FINALS ARE FINAL!

I have filled my head with more knowledge in the past 2.5 weeks then I have possibly ever.

Thank you Kieran, Colleen, and Nikki for putting up with me this week. We've all been especially moody, over worked, and under slept but, I'm happy I had you three to study with. =)

Now, it is day two of being a normal person again and I still haven't fully figured out what you're supposed to do with yourself if you are not studying. But I am getting there. Yesterday, James, Kieran, Colleen and I all went to Belfast for the day. The christmas market was beautiful and we spent the whole time eating way too much food. It was definitely worth it but, unfortunately I didn't get much of my christmas shopping done (I'll have to try again today) and I left my phone on Jame's kitchen counter so I didn't get many photos. Thanks Colleen for the photos!

It is so beautiful this time of year. =). I plan on making it to the Dublin christmas market either today or tomorrow. I'm sure I will have many more pretty light pictures. =)

To wrap it all up, a list! The funny things we have said while studying:

- Adenosine triphosphate, why does that sound so familiar?

         (for those of you who aren't science majors, it is ATP, the main energy source for the body)

- Do sheep have tails?

        The answer is yes...

- The first president was Washington, then Franklin???
- I just had a brain-fart on what an exclamation point is
- The scan-tron has A-Z, there are 24 options!
- I want to name my dog Dartos. Why? Because it causes the wrinkles and folds of the scrotum and no one will know
- She kept coming in the question to ask me kitchens

- I am not going on facebook until this exam is over....

        This picture was taken immediately after the aforementioned statement.

I'm sure there were so many more, but I honestly can't remember. 

Also, we finally got our class sweaters. Makes me feel that much more official =D

4 out of 9

4 of my 9 exams are complete! Only 3 more classes to test for and I couldn't be more excited. So far, my studying has paid off. I'm just about halfway there.

=)
So.
Much.
Studying.

Studying

Outside, it looks like this:

And I'm stuck inside doing this:

16 more days until I'm homeward bound =)

Revision Week!

It is revision week here at UCD which means for the past three days, and for the next 4, I have been and will be doing nothing but writing notes and studying. My hand is probably going to fall off before the end of this week. Either that or it will be permanently cramped in writing position. (Maybe I'm being a little dramatic.) But, hopefully it is all worth it. Finals are so stressful, they give me nightmares...

Luckily, I was able to sneak in a little break yesterday. Glenomena (the residences) had a christmas fair/ pig roast last night. It included all of the holiday amenities such as food, mulled wine, hot chocolate, minced pies, giant inflatable snow globe, bucking reindeer, and gingerbread men. It was so nice to have a break. Photo credit to Natalie. Thanks for taking the picture =)

Honestly, I may have been a little too excited about the giant snow globe. But, seriously, who wouldn't be. Unfortunately, now it is time for me to get back to studying and Dawson's Creek reruns.

Good Luck to everyone who has upcoming finals!!!

PS- My time with Jason was super great. We didn't do anything too spectacular but, we did go to the Savoy Theatre which is so nice, and really fancy looking. Catching Fire was such a good movie I was sad when it ended. It was really nice to relax and spend time with him. Only 19 days until I get to go home and see everyone! =)
