Like most college students, our weeks can be very different as each week passes. This week, I will give you an account of what I did in and outside college.
Thursday– Today, I had college; it was my late starting day, so I went for a walk before my day started as I am doing the 100 miles for the Irish Heart Foundation this month and wanted to make sure to get my miles in. Today, I also got the news that I received the Galway Traveller Movement education award and was in my county newspaper for an activist boot camp I did last month. After my day in college finished, I went to the cinema with my friend Kelly and watched All of Us Strangers.
Friday– I was up extremely early this morning as I was getting the bus from Eyre Square back home. When I finally got home after 3 hours of a bus journey, I spent time with my mum, and we went for a walk to the beach. Later, we collected my sister from school. I spent the evening with my sister, watching Friends on the TV with her.
Saturday– I had a five-hour first aid training course with my karate club today. It was excellent to learn how to properly do CPR and mouth-to-mouth and react in other serious events. When I got home, I worked on an assignment due on Monday. We went for a family walk, had dinner, and spent the evening watching a film on Netflix.
Sunday– This morning, we went to mass first thing. I then went on a five-mile walk as I find walking good physically but also good for my mind. I finished my assignment due Monday and then played Monopoly with my sister. In the evening, we went out for dinner. We watched Play Hard or Die Hard Trying on Netflix for the night.
Monday– It’s RAG week and reading week in college this week, so I’m staying home for the week. I submitted my assignment on Canvas and went for a walk. When I returned, I started another assignment due later in the week. We have our law society meeting every Monday on campus. As I was at home, I joined online, and we discussed the current events coming up. I watched Friends on Netflix with my sister and did some reading.
Tuesday– Today, after my mum and I dropped my sister off at school, we went to Castlebar to do some things. When I returned, I worked on some of my assignments and presentation and speech for an event I am speaking at later in the week. I had an online meeting with the members of the CERV project I am involved in, as the project is being nationally launched on February 28. I spent the evening finishing the due essay assignment before watching Love Island All Stars before bed.
Wednesday– I went for a walk in the morning to the beach and back. I then got an exciting email about something happening next month, so I spent a while responding to emails. I made sure I was happy with my speech for tomorrow, also. I had another online meeting with the CERV project to finalize details and information for the project launch. We had dinner, and then I prepared for the event tomorrow and went to bed.
Thursday– Today, I was speaking at an event with the No Shame project in Longford, so it was a very early start. We got to Longford around a quarter to ten. I was speaking early in the event, which I was pleased about because the nerves before you speak in front of everybody were nerve-wracking. After the event had ended with the over two-hour journey home, I had another assignment due Monday, so I started some of this assignment. I watched Yes Day on Netflix with my sister and went to bed early as I was wrecked.
