It has really hit me on the Sept 1st that I am not teaching as I saw the students coming out of Moyne College and Murdeachs at lunch time. All wearing brand new uniforms as they take their first lunch break. Looking forward to going back to college first time as a part time student. The course I am doing is M.Sc IT in Education see http://www.cs.tcd.ie/courses/mscitedu/index.htm

currently reading Howard Gardners Frames of mind.

As the score was 2-2, it went to extra time where two goals by Emma M and a wonder half way line strike swung the game in Robes favour. It finished 5-3 It was fitting that Katie accepted the cup.
