Today represents the four-year anniversary of my Father’s death, it simultaneously feels like it has been longer and shorter, it’s a very bizarre feeling, I still remember each detail of the week that followed it, though that’s another blog post for another day. Today more so seems to be a day of reflection, on how [...]
With one week of lectures left in college, I’m forced to reflect on my year, and as many outgoing first years will say, where the hell it went. I’ve done a lot in my year, I definitely learned a lot, not only in the field of science, but also about myself, and while this may [...]
This week is Pride Week in Maynooth, and as tradition goes we’re holding ANTM(Alternative Next Top Model) on Thursday night, I am going as Teddy Grinds, Jedward’s older(talented) brother, just thought you might all want to know this, and maybe get a gander.

In just under two weeks(the 5th of November) I turn 18, it may only represent a [...]
Sitting outside the Computer Science labs on one of the college’s many PC’s(There’s two Mac rooms, but they’re only for Post Grads ) I handed in my first assignment today, it was a weird feeling, I’ve got my Chemistry lab in an hour or so and that should round off my second week in college. [...]
