      it doesn't feel like 2015 was 8 years ago o_o

  2. Just back from a trip with the Faculty of Science into the woods and mines of rural Czech Republic, super fun but excited to get started with lectures! 

    1. Myouya

      Ooooh, are the lectures on any specific domain or a bit of everything?

    2. Metro

      So my studies over here are focused on geology with a bit in biology which is what I'm really interested in so I'm so glad to have the opportunity to finally focus on topics I love!

      Really lucky, I wish you the best! Biology is super fascinating

  3. Prague has been overwhelming, with falling in love with the city and then accommodation horrors and shocks, hopefully, soon it will be routine and I'll have my classes sorted and will know if I have the pleasure to complete a full academic year and then I can focus back on here!

  4. I have officially moved to the Czech Republic!!! Was a long day of travelling but wow is it beautiful. Staying with family atm until my student accommodation opens for international students!

      Congrats! Have a blast!

  5. Finally back in Ireland, was really an incredible journey and I cant wait to write a proper blog post about it all, unfortunately got a pretty bad sunburn all over my back so painfully suffering with that but heyo, only two weeks before I'm back on a plane to start another adventure!

      I look forward to reading the blog post. Sorry to hear about the sunburn, I've only had it a couple of times and it's really nasty.

      Glad to hear you made it back pretty much unscathed. Sunburns can be rough, though. I've had my fair share. Can't wait to read about your adventure!! 

  6. one of the hardest things in my life but yesterday morning at around 7am we reached the summit of the mighty Kilimanjaro, now time to relax 

    1. Animedragon

      Congratulations on a magnificent achievement. 

  7. A few hours until my flight! Security was a breeze, lets go conquer the 17th highest summit!!

      I wish you all the very best in your endeavour.

  8. Visa accepted for Tanzania woop woop, 2 weeks! 

  9. Really procrasniating my Spanish work placement report which I'll need done before my trip to Kili or I'll be fined 100 euro per month by the University and fail the year.... so many pages so little motivation. 

    1. Animedragon

      Animedragon

      That sounds dire. I didn't know you could get fined for not turning in a report. It's a pretty steep fine too.

      Sometimes I'm really glad I didn't go to Uni, there were no such things as personal computers and word processors back then and my handwriting is so bad it would be a challenge for GCHQ to decipher!

      The Uni I attend tends to be questioned a lot for its methods of money making compared to other ones in Ireland, it's one of the only ones here that charges students for resits (I believe it's 250 per exam luckily I've never had to experience that) 

  10. Got my accomdation for Prague!!! unfortunely I seem to have been given the one furthest away from the department I'm studying with and also the most run down one but oh well

    1. Animedragon

      Animedragon

      That doesn't sound good, but at least you have got somewhere to stay.

  11. Yesterday I was planning on what my Sunday would look like in Spain, but before I knew it, I had to pack 4 months of my life into a bag within 30 minutes and make the last flight back to Ireland. Life is so unfair and I am so angry and upset I didn't get to say goodbye. RIP Dad 

  12. Living in Spain has really messed me up when it comes to anything other then working and living in Spain, I've lost all ability to multi-task and have absolutely no idea whats going on back home. Even here I barely have the time to check back here!

  13. Officially in Spain for 4 months now, really loving the atmosphere and enjoying the 2 minute walk to the beach, really good mind and body detox and keeping the diet strictly healthy atm

      Sounds like a piece of heaven. I wish I could know the feeling, but I'm still happy for you. ^^

      I've honestly never been to Iberia but I hear that Catalonia is really nice.

  14. Sometimes we just need a little help

    1. Kōyamaki

      Kōyamaki

      ....unless it's the type of help that we don't need.

  15. "but now we’re at 100 my hands aren't on the wheel and i don’t wanna lose this moment"

  16. Flights are booked! I'll be living in Spain working (part of my degree) for 4 months in about a month! :D

      The Iberian Peninsula probably isn't the worst place to be at in Western Europe at the moment. I think I would rather be in Switzerland personally though.

      Spain was my only main choice for working abroad in my degree so I was happy to taken the offer, better then being sent off to Donegal with no pay and having to find my own accomdation while trying to afford it, so when I got the offer to teach English through sports with it being payed work, free accomdation and free food for the week on the beatiful coasts of Spain I was more then happy to accept 🤣

      I understand.

  18. Been stuck doing a Geography Assignment and I decided to do it on Scotland, specifically the beautiful Isle of Skye, and I don't know if it's the late night (3:34am) or the stress of this essay but I really miss it, it's like I'm forever lured to it, anyway got me a wee bit emotional 🤷‍♂️ 

     

     

  19. Applied to study palaeontology in Prague, if I get it then I'm most definitely Ross from Friends

      Something tells me that you had another unstated reason for desiring a trek through the terrain of the 'Dark Continent'. Nothing wrong with that. I have always been intrigued by the fact that it is a veritable land that time forgot.

  20. Saw The Cure last night and wow was it amazing! 

    1. Kōyamaki

      Kōyamaki

      The Cure...as in...this Cure?

      That's completely understandable!, even just sharing the link and spreading the awareness is amazing help to the cause! :D

      Oh ok. I could still c&p the link on my facebook. I've got friends that have incomes I'm always jealous of. lol

      Posted on facebook, but I don't have an overabundance of friends so it might be hit or miss. I tried though. ^^

  23. There's moments where I'm always active on this forum and then other times I'm just lurking. 

  24. I started back at college and have been really enjoying it, but my job has been making everything difficult and for some reason I just cant seem to get out of it.
