So, the school’s closed next Tuesday, because teachers are protesting against pay cuts. I think it’s a very admirable cause. So admirable, in fact, that I don’t think you can do it all in just one day. I think you should close all the schools on Monday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday too :) [...]
Woo, Bewleys’ hotels finally have actual working wifi in their hotel rooms. This is a big step forward. I wrote my emergency, last-minute debate speech during the car journey up. It was rather excellent actually. All my thoughts flowed coherently and I’ve discovered the awesomeness of WriteRoom, after I managed to get a free copy [...]
I’ve decided to stop using my MacBook Air at home. I’m not totally sure why, but it’s being a pile of ass recently. I think the old Airs were for people like Dad who use Safari and Mail, and almost nothing else. Not even iTunes. Now, it’s perfect for him because it weighs nothing, and [...]
I originally wrote this post, but it sounded awfully press release-y so I went back and altered it :) _____ After I set up the directory two other secondary school students (Ben Chapman and Enda Crowley) took it upon themselves to bring my vague pipe-dream of someday making it into its own website and took [...]
I was talking to someone doing about blogging this afternoon and as we talked it hit me that there are very few secondary school students blogging. Well, I know a good few college students doing it, Aoife and Alan to name a couple. I think that, like all respects, people in secondary school can bring [...]
In Music, we’re currently making notes on the set songs for our Junior Cert. So far, we’ve done Preab san Ól, an Irish Drinking Song preaching to us to spend all our money now on drink, cos we can’t take any of it to the grave. Marks for being technically true.. The second one that [...]
what the post title’s alluding to My first full week back at school has been rather good. Like I’ve said, I miss waking up at 12:30 (got up at 08:30, shock horror) but perhaps that’s for the best. I’m back at school, where our work is being geared toward the Big Scary Thing In June [...]
One thing that never fails to amaze me about summer is how the days become names. Friday now means the same thing as Tuesday, which means nothing different to Saturday, which is identical to Thursday, and so on. Now that I’m back at school, I’m happy it’s a Friday because it’s the weekend. The weekend, [...]
Below is taken from an essay I had to do for English to give the teacher an idea of what were our writing styles: My Mom says I’m an outgoing person who is easy to live with. My parents often told me gladly, with a hint of don’t-you-start-or-we’ll-kick-you-out in their voice, that I don’t do [...]
Today is the first time in about 3 weeks I found myself awake before 10:00. Yes, I am a vagabond, yes I am. Actually, I think I was awake earlier. I have this vague notion of my phone waking me up at 04:38. I would think that this was a dream because whatever about setting [...]
