Friday 8th August 2014.

Its Friday again!! Where are the weeks and the summer getting to?  Its well into August already and examination results and college are looming large in the lives of the women in this household.  Both my DD's are heading to college this September, as I am also:)  My younger DD is awaiting her Leaving Cert results next Wednesday 13th, and all going well will get a place in UCD.  My older DD is starting a year long course in Animal Care and Husbandry, which she hopes will lead to a place in UCD in September 2015 in their Veterinary Nursing course.  Fingers and toes crossed then.

I met a friend early this am for coffee which lasted over two hours chatting and catching up.  Had planned to get grocery shopping afterwards but by the time I got petrol, I had to head home to bring DD2 to work.  She finished her early shift at 5am this morning and was in again at 12 noon.  She is back in again at 10pm to night to 7 in the am.  She works in an american diner/restaurant and it stays open 24 hours at the weekends.  Poor pet she has had a lot of hours this week, as they are short staffed but it also means lots of pay !!

This afternoon has been spent watching the Show jumping (Aga Khan competition from the RDS) in Dublin and trying to find details of the cores/option modules that I have for my MA for September 2014-2015 but all I have are for 2013-2014 or 2010-2011 GRRRRR :(  I have finally resorted to contacting the Office in UCD but hate doing that as I dont want to look like a thicko, that I've missed something or should know whats what !! I have to register for my courses on Wednesday so want to make sure I get the ones I want or that the ones I fancy will be available when I go to register.  Ah well all will be revealed soon enough, just want to do stuff I like iykwim.

image from www.google.ie showing the Puissance competition, held annually at Dublin Horse Show and is on tomorrow, sadly won't be there tomorrow.  Its an exciting comp as they make the wall higher and higher and the person who jumps the highest wins it (obviously !!).  The Aga Khan is on round 2 and we are 7th so not doing so good at the moment :(

Namaste
