Its been a while since I’ve posted anything new and so long that its disappeared off my recent entry list in firefox.
So whats new in my life:
Leaving Cert Mocks start on the 5th of Feburary.
I. am. fucked. and yet strangely calm about it. Its just a piece of paper at the end of the day and there are always another way of getting to do the things you want. For college I’m looking at Computer Applications in DCU followed by Computing in DIT.
I got an email from Flightwise telling me that groundschool is starting shortly and I’m debating with my parents should I do it or not because it might impact on my leaving cert. Sometimes is so tempting to shout out NEWSFLASH DON’T CARE ABOUT THAT. I’M ALL ABOUT NOW AND THATS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AWAY.
I have some books on the way from Amazon of which one is the Cisco CCNA book. I’m hoping it will go along with the 2600 Router and Catalyst 2950 at the end of my bed and allow me to get a CCNA before the year is out.
I have yet to book my driving lessons which I should really do so I can get out on the road to be raped by the insurance company.
Robb is having his wedding reception on Saturday. Its finally here after all the planning etc. Congrats man!
Thats all I can think of for now but it appears Gavin has tagged me. Arses! I’ll come up with some new stuff to beat the curse.
I also have a beta invite to Joost and I really haven’t had much time to play about with it but can someone tell me what actually content is there? I see like the Paris Hilton channel but is there any channels which show the latest episode of my favourite shows like 24, Stargate (both), Prison Break etc?
Also nominations are open for the Irish Blog Awards. So pop on over and make your vote count!
I’ve come back to Amsterdam to find a letter addressed to me in my own handwriting with the Dublin corporation logo on it. I knew exactly what it was….
Hurray my provisional driving license has arrived! I can now drive a car (assuming I have a full license holder with me) anywhere in Ireland (except motorways) and being in Dublin, thats a very bad thing. I have the M50 about 5 minute drive away from my house. A good friend of mine lives out near the Clearwater Shopping Center and guess whats the easiest way to get there? I need to schedule a full driving test so in about a year I’ll be able to get a full license and not have to deal with all this bullshit.
Now its time to bend over and get insurance.
After booking online for my provisional drivers license theory test (which is outsourced to the UK) I was given a test date of 05/07/06 at 9:45am. So I took the morning off to take this test and get all the necessary paper work done. (LET ME DO THIS ONLINE DAMNIT) I went into the test center at 9:07am considering I’m working on the other side of the city and have nothing better to be doing in town. The guy on reception asking for my name and considering there was no one else there, he let said we’ll start, so I confirmed my details, had a photo taken and went into the test room (after putting my phone and stuff in a locker)
Flicked through the practise test (which doesn’t actually give you any questions, just how to use the system) and started the official test. You have 40mins to do 40 questions which isn’t bad. Seven minutes later I was sitting down again waiting for the result, seeing the guy nod his head made me nervous, I was thinking how in the fuck could anyone fail this test. He waved me back in and congratulations you’ve passed 38 out of 40. So now rambled around to familar territory to find the Luas which I got onto and was in Tallaght in about 25 mins, which is pretty damn good going by anyone standards. Heading out to Vision Express to get my eyes checked again (only after three weeks) I got all the necessary paper work. Now all I have to do is queue up in the Tax Office to apply for my license and I’ll be allowed to drive! (After getting raped for insurance of course)
