Had a guest lecture thing for Electronic Resources: two people from Lendac came to talk to us about databases or something. One of them looked like Linda Fiorentino. Very attractive.

Got my essay back from Dr. O’Shea - 61%. I’m quite pleased. He was actually quite happy with it - something I was a bit nervous about - and of course I’ve taken his criticisms on board. (A few of them I kinda realised about a week after I handed the essay in, and the others will help me to study the topic better for my exams, as is the idea.) He got the impression that I’m interested in the subject area anyway, so that’s a big plus.

Went to the USIT office to get a proper application form for the Canadian J1. I was told there that there aren’t many visas going; just over 100 was the impression I got, which is a major bummer. I have to think about what I’m going to do on Monday night. I’m seriously considering getting up in the middle of the night and getting a taxi to UCD, to be there by 5 or 6am. I’ll ask what the story is regards queuing on Monday.

Of course, my essay comes first! Bright and early start tomorrow morning.

I’m very full from a big meal right now, so I think I’ll go lie down for a while.
