For the past four years (including a year-long hiatus) I have been writing a semi-regular column in a newspaper called Sin, based in NUIG, the National University of Ireland in Galway, Ireland. It started as a savage look into the life of a (somewhat) average Arts student and grew from there, it is now printed as ‘Diary of an arts graduate with Paddy Garcia’, since I’m no longer a student. I use this blog as a place to store the columns for reference and to share them with a wider audience. If it’s your first encounter with me, I suggest you start from the first column since there are over 20,000 words in the entire back catalogue. Start at the beginning or read the latest entry.
