Week Four at CIT

Are we here already?? Writing about my fourth week in CIT and i have to say it is going fairly lively. Week four at CIT was productive as usual with plenty of stuff to be commenced and thoughts gathered subsequent to those events. There was a mixture of highs and lows throughout the week, which can be expected and will still continue to kick on no matter what.

Let's start on the modules, i have to say everything is going sound at this moment in time. For example Computer Architecture and Programming aren't hitting the slippery slopes of the last few weeks and i feel i am beginning to recognize the notions of the subjects. At least i have some understanding because there is nothing worse than listening to a lecture, having no idea what they are explaining. For Creative, Innovation & Teamwork i'm still proceeding at the first assignment which is due for this Friday however i'm fully confident it will be completed by then. We were also set up into teams for the group project. It's is turning into a fun class i have to say as my teammates Robin, Matt, Ronan, Patrick did a group exercise last Friday discussing what items we would take if we were lost at sea. The team as a whole did their best and got an alright mark, lets just say, on our ranking points. I was also made leader which is cool and it should be fun in the proceeding weeks.

Work is going as swell as always. Had a 2-9 on Friday and for once had Saturday off which was brilliant as it was my first Saturday off since i started in CIT. I had a clear run of the day and made it worth while of course!!! ;) When 8 o clock hit it was time to watch that World Cup Qualifier i mentioned last week, Ireland vs Italy. As mentioned earlier "A week of highs and lows" Well here is the low, a smashing game with Ireland taking the lead through a Glean Whelan ROCKET but Italy made it 1-1 not too long after. The game was going through the motions following that, however in the 87th minute Ireland scored via a free kick through a Sean St Ledger header to make it 2-1 to the Irish with three minutes + stoppage time remaining - not much left, well Italy scored three minutes later to draw the game 2-2 which sends them straight to the World Cup and leaving Ireland to negotiate a play-off with the likes of Russia, France, Portugal or Greece. It would of been a famous win for Trap's army however i'm looking forward to the play-offs now. The draw is made next week, Greece would be the best team to face next month however it would be great if we had the chance to knock out the French. We shall see!!

So there we have it for this week. I'm sure things in CIT will be hotting up in the coming week as we have a few assessments to undertake soon so it will be the chance the obtain a few precious marks for our final result. Won't that be fun!!! :)

Till another time.
