By the time you read this most of you will have now settled back into routine, finished exams or maybe even still studying for ex-ams! Thank god Christmas is over and what a white Christmas it was! The snow affected a lot of people travelling home for Christ-mas. It took me over 8 hours to get home to Donegal when nor-mally it would be only 4 hours or so! My bum was sore afterwards and to make matters worse I forgot the Christmas Tree I had bought for my Dad on the bus! >:( Oh well!
We also had to cancel our Christmas Party which was a great shame but you can't take risks with people's health and safety! An-yways, we have a exciting month for you in February!
Then we have our first joint party with the NIDYA on the 19th! Re-member book your place for this event ASAP!
That's all from me folks, so talk to you next month :)
