Sketches, Markers and nice Students

Well, it's been ANOTHER long while, as I sort of aforementioned in my previous post.
So, yeah...
...
Uh...
Yeah, so, I have a new YouTube channel started, called OgdenFace, where (hopefully) I shall be posting my sketches and stuff to. Just random little doodles, spur of the moment type of things. I currently have one video up, though that should change quite shortly.
Speaking of doodles, my room is at the moment being subjected to much, much promarkering of random mathematical equations and the suchlike, like the equation for the graph of a loop-de-loop, and the fact that 16/64 = 1/4 when you cancel the 6s, because, y'know, that's how fractions work.

Now, the main event of this summer for myself and fellow students around both Ireland, and across the world, is going to be CTYI.
This three week long course is one of the big highlights of a CTYIzen's life, the meeting up of old friends, the making of new, the exciting and interesting learning experience...
And spar.
But it all goes so quickly, so fast!
So I've decided to try to make a blog post every day of this marvelous adventure.
I probably won't actually make another blog post until the course starts, being over a week away.
So until then, I bit you a good... Uh... Week.

Adieu.

Ok, I've had enough.

I have been waiting for MONTHS for some of the blogs I follow to update.

I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
And did they update?
Lemme check NO.

So in a fit of utter frustration, I'm going to update mine.

Summer is nearly at its end, sadly. The trees of rich green are slowly decaying and dropping their crisp brown leaves to the ground, the weather losing its summer shine... And worst of all, school. But not for another week or two.

After being in france for a week or so with my friend Macdara and his family, we traveled across the border into Spanish territory. We parked our rented car in an underground car park and surfaced, looking at the building we were under.

The Salvidor Dalí Museum.

And so we went to the main desk, got tickets, and strolled inside.

AAAAHHH.
I DON'T EVEN.

So after our near torturous visit, we left Spain, on a plane, back to Dublin airport, where we were driven home.

Two days later I arrived in DCU for a three week course of awesomeness.

CTYI was set up many years ago by Colm O'Reilly, and since its establishment, some pretty crazy things have happened in there.
Firstly, you have all the different traditions, you have all the memorable places, the discos, the trips on Saturdays and Sundays, canteen food, and the ultimate week as well. You have Tranny Tuesday, Pirate Wednesday, Dressing gown Thursday, and Formal Friday. You have the activities, you have quotes, you have all the wonderful notes at the end (Thanks to all who signed mine :P) And you have the reunions that follow.

But most importantly, you have the friends you make there, and the memories you share together, and nothing, in my opinion, can beat that.

Well, maybe Fiachra.
