DAY 280

Jun 8

1) Today has been a nerve wrecking day for me. We had been informed that our results would be released somewhere around this week, so wait we did, for most of the week. Then, two days back, we received notification that our results would only be released at the end of the week. Not counting the weekends, that meant that we would get it by Thursday or Friday.

2) I, for one, was quite concerned with my results as I felt there were one or two papers that I did poorly in. And the last thing I (or anybody, for that matter) wanted was to have to take the supplemental paper later next month. So you can imagine the anticipation that had built up, right until this morning when I refreshed my email list (for the umpteenth time) and saw the message pop up that our results were out.

3) By the skin of my teeth, I managed to obtain First Class Honours. It's definitely a wake up call to focus more on my studies, and not to get caught up in so many activities for the next academic year. Anyway, I have three months to contemplate how I'm going to balance my studies with other activities haha.

4) My research begins this Monday, so I'm definitely looking forward to it. The following nights I'll sleep that much more soundly now that I've finally gotten my results. To all my friends at RCSI who are reading this now, firstly thanks for visiting my blog - I really appreciate the support and love - and secondly, I hope you got the results that you were hoping for. For those who haven't got their results, all the best! That's been my day today, and thanks for reading. Cheers!

Congratzz to all the graduating students from RCSI :D

It has become customary for me to have a nice cup of Nescafe at night haha

Dinner from Pablo Picante ^^

DAY 135

Jan 14

1) Today has been another "normal" day for me. I woke up late today, had a quick breakfast and then left for the library. I was preoccupied with my my daily cycle of surfing the Internet and watching videos online for the better part of the morning.

2) Later on, I met up with my good friends Nee Kee and Stephanie at their apartment. They had just come back from Malaysia after a month! I am sooooo jealous XD. Anyway, it was fun catching up with them until lunch. I had Boojum's burrito bowl for lunch, a welcome change to my otherwise monotonous diet.

3) Came back to the library in the afternoon, and spent a long while Skype-ing with my parents. It's still hard for me to get to grips with how quickly time flies. It feels like just yesterday I touched down in Dublin, and yet here I am, about to start the second semester coming Monday. Random musings aside, I had my power nap soon after, and awoke just in time for dinner!

4) The night was spent cycling through the usual process of listening to songs, searching online videos, updating this blog, and of course revising a little anatomy - just to keep things in motion. Some cookies, orange and a coffee later, and I was back home in my lovely apartment. I will be cooking meals for next week, and that means I will be sleeping later than usual today. Oh well, it's not like I'm complaining haha. That's the end of my blog update, and I hope you enjoyed reading. Have a great day, cheerios!

Toast for breakfast :D

Boojum tasted soooo good after such a long time ^^

Pasta for dinner

DAY 65

Nov 5

1) Today was a typical Saturday. Woke up to have my breakfast, before video chatting with my dad. Connection was pretty bad towards the end, so we stopped shortly after. Went up to study for a couple hours, before deciding to go out for some fresh air.

2) Had lunch at Boojum. Today I tried the pollo (chicken) burrito bowl, and it was marvellous. Tasted better than the chilli con carne and beef barbacoa which I tried previously. After that, I went grocery shopping at Tesco Baggot. Bought extra cookies for my trip to Mt. Errigal soon.

3) Came back to have a short nap, then studied till dinner. Tonight, I cooked rice with Scotch egg and veggies. Simple and delicious, just how I like it haha! Going back up to study and relax again, so I'll end on this note. Tomorrow I'll be going shopping with my friend Khee Heng, and I hope to get another pair of shoes too. That's all for today, and thanks for reading! Goodnight.

 Pollo burrito bowl for lunch today!

 If it ain't broke, don't fix it XD

DAY 44

Oct 15

1) Today was a long day for me. Woke up to have breakfast, before trying to study. Covered some chapters by afternoon, before deciding to pay Boojum a visit.

2) Lunch at Boojum was great. I ordered the burrito bowl which cost me €6.00, but was really filling. Afterward, I went to Tesco Baggot to get my groceries for the week.

3) Came back to have a short nap, before continuing my studies for a bit. Then I went down to prepare food for dinner. Today's special was spaghetti with mince meat in tomato sauce. Tasted really good on a cold day like this.

4) I couldn't bear the noise in my room, so I came over to Mercer, where I am studying at my friends' apartment. Will be done soon, then I'll walk back home to my apartment, for a good night's rest. That's been the gist of my day, and while not the most interesting, I hope things will get sorted out soon. Goodnight!

 Big bowl of cereal to start the day!

 The trees look so beautiful this morning!
