How was your first Day Back

Riamfada

How was everyones first day back? Im in my second lecture already and my pants are chaffing. Im sooo Bored!!!! I need to book a holiday

JustCoz

I only had one lecture so it was fairly painless, home now for the rest of the day. Only have 9 hours this semester, its so sweet!

UCD have it easy. I was back in this hole (CIT) last Monday and was brain-dead 10 minutes into class.

Stabshauptmann

Turned up in plenty of time! Maybe a little early
Got the latest family guy off a lad in my class, priceless.
Saw kittenkiller and had a hot choclate and light gossip. Tisk tisk.

daram

Hmmm, I just gave the latest family guy to a lad in my class!

Well I haven't had my first lecture yet! But I'm already pissed off with O'Briens... they left my spicy beef hot wrap standing for 10 minutes behind the counter after I'd paid before giving it to me

Only had the one lecture today which is finished so just hung about. All in all quite a good first day back.

Waltons

Fairly good. 9 o clock start wasn't very pleasant but I'll probably get used to it (or just not go in).
Started Joe Kiniry's course today. He seems like a cool guy!

BKtje

Only had one lecture and the lecturer seems "quirky". Could be a fun module but i do forsee a lot of work for the project. That would be the same Joe Kiniry that Waltons had (surprising since we both do comp science)

Red Alert

it's painful

Waltons

He mentioned that people thought it was too painful last year, so hopefully it won't be as bad this year.
*fingers crossed* :eek:

B-K, he's pretty hardcore too

BKtje

One thing i missed about UCD was the women and their bare legs. There was one at the bus stop who had that morning decided to wear what i believe was a mini-skirt type thing over which she wore an long coat. She looked absolutely frozen but was a pleasant sight while waiting for my m8's bus before cycling home

EDIT: yeah he said he was gonna make it less "hardcore" than last year. Seriously he loves that word and "Quirky"
EDIT2: He said that he had had problems sending mails from UCD to hotmail... ya think gmail would be alright? Else ill have to bitch slap some people into giving me my various passwords to various email accounts.

Scraggs

oops kinda didnt make it to my nine lecture [same one as waltons i think] -2006 not lookin good is it!
Eh wasnt too bad really have a double Irish which is a bitch...
Oh yeah have to do psychology because i was kicked out of the french class because i did it for junior cert....sigh.....
My fridays off timetable is fucuked oh well i'll just go home thursdays as usual i suppose....

Great day...

Chatted to boneless and Peacheh this morn, before my first lecture on The Troubles in N.Ire: From War To Peace or something along those lines.

Was here in the daedalus for a few hours after that, then Core History lecture, after which myself, boneless, peacheh and a few non-boardsies b*tched about how us 3rd years are getting well and truly boned by the establishment wit all the sh*te they're foisterin on us wit only a few months of our degree left.

Then just smoked, chatted and froze for a while chattin to a few peeps.

Great to be back!

I've got Kiniry for our project too... he seems like a bit of a nutjob! (in a good way, of course) I'm hoping it won't be too bad... but it looks like the sort of thing that will get more and more painful as time goes on.

I was supposed to have a three hour lecture from 3-6 but the guy never turned up. Who can I complain to?

He seemed to say 'coook-ie' (as opposed to cookie) a lot too. Looks like his lectures could be interesting if that first one is anything to go by.

Damn that 'group' project thing though - it seems not getting to know anyone doing C.S. has come back to bite me on the @rse. I'll be one of those fools who has to be paired up with people by the lecturer himself!:o

BKtje

Ah sure u can probably join myself and chris (not on boards).

humbert

so much for resoultions, was in the bar by 1 and going back now, well I'll start academically tomorrow:p

Mr.Nice Guy

Was late for my first lecture at 9am. Naturally. Then I had a lecture at 12 and at 4. I'm knackered now.

I found out I might have a presentation due in for Wednesday which I haven't started so that's a pain in the arse. Oh well.:rolleyes:

Yep, I'm still absolutely fuming over this. New course, lecturers seems pretty clueless as to whats going to be done, and no sample paper being provided before the exam. :mad:

Yet again we are the History departments guinea pigs and theres no way in hell we should let this go.

They have to provide a sample paper.....its our final fúcking year for god sake! "Your essay questions will be a guide".....eh I dont think so!
Not unless they're planning to ask us to compare and contrast the opinions of four historians in our exam, since thats how our essay questions are being asked. (another new thing they brought in for us lucky people in final year....."hey guys, we know its your last year so we've decided to change the way you do your essays just to really fúck you over.")

Right now, I hate this college. :mad:


Oh and on a side note....did anyone else get handed a free admission flier for PODSOC? fúcking podsoc???? A society for events held in the Pod nightclub?!"!
Sounds like some savvy business dealings on the college's part. Unbelievable.

Farcear

came in for a lecture and found out that i've nothing else now till wednesday evening

Riamfada

I hear the plight of you third year history students. And Grimes wont let you down. I will TAKE TOMORROW OFF! as protest against the distasteful manner in which you are being treated..... see ya wednesday

It's actually 'too'. It's very simple.

First day was grand for me. Double Philosophy first thing on a Monday morning is not the best way for me to meet the new week though... I can see that being a bit of a downer going into this semester!

Nope, "to" is correct.
Since we're being pedantic though, it really aught to be "To whom can I complain?"
