4 a.m., 1,000 words to write, and feeling miserable. Time to roll out the theme song… I hate my degree.
I Kan’t Study

Before I was too tired and couldn’t stay awake; now I’m taken on too much caffeine and I kan’t concentrate on his Critique of Pure Reason. Yes, this post is all about the pun. I crack myself up…

It’s close to midnight on Sunday, and I have about half on my Marxism essay that was due on Friday written. I have none of my other essay written, and I don’t even know what the title is. This one is due for tomorrow. Fortunately, I have a plan. I’m going to turn in the [...]

It’s not easy to write essays when the recommended sources read like this.
Plan of Campaign

I have two essays due for Friday and all I’ve written is the introduction to one of them. I ought to feel about as calm as Bucket Seal. Fortunately I have a plan, although it pretty much amounts to fraud. Basically, I’m going to hand in one of the essays on Monday (along with yet [...]

Since yesterday, practicing this has been the overriding goal of my life. Come on cynics, what say you of my latest plan?
Opening Hours

If your sign says you’re open until 7:30 then stay open until 7:30. Or else change your damn sign to 7:22…
House Party

It could be a historic night. There’s an American theme. BYOB. Update: Just to be clear, this is Liam‘s house party. Nothing’s happening chez-moi.
Sleeping Through College

(The following post is big on self-indulgent rambling, navel-gazing, and half-baked analogy, and short on substance. And I probably come across as very lazy. And there are too many semicolons as well.) You know those mornings when you don’t have anything pressing to attend to, so you stay in bed for as long as possible? [...]

Having emailed the guy in charge of UCC’s grad med programme a few times, I’m not so sure I want to do it now. It sounds like the grad med students would be pretty much cut off from the main med course, and there’s a big emphasis on self-directed learning (as opposed to lecturers) which [...]
The Communist Manifesto
Posted on January 31, 2008 - Filed Under College, Philosophy, Politics | 5 Comments
I’ve finally got around to reading the damn thing, that vile source of so many of the 20th century’s woes. Frankly, I find it totally redundant in today’s world. If Marx ever did have a point, then over a century of incremental societal reforms have taken it well and truly away from him. Now his [...]

Two days on, and my newly rediscovered ambition to become a doctor remains undented. Does anyone know where I can get a crash course in first year university biology?
Super Tuesday Party

There is a decent to very good chance that one or both of the US 2008 presidential election candidates will be known by the early hours of Wednesday next week. Given that Barack Obama stands a great chance of becoming president should he prevail over the Clintons’ dirty tactics, February 5th (Super Tuesday, the day [...]
Dr. Boland Redux

This is the latest idea to take my wavering fancy. It involves taking a GAMSAT test, which I know little about, and which I would have only until the 15th March to study for. Since I’m such a glutton for punishment these days I find this challenge oddly appealing. I’ve no idea how difficult it [...]
Staying Or Leaving

Central to the pressing matter of what I’m going to do next year is where I’m going to do it. Sometimes Cork doesn’t seem so bad, but other times I want to bolt directly to the other side of the world just to get away from its drab buildings, awful weather and various other minor/major/absolutely [...]
