I'm disgusted. I'm not surprised those jingoistic Beef-eaters are still acting like Irish people are British nationals, but the fact that yee lot go along with it sickens me. My family members didn't kill 'Tans just so we could go off and play frisbee with the Crown, like good little subjects. Tiocfaidh ár lá!

Well, we do live in the British Isles. Nationalism is all well and good, but the occasional bit of geographic practicality doesn't hurt either.

Topic: Doctor tomorrow. I'm so bloody sick of being sick.

When are they? Surely there's a certain time they have to be finished by? (Why is this musical event held so close to exams anyway? Seems ridiculous)
Feck this, living in college is supposed to make studying easier, yet I've never experienced so much non stop noise. If I didn't have classes next week I'd go home until Friday. :mad:

I completely forgot today was a bank holiday, and stayed up so I could go in early. Was NOT pleased to find out that all was shut. Just as well I was able to meet friends for lunch and hang out, otherwise I would have been fairly ****ing pissed off at myself.

I've completely lost my sense of time - a few days ago, I started freaking out that it was one week before finals (it's two weeks today before my first one). On Sunday, I completely missed my bus because I had thought it was Saturday (and hence looked at the Saturday bus times, not Sunday).

Didn't you hear Nothing Compares?

One of my lecturers keeps giving me mid 2:1's for articles that I write for her class, and when I get the comments back it's always stuff like, "Great writing, but would have like to have seen what you thought about Pat Rabbitte's recent makeover(?)" and other random girlie crap like that which make no sense in an opinion piece about Labour's potential coalition partners.

Groargh.

I was going to post a rant about having to be up late typing, but my internet went dead for a while, so now it's a rant about still being up really really, early typing.

Double moan: My laptop is held together with silver sticky tape, and the monitor only stays perpendicular to the rest of the machine thanks to a piece of string. Whenever I go to move the power cord which keeps coming out of position despite also being held in place with said tape, the monitor keeps slamming down on my fingers. It's really, really annoying. Damn to not being able to get a new laptop because I know Vista has to be as full of software issues as every other new piece of microsoft/windows software.

Moral of the story: Don't study at Warwick

My shoulders and neck are ****ed and I have no idea why. Everyone was hammered. Horribly. You probably fell foul of dec's funhouse though. I managed to escape, apparently.

Should be beside the entrance to the Maths Department (about halfway along the corridor, at the bottom of the stairs).

just email helen, mathdep@maths.tcd.ie and ask her

for the record the notice board is more or less opposite to the salmon/synge lecture theatres they are on either side of the entrance to the maths dept there.

I figured if phone didnt work, email wouldn't either, they told me to go to the board...

ok... so if salmon is on my right, i look left for the board? and it's on the wall, i dont have to go in anywhere right?

thanks guys

Yep. They are the first noticeboards (if entering on the ground floor of the Hamilton through the white 'bomb' doors, and then swinging right down the large corridor) with a glass/plastic covering on the left.

Nothing shocking! I had an open receptacle of alcohol in the Hamilton, while helping a friend look for her lost phone, and security (just following protocol I suppose) booked us.

I'd say it'll be fine, though. It's more the hassle of having to go to the meeting etc, rather than the principle of it.
