UNIVERSITY- THE PLACE OF STUNTED EDUCATION

Well I haven't been in the best of moods for the past wek as I found out last Monday that my exams had been cancelled and I would recieve a 'predicted' classification. Also discovered that any written coursework including my thesis is not being marked or taken into account. I was not best pleased, and since speaking to the vice-chancellor of QUB nothing has been resolved and it is still a shambles. I will just have to wait and see what I am given!

Was working for age concern this week, aaren't some old people really funky! had good craic.

well thats it so far.

nothing too exciting im afraid. oh, rick has started to clear and work on the back garden, its looking good!

we've done lots in a week

well lets update this since I (katie) have now finished all my pieces of coursework. I was so fed up looking at a computer screen I just couldn't update this thing!
Anyway, the weather here last week has been lovely! Rick and I went for a walk round Ballyholme and along the beach, was really pretty!
Then on Friday night we went out to see Ulster play the borders in their last game at the present Ravenhill stadium. Thankfully they really slaughtered the borders, 60 something 17. It was a really good night, ended up back at Winnies! And of course I got my rugby burger with fake chees and onions ... mmm



Finally today, we christened our BBQ which my mum and dad bought us as a wedding present. We had the mills clan, stewart and elia round for a splendid day of food and craic!



So thats us up to date. see you soon x

woooooooooohooooooooooo

handed in my thesis this afternoon at 1.00pm. Thats a whole 3 hours before the deadline!
what a burden lifted off my heavy shoudlers! Took it to my thesis advisor this morning and worried he would rip it to shreds hours before it was due. Of course he didn't because I am wonderful. Anyone who wishes to read my investigation into deaf and partial hearing children's perception of rhythm feel free to let me know lol!!!
Anyway, it is a super feeling. One more essay to go, two exams and then... well who knows?



This is Lauren and I (ex roomie and psychology buddy), with our final thesis' bound and ready to go!

how is anyone meant to get any work done?


I just thought I would put up a quick post to remind everyone (STEWART AND LILIAN AND WINNIE) that the second series of Lost starts tonight on Channel 4!!! I am so excited although it is a double bill which means I need to stop at 10pm and watch it....
if you have never seen it you should watch, I was hooked in one episode! I plan to get rick hooked so he will watch it with me.
anyway here is a pic of Jack for all you ladies (he is yummy!)

and to entice Rick and the fellas here is Kate aswell!!

happy viewing. xx
