anything its just that theres too much work involved. rather busy last week. there just seemed to be a lot more on then usual. must get a new phone as well. i'm sick of ready to go so i'm finally gonna get a bill phone. besides it'll work out cheaper in the end anyway. as for all that not much else to report. then again ye couldnt care less anyway......

[stairway 2 hell]

cant sleep!! clown'll eat me!! i is all injured from muay thai. my neck, lower back and right leg are killing me. they were really nice to us on thursday and only made us do 1000 sit ups. twas great. will be worth it in the end. anyway fight night tonight and i cant wait for that. last years one was excellent so this one should be just as good. and as i'm sure you've gathered, i cant sleep.

[stairway 2 hell]

eh not a whole lot to report. not much happens to me. 2nd year isnt too bad yet. it is hard but i'm still surviving. there are a few subjects that do look easy. if anyones ever heard of the bernoulli equation, we have an entire class on that topic. score. its too god damn easy. apart from that we start off some proper chemical engineering subjects so they should be interesting. health wise i have started to get severe lower back problems so i'm going to the doctor on tuesday to figure out if i have to a chiropractor or an osteopath. i'm hoping that it'll be a quick fix even though it is my back. last thing i want is an operation cos then thats my back gone for life and any hope hope of continuing martial arts. anywho still enjoying muay thai loads and apart from my back i am getting stronger and fitter so that cant be too bad. nothing else to report anyway, i'll be back if there is though.

[stairway 2 hell]

once again feck all to report. college is really lacing into the work at this stage. we have so much work to do just to keep up then on top of projects and reports its a much. but i'm kinda coping. was falling asleep in class today even in the subjects i actually like. thai boxing is going well as well but i have a huge bruise on my arm from last night. gives my arm a bit of character i guess. still dont know when or if i'm fighting but sure that can wait. my back is ok now though. all it was was a bit of a muscle strain. nothing serious thank god but i will be taking more care of it (says he currently slouching in his chair)

[stairway 2 hell]

man what a start to the day. was coming into college with my dad tday and we were making good time but coming towards the link road at the back of ballincollig we got rear ended by a van and man did we get smashed. my dads boot is in shit and obviously the bumper and lights are gone. but we gave as good as we got. your man managed to drain his radiator and his engine didnt look to healthy. but we're all good. no one was injured except your mans wallet so all in all wasnt a bad start to the day. come on world BRING IT ON!!!!

[stairway 2 hell]

well not much been happening. i've been wrecked these past few days despite the fact i went to bed at around half 11 every night last week. this week off will do me well. sure i was an hour and a half late for work this morning. no one said anything though which is always good. i'll feel guilty if i dont actually pick up a book during the week and make an attempt to study. that'll probably take up most of my week but i do have a few reports to finish except i do have one due for monday but one of the lads in my group took all our data and he's currently in tipperary so monday morning should be fun. man o man college aint all its cracked up to be. at least not second year anyway. i have no time to do anything and on top of training i just feel suffocated. i dont bother going out during the week cos i just know i'll pay for it the next day. oh shudder!!!!!

[stairway 2 hell]

just curious here but why is my journal always the thing most looked at? bit strange to me. anywho not a whole lot to talk about. went out last night with my class for a bit of a piss up and kareoke. twas a good laugh and many people were mortified but thank god it wasnt me. ha ha and theres video evidence. went to club one which surprisingly wasnt that bad. apart from all that i have a severe headache, not from the drink surprisingly, but from a nice round kick i got last night in thai boxing! which considering was the only substantial hit that i got in that sparring session i think its a victory (although a painful one). aha. and college aint going too bad either except exams are coming up fast. still tho off on the 17th for christmas. yahoo. anywho i'm off. if i dont get killed in thai boxing before than i'll be back

[stairway 2 hell]

boohoo and wow as me. i could have been boarding a plane to rio de janeiro in 8 hours time but once again life seems to have a way of disappointing me. i got a call from my old man today saying that he had a very important package (possibly drugs; very james bond or ethan hunt i know) that had to be hand couriered to rio de janeiro. all well and good he asks me (bare in mind this is all expenses paid and theres some money involved) and i jump at the opportunity only to be told its being pushed back by a week in which i'll have exams :maad: :curse: :upset: !! dag nab it!!!!

[stairway 2 hell]

ugh the utter torment of exams are back. and what a day it was. start off with a three hour exam quenched down to an hour (the lecturer was very proud of that) which was a great strain on my hand and my head. i had some headache after it. then role on the "easy" exam. man what a disaster that was. twas completely off the wall. anywho tomorrow is the big deal now. an exam in the morning from the same lecturer (should be fun) and three subjects quenched into one exam. hooray :eek:
