Eeny meanie miney moe!!!

Well today i had my theory exam in Business software applications when i had relatively no clue of!!
All I can say is thank god for multiple choice as now I have at least a 25% chance of passing the exam!!
I had a brainwave during the exam........seen as i had no idea of any of the answers i decided i would rely on sheer luck to try and pass this exam. So i played a game of eeny meanie miney moe with each of the four choices each time and completed the exam in all of six minutes!!!Ok I reralise this isn't something I should be proud of however I do feel that these occasions call for such actions!
My conscience was eased when i spoke to the rest of my class afterwards also as many of them used the same method to answer these questions!
I cannot understand why as public relations students we are forced to learn about hard drives and modems when in my opinion I cannot see how we will ever use this information in everyday working life!
When i decided to do public relations i was under the impression that it would be mostly classes on communications and writing skills and I am now quite disturbed by the high level of computer skills require in this course!!
Well thats my rant for the day hope you all enjoyed because I did!!!

My weekend!!!

Well today is Monday my most hated day of the week:(
It was quite a busy weekend for me this weekend, I arrived home to mayo on Friday evening at 4pm it's a long journey to mayo, four hours to be exact!!After apending a few hours catching up with my family I went down to visit my friend Brendan where we spent the night watching The Late Late Toy Show!!Very interesting i know!!I eventually made it to bed at 3am absoloutly wrecked tired!!
Saturday i began work at 9am, I work in a little restaurant in my home town of Swinford called "The Tara". Iv been waitressing in The Tara for the past three and a half years and I really enjoy my job because at this stage all the regulars know me well and I now have a lot of responsibility as I am the shop floor manager which means that I am in charge of all the waitresses and ensuring every customer is satisfied and well looked after.My favourite time of the day is when the work men are in for their breakfasts in the morning time they are all so funny and a great laugh!I was told on Saturday by one such workman that i was like "a little piece of heaven!!".I finished work at 7pm after a greulling ten hour day and went home for a quick shower and got ready for the night ahead!
I went into town at 9pm and met up with all my friends, we headed to our local pub "The Hopper". It was great because all our friends from another town called Tubber came down for the night too!!
When The Hopper closed at 2.30 am we proceeded to a house party in Tubber which continued on until Sunday morning......unfortunately for me i fell asleep and missed my lift home so i ended up staying there until 9pm sunday night watching Catchphrase and talking utter jibberish!!!
When i eventually arrived home i was so tired i went straight to bed only to be woken by my alarm at 4.30am this morning to get up and go back to the lovely Dundalk for college today!!!

College nightlife!

Well when we ,dedicated students, are not busy studying or completeing assignments there is plenty of partying to do!!
Since coming to college I have learnt a lot such as the rules of the drinking game "Kings", to how to get into every nightclub whilst still underage!!!
Lastnight was no exception!!It was a typical Thursday night in Dundalk involving many of our Public Relations class getting together in a certain house or apartment for a "few quiet drinks!!".
So we decided to go to Chloes apartment to begin the night for a few drinks first which also involved a strange combination of toasted brown bread and oranges as appatisers!!
A few hours and a lot of vodka later the gang hopped into a taxi destined for Silence nightclub!!!
In all it was a brilliant night but I dont think I should divulge anymore information about the night as it may have became quiet messy upon entering the nightclub!!!

Funny day!!!!

Well today i go up like any other day and went into college............however my lunch time was definately not the usual!!
I went home for lunch along with my friend Chloe only to run into the second year PR students in the corridor of my apartment!They persuaded us to star as nurses in their film which was part of their film studies project!!
We then spent the next hour learning our lines and putting on our costumes!!
I have to say we were probably the most unprofessional people they possibly could have picked for the job as we giggled everytime we had to say a line for the first five minutes!!After about an hour though we had finished and we decided seen as we were already all dressed up that we may aswell go to the bar for a few hours!!
However this lead to be a bad idea seen as we were two of only 10 people in the bar.......so.... as we sat there sitting to the boring romantic music coming from the juke box we decided that our day shouldn't end there!!!
So we walked to the centre of dundalk and started scouting around for a suitable bar to go to!!little did we know that it was only 5pm!!Along our adventure we met many humourous characters particularly one woman who quizzed us on our faith and our favourite saints!!!!
I must say it was a very random but funny day!!!1
