UNIVERSITY CASBAH CORK
(there may be alot of typos but i am too tired and it is too long to read again lol)
(and please read at least the end, some bit of gossip there, starts with the *****)
Destiny was jealous of CIT so offered me a date with it(UCC) today.Well i must admit i quite liked it. While CIT was an ugly bore, i did find myself interested in UCC. I started today by meeting in the boole library and was on my own. As me being the only Transition Year going i was very anxious that i would be bored and not really be able to talk to the 5th years going.While i waited in boole, with weezer blaring in my ear, i noticed that the girl standing next to me was asking me something. She too was with none of her friends and we immeadiately began to talk. Her name is Julieanne and is a fan of many bands i like. But this isnt too interesting so i will continue on with my day.Accompanied by Julieanne we registered our names in group e and we were taken on a tour of the Maradyke.So very interesting that was, NOT. It was quick and boring and we all soon realised that our group leader Damien knew nothing about anything and cursed in every one of his sentences.What a charmer!
With nothing else to do we were taken for our quick snack that lasted 40mins.Hmmm! I must admit, UCC were pretty good, they gave us 1.50 voucher for a snack.
After my quick energy boost of tea, neurology was where we headed next. And i must admit i found that interesting. We were showed the brains (pictures) of people who suffer from mental and nerve diseases which was kinda cool and I saw the cells of the brain under a microscope and many more confusing but cool things also.
Next came lunch. This time a 5euro voucher, which is very good as there were like 250 of us so congrats to UCC who unlike CIT treat there guests well and dont make us pay for lunch. I unfortunately was too late for the chicken sandwiches and had a very horrible slice of something that remotely resemble Kiche(sp?) and chips. After the uproar over lack of rolls we continued to a maths science discussion and well done to the speaker! He kept it very interesting believe it or not, i thought i would be out for the count but no i was listening attentively.
After that we moved to the "Chemistry Magic Show". It begun with a very lifeless discussion of the degree and when that was over the magic began. I must admit i never thought it would be said, i had more fun at the chemistry section then i would have if i went sailing!
The show was a safety inspectors nightmare as the smoke dectectors were disabled and the lack of fire exits. But it was class. So many explosions who could complain, helium balloons being turned in to raging fireballs, fireworks both in a jar and in the smokey air taking off and ear aching pops of elements being burned and purely class spectactles were all witnessed with the very comical element of the professor preforming many of these tricks (with the aid of an different assitants from the audiance). I watched ballons be shivelled by liquid nitrogen and be resusitated by the warmth of the air. I admit i was deeply impressed. Sadness is that i cannot remember exactly all the experiments i saw, but i surely hope i do eventually. I dont think i can capture the actual amazement of that show but i will be surely praying i can witness it again (or in an unsuspecting science class)
*****For whom this may concern, i was walking home from ucc and i decided i needed some tunes to listen to!Weezer of course. So i stopped outside of a shop and i looked in to it for no reason in practicular and i saw a very popular teacher. A certain mister o gourgeous gorman. I think it was him, i couldnt look at him too much because i had already caught his eye and i didnt think i should stare. He was also in the presence of a girl and when he left i turned around and he was hugging her and they looked "close". Now here is my interpretation, there are either at least two mr o gormans in the world and if so then all yee who fancy him have twice as much of a chance of getting with him lol, or now you have even less. I personally dont care because i dont like him but i thought i would inform yee all!
over and out, this shareef is shattered, gawd i need sleep,( and its only 5.20pm)but at least it starts at 9.30 tomarrow, so over and out people!
