Hey,
So its Week 12 already and no one can believe how fast the three years have gone by, never mind this semester, its incredible yet a huge amount of material was covered in each module, unfortunately for us as we prepare for the final exams in two weeks time. We are also preparing to leave the lovely Quinn behind as we embark onto further study or jobs, both nostalgia and a sense of excitement is in the air. However, I’d love to stay for another year and others have said the same, which is a testament to the Quinn experience, the lecturers, staff, students and building all make for a warm and welcoming atmosphere which is difficult to say goodbye to!
As usual for exam time, the sun is shining and we have to forfeit this rare warm weather in favour of books, notes and highlighters but it should all be worth it in the end! We had a lovely night out last week for the Farewell Ball where all final year Quinn Students and lecturers enjoyed great food, speeches, spot prizes and dancing in the Royal Marine Hotel, definitely a night to remember! One lucky birthday girl even got 500 people singing happy birthday to her and got a huge chocolate cake!
So while exams beckon, there is always room for some fun and relaxation!!
Talk soon,

We’re into our final two weeks of lectures now. Time really does fly.. it only seems like yesterday that we were starting college! The last week or so has been quite hectic (as most weeks are in final year). We had a case study to complete as part of our continuous assessment for Strategy Formulation and Implementation which was challenging given the time constraints, however, it was good preparation for the exam which was a bonus! it also was a nice way to apply what we had learned so far to the case itself.
Last Wednesday was the presentation of prizes for the Leinster Society of Chartered Accountants Case Study which my team were lucky enough to win. The presentation involved the presentation of the prizes themselves along with taking some photos first and then up to one of the boardrooms in Quinn for lunch with representatives from the LSCA and our lecturer, Prof. Peter Clarke.
Tomorrow we have the farewell ball which is taking place in Dún Laoghaire at 7 o’clock even though lectures only finish at 6 for some of us! It’ll be a bit of a rush although buses have been organised so it won’t be so bad. Some of our lecturers for our Friday classes have been very accommodating and have rescheduled our classes for different days so we don’t have to worry about coming in early on Friday! Although in some cases I think its more so the lecturers themselves don’t have to come in after the ball!!! In any case we’re all looking forward to it, lecturers included.
