Week Ten at CIT

It is fair to say that we are in crunch time. This is the time that matters most, the present, things need to be done, pick up those marks and move on to the next semester. That’s the reality. Its is so easy for your mind to wander off however its all about keeping your focus, the reason why I’m hear.

The week was eventful from both a college and partially weather point of view. Things are busy at the moment with everything, putting in my hours to ensure everything is done. Algorithmic is due Wednesday and I nearly have that complete, just one hitch to fix. Programming we will be having our final exam tomorrow week so I hope to do well in that as its worth 50%. I managed to complete my Networking and Programming for the Fridays deadline and I’m happy enough with what I handed up. Just going back to programming sometimes I feel I’m capable then I ain’t, just that instinct so I managed to obtain a book form the college library last Thursday on C++ Programming and I have to say it is lending a hand, it takes me back to the basics, why this does that, I am happy I decided to read up on it cause it could do me well in the future. We have been doing example programs with Jim this week which he says will be similar to the exam, I managed to take note of a few of them and I have to say I’m understanding programming more. I hope this development will continue.

The weather was shocking from last Wednesday to the present day, Thursday I just about managed to make it home and on Friday I couldn’t make it cause the city was in a bad state. It was the first day I missed and the good thing was that I managed not to miss anything important. Cheers for the info Kev!!! :) I’m hoping I can make it for tomorrow because I want to get that Algorithmic finished for Wednesday.

I have to say last Wednesday night was a heart breaking for me, I really take pride in watching the Irish soccer team, to think about it, it was probably the best performance I ever seen from the Boys and they levelled the scores in Paris to 1-1 on aggregate with a lovely goal form Robbie Keane. We had plenty of chance to win the game however France managed to score in extra time with a goal that NEVER should have been allowed as Thierry Henry handled the ball TWICE and then set William Gallas to score the winner. It wasn’t the goal itself that disappointed me but it was some of the Irish players in the end crying partially Damien Duff who had a mighty game, the game of soccer is so cruel and I nearly don’t feel like watching it if that kinda thing is happening. It was so unfair on our players who are so honest but that’s the way it goes. FAI were appealing for a replay but that just aint going to happen. Life must go on. Trap is still a legend and I hope he will lead us to the Euros in 2012 because he is the man for the job. What a performance!!! :)

Anyway I better be going. Everything is busy at the moment and I am liking it I have to say cause they isn’t nothing better than having something to do. Let’s hope I get it done!! :)

See ya
