Final stretch…

September 9th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in College, General News

I am working on my dissertation at the moment, finding out just how woeful my English grammar is, and I stopped for a moment and thought about it. I am finishing up writing this thing, I hope to be pretty much done tomorrow, get it printed and bound and handed in before Monday. But this time two years ago I was just about to start Union, was back in Queens getting registered for my course, meeting new people, new teachers, new students, about to embark on a huge effort of arts and humanities based work (help, I’m an engineer!!!) along with a part-time job at a software and web company (phew, I’m an engineer!!!) and now I have finished my part-time job a little earlier than I had hoped, so I could finish my degree, and am literally days away from finishing all the work and toil. Then it is a matter of weeks til I find out if it’s been successful or a waste of time.

And that’s just a sub-narrative… I mean a sub-plot, sorry… too much dissertation…

Oodles of Noodles…

August 15th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Church, General News

This week the Holiday Bible Club was on in the church, so there were 150 odd kids running about and screaming each morning…  Great fun…  I was only free to help three of the 5 days as I had work, and I have fallen a little behind on my dissertation as a result.  But it was great fun really!

On Thursday I left the club and headed off to Belfast to go to the library at college.  I arrived in the town and hunted for a parking space (building work has the college parking restricted to staff etc), parked and abandoned I left the car and strolled down Botanic avenue to get some lunch.  I was thinking about getting a sandwich, but I remembered a small noodle bar I noticed there a week or two ago and decided to give it a go.  On arriving I spied the chalkboard rendering of “try our ramen!”  Now I love ramen!  Ramen is delicious!  So I hastily ordered some up and waited eagerly only to be presented with a bowl of soup with slim udon in it… definately not ramen…  It was still tasty though!
