Rose of Tralee

Well it’s over for this year and that means the same old questions/headlines emerge : “Should the rose of tralee run next year? .. Isn’t it a bit embarrassing in this day and age?”

IMHO it should keep running until we get roses when asked to locate Tralee on a map ramble on like:

I think this is hilarious… It kinda reminds me of my Irish leaving cert exam – the essay part – no matter what the starting sentence was – I worked in my memorized essay. aahh good times.

Speaking of leaving cert and all.. The First Years arrive monday… the majority of which were born in 90 / 91.

Usually (for me) Graduation time is a fantastic inspiring week and it brings a tremendous buzz about the place. The buzz is even better when members of the centre are graduating! So a big well done to Paidi and Adil who graduated yesterday. The only downside to graduation is it inevitably means people moving on. This graduation was a little bitter-sweet – I see it as bringing an era to a close. Along with Paidi and Adil, Joe has finished up, so has Francesc, mgb is MIA and Edu is heading away (after 7 years) to take up a post-doc position.. it will be really quite now with you guys gone. See you soon and in the meantime stay in touch..
