Its Friday today and im delighted that it is!!
I was in Glasgow last weekend and I had a great weekend. My brother lives over there so myself and a few friends said we would head over to see him.
To make my week go from good to bad, I crashed my car coming to college Wednesday morning. I wasnt injured and the others werent injured thank god. But there is a lot of damage done to my car and Im not too sure if it is even worth fixing. My car is called Pauline and she is very sick at the moment!!!
Although that made my week a little worse than I expected, Im still in good spirits!! Its Friday today and its my birthday. Im looking foward to having a good weekend and hopefully next week will be a bit better for me!!
Thank crunchy its Friday!!!

Web Applications
I am quiet unhappy at the moment with my Web Applications class. I dont think I am learning that much - and as DreamWeaver is our main subject to learn in the module, we haven't touched on it since Denise McSweeney did it with us in week 1. We have to create a website and nobody knows how to do it because we don't know how to use DreamWeaver.
I dont want to be a spoilt child about it, but I am really unhappy in this class at the moment. I hope something changes soon for my sake and the rest of the class. Its not fair on me or the rest of BBADMIN.
He just walked out of our class!!

The X Factor - Week 2 of Live Finals
Last Saturday was the second live show and I'm loving it more and more every week!
Cherly performed on the Sunday show and I thought she was amazing! I was very nervous for her because she got a lot of bad press about it being live or not. Her dancing was brilliant and I thought her singing was better than what a lot of people expected.
When it came to Whitney Houston's performance I was expecting a lot better. I thought her dress was too long, and when the back came apart, I thought the whole performance was a joke. I didn't think she was fully with it either if you know what I mean!
Poor Ricky, but I dont think he was a great performer and he didn't have the likebilty factor.
I cant' belivee that John and Edward are still in the competition. I thought people voted for them last week just to annoy Simon and all the other "John and Edward" haters! They better go this week because all the other singers are a lot better that them two clowns!!
Olly was absolutely brilliant!! I love him!! He was really funny on the Xtra Factor when he won this weeks competition. He had to act 3 different scenes and he was so hilarious!!
Olly to win!!!

My Repeat Exam.
I have a repeat exam at the end of this semester. I carried it on form last year and it is Economics. I failed it again in August by only 7%. I was gutted that I didn't get 40% as I worked really hard to pass it during the summer.
Next Tuesday I have the 30% assessment in the module, so I am hoping that if I do well in that, I will pass it with flying colours at Christmas.
It is a really hard subject - for me. It's kind of like Maths, or Accounting. You either get it or you don't. People who understand it naturally have no problem with the subject, but if you are a person that just doesn't "get" it, it is 100 times harder for you to study it. And this is the knid of subject that I just don't get.
This will be my 3rd time sitting this exam - third time lucky! Hopefully!!

As we are now in week 6, college is getting harder and harder. With more assessments and assignments being given to us, I am feeling the pressure very much this week.
I have an exam today which is multiple choice. That wont be too bad but because there is a lot of material to cover, I am feeling under pressure today.
I had another exam yesterday. It was Web Applications. It actually went better than I thought it would, so I am quiet pleased with that exam.
One down and one to go!!
These assessments are only worth 10/15/20% but doing well in theses exams will mean that I could get better results at the end of the semester, and take a lot of the pressure off for me when it comes to doing the end of semester examinations.
The next couple of weeks will be hard, but if I put in a lot of effort and time into my work, I know I will recieve the results that I want and deserve.
Roll on Christmas!!!

The X Factor
Last Saturday was the first live episode of the X Factor where 12 acts were reduced to 11 on the live show on Sunday. And I am addicted!
I loved Saturday and Sunday's show. My favourite act this year is Olly. I love him! His mentor is Simon Cowell who is looking after the Over 25's this year. I think his category is the best this year. His 3 acts are very strong singers and are great entertainers. Olly sang "Angels" by Robbie Williams who was the celebrity mentor this week and performed on Sunday night. Olly performed his song brilliantly. His nerves showed at the start of the song but he gave a great performance and I want him to win.
There was a lot of bickering amongst the judges, especially between Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowel. I was shocked when Danni Minogue said that awful comment to Daniel Johnson about his sexual reference. I think she was out of line as his sexuality is nobody's business but his own. Although she did apologise on the Sunday show which was the right thing to do in my opinion.
I am disgusted that John and Edward were put through. I think all the other acts are better singers than the twins and I believe that they should have been sent home.
I think Stacey is very funny! She's just what the competition needs! I do think Daniel Johnson is very confident and maybe the comments that Cheryl and Louis said were right, but I still think he is a good.
The act that I am most excited to see next week is Miss Frank. I hope there is a bit of more funkiness in their act because although they were very good last Saturday, they didn't rap and I think people were a bit disappointed.
I'm looking foward to next weekend's show, mostly because Cherly is performing her new song. I cant wait to see what she is like, and I really like that song.

The Lisbon Treaty
Last week the country determined the future of the country by approving the Lisbon Treaty. After failing to get a "yes" vote last year, the Government brought it in again this year.
I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. I believe that it would benefit the country in a way as it would help us escape this financial crisis that we are in. On the other hand, I had a bad feeling about it as I think that in the future, more bad could come of it than good. I felt there was a secretive aspect to it where in the future we may be in the situation where we were not fully informed about the Lisbon Treaty and its hidden laws. We may find ourselves in the situation where the Government could bring in a new law or rule that the country never believed it could or would be brought in.
I voted "no" due to the reason explained above. I didn't listen to the "no" campaign as much this year as I know that a lot of it is made up. For example, the minimum wage dropping to €1.84 an hour. I didn't believe this for a minute.
On a positive note, maybe voting "yes" was a good idea as it will help Ireland to escape this financial mess. We need a break through, and as I am going on work placement in 2010, by then, hopefully, there may be more jobs available not just to me, but to the rest of my class also.
On the other hand, I do believe there was a hidden meaning to the Lisbon Treaty. I don't know what it is but I'm sure we will all find out in the near future.
