    hmmm.....well i have a hell of a lot of reading to do over the 6 weeks and a 4,000 word seminar essay which is worth 12.5% of my final english grade :(

    apart from that, it'll be lots of sleep, drink and ICE-SKATING!!! :p

    No plans really... I've only got like just over 3 weeks off :( That's not alot :(

    But on the plus side, all you > 1st years will have to worry about studying and sh*t, whereas us 1st years can't, cos we don't start our other 6 modules until after Christmas :D No guilt, I love it!

    What to do... what to do... what to do... I'd like to go camping actually... it's very cold for that though :o

    Ahh I don't know, I'll think of something! :D

    Work, go out, work, maybe go to boyfriend's parents house in the bogs, work some more.
    And of course there's exams til the 22nd. Damn you UCD!

    Go home-yay!I cant wait to spend a good three weeks at home.There is no place better than the limerick countryside at this time of year.I'l probably help dad out with the cattle a bit,putting them in to sheds and feeding them etc.Then will probably do a bit of cooking cos dont you find its always the chef in you that comes out at this time of year(well cept for beanyb:D ) Then will sit by the log fire sipping (fairtrade) hot chocolate and watching tv movie on rte.Hate heading out when I go home cos tis the season for rest.However,stephens night is a ritual by now-head down to whispers the local nite club-best nite of the year!

    First of all, cram for my exams until Dec 22. Then work a lot, and play games until my eyes bleed. Of course, going out too, and sleeping a lot.

    work loads to get the finances up to a less negitive level then bring myself back into a negitive level with a trip to utrect. hopefully


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,151 ✭✭✭beanyb


    ah 6 weeks off... it's the greatest thing to ever happen!

    Though stupid work may get in the way of my doing absolutely nothing for all that time!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,010 ✭✭✭besty


    santa, a.k.a jimmy o'neill, the finance lecturer has really made my christmas by having the god forsaken exam on the 22nd. I also have a 5000 word commercial law essay to get tucked into over the "break" Ah, the joys of college life....That said, I will be Bollo*ed drunk on numerous occasions as I turn 21 over the break too....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,059 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Not finished till the 22nd :(

    Then i can either have xmas in dublin or head down to the freezing cold back ass of nowhere which is my moms house and huddle around the fire till i get a train home.
    For new years a m8 of mine has invited us down to his holiday home in westport (we usually go during the summer but hes away so its a winter one instead) which id say is gonna be brilliant.
    drink and ICE-SKATING!!!
    Really pushing that idea huh :p

    2 Projects.
    1 for Politics and Nationalism, the other for Latin American Politics.

    Plus an essay that woulda been for this Friday but I got an extension:D
    So I probably won't hand it in til March at this rate...:rolleyes:

    Aside from that, I'd say sleeping would be a large part of it yeah...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,059 ✭✭✭BKtje

    You're just being a grinch. Get into the christmas spirit. Ask for a copy of Lyall on Land Law from Santa.

    As for your essay, what do you mean you haven't finished it already!?

    *tick, tock*

    I will be cramming three weeks of festive spirit into two days after the 22nd. And then I plan to recover from spirits until we're back. Pretty much. I may start climbing the walls at the beginning of January though...
