No way, José

I have finally found something to say no to!

Since starting my course in Ballyfermot, I have actively tried to take part in everything I can. I am that mature student who puts their hand up for everything. I am making the most of every minute and doing as much as I can in the hours I have away from my responsibilities at home.

As well as my course work, I have helped out on a live TV broadcast, I did the sound recording on the filming of a concert, I’ve even appeared in a film for the SFX students. But, that day has finally come – I found something that I will not do.

I will not do RunaMuck. There is not enough money in the world nor any charity worthy enough for me to even consider doing RunaMuck. I know my limitations. But more than that, I’ve learned how to say no to things I don’t want to do and that is a great lesson to learn.

    And breathe

    It’s been a lot. Christmas, a birthday, everyone has had coughs and colds and sore throats. We’ve all been home for too long. We’ve done our best to get out in the fresh air every day, but the weather has been shite and it has been a chore.   I breathed a huge sigh of relief…
