Introduction to the life of Eva

My name is Eva Garrett. I am 20 years old and I live out in the countryside in Meath. I live with my Mam, Dad and younger sister Rachel. I also have a dog named Bonnie who's 7 years old.

(Home image of my doggie) I am currently studding Creative Digital Media in ITB, which is soon to be TUD. Before I done this course, I done a PLC in Social Studies, that was a year that made me see that I really don't want to be a social worker or do anything in that field in fact! So, I decided that a more practical course would be more suited for me and here I am in CDM. What I love most about this course is that we don't constantly have our heads in a book and we aren't been driven into the ground with 3000-word count essay one after another. Within this course we are able to put theory to practice and to learn by failing, maybe more times than we would wish. One of my favourite modules I have done so far is Web Development and Web Design, one that many others in the course seem to despise. I just really enjoy the fact that we can start from a blank page and end up with a full website, out of something that used to look like the Chinese language to me! Throughout this year I want to push myself a lot more than I did last year, and actually challenge myself to try new things. Outside college I usually just spend a lot of time with my friends, as much as I love my family I'm rarely at home. I don't have much hobbies, mainly just cause I'm Lazy as I used to play sports when I was younger. Over the summer I got to spend three months in America which were definitely the best three months of my life so far. I was on a J1 visa, so I fly over to Chicago where I lived with 9 of my friends in a house in Lincoln Park. We stayed in Chicago for just over two months. Settling into the American way of life was very easy, especially getting to share their love for food! I worked in one of Chicago's most famous restaurants for its Chicago style deep dish pizza, which I started to hate very quickly, I ate way top much pizza my first week there. After our two months was up in Chicago I was devastated to leave but also very excited as we headed to the West Coast, which was on another level. We rented out a seven-seater 'Mammy wagon' as we called it, and we spend three weeks driving around different parts of California and also a couple of places in Nevada. It was an experience of a life time and I would recommend everyone to do it! Looking forward to more travels next year..
