Crash's story was the ****

cuckoo

If there was a category for best story at the hotly-awaited boards beers i'd vote for crash's story. Still can't believe he did what he did, or even got out of the bed in the first place - i'd have stayed put in the nice warm place of sleep.

One of the rare few times that I actually laughed out loud. I like to say lol and mean it.

cuckoo

If one were to orally pleasure the Devil, what one would be swallowing is the exam i sat today.

*insert many swearings*

it's not big, and it's not clever - but i really want to swallow a pint or two of whiskey and forget about it; but i can't because i have to get up tmw and study for my next exams.

*random curse thrown upon the lecturer*

no, just tired and narky. drunk has to be delayed until the exams finish on wednesday.

ok. i heard yesterday's physics was a particularly difficult paper.

cuckoo

I didn't find physics yesterday too bad, did nothing special with it, but think i've passed.

It was chemistry today that was evil - none of the 'sure cert, been on the paper for the past five years' questions were on it. Grrrr me for cutting the wrong corners, grrrr the lecturer for replacing the nicer questions with demonic scrawlings of Satan. :mad:

Ah, well, have a chance to make up marks in Chem Paper 3 next week...

Don't forget the nuclear chemistry and the bioinorganic stuff. That and quantum were my favourite bits of chemistry. The rest could go hang.

the nuclear bit would have been fine - if we'd been examined on it. it was completely left out of the paper, and that was my 'i'm banking on it' question. still seething about that. :mad: <---at myself as well for assuming it would come up. it being examined for the last five years and all.... :mad:

there's some quantum for the next exam, that's usually ok.

(now i really hope i won't be back here in a couple of days eating my words about that one...)

ApeXaviour

The great thing about quantum chem is it looks really hard. As hard as say a physics quantum question. But it just isn't! Always ends up working out to a nice handy answer like 1 or something..

Really? I would failed chemistry if that had happened. Well maybe not fail but come dangerously close.

I just bought a hot chocolate (my umpteenth today. Has been a very chocolatty day) from the vending machine a la hamilton. I then decided to get something different, as in a Honey Flapjack from the vending machine beside it. I didn't consider how broken it would end up falling from the top to the bottom.

Stupid stupid stupid...

why does everyone become a socialist in college? or is it just our college? we're supposed to be the elite, but why do so many people believe in such common ideals?

It's studenty, if that's an adjective..

If you want to stereotype; students tend to be idealistic, ask questions such as "why is there needless suffering/poverty etc. while fat-cats get rich by exploitation". Continuing that line of thought then older people become more cynical and selfish.

I think these stereotypes are a bit silly. There are far more environmental/personal factors which lead to ones personal politics. Take UCC (our most conservative college chris, maybe you shoulda gone there ) for example or the fact most of the older people I know are ardent towards lessening the gap between rich and poor. They're far from communist, I'd be more careful about lumping socialist/communist together to be honest. I mean labour/Sinn Fein are hardly communist..

i could never believe im better then anyone else because of the college i go to or course im doing. people who go to trinity are no better then those who go to other colleges, or those that don't go to college at all.

perphaps people with insecurity issues need "a form of status/ badge" etc to make themselves feel more important then everyone else.

importance, or perception of self-importance is merely a figment of the imagination, becuse in the end even the richest/ most influential people will still end wipping their backsides and going to the toilet, just like everyone else....

power is a nothing more then a delusion of the mind and a creation of the hierarchal western society we live in today.
indeed having an esteemed title/ an esteemed career might make you more disatisfied as you realize how many other aspects of your life you can't control, eg getting old, failing health, unrequited love....
i think money or precieved power fade into the horizon if your surrounded by people who love and care about you, rather then people who seek to use you for their own gains.
luckily i am one of those people who is surrounded by good friends and family and i realize if i had a choice they would always come first in my life because i believe there is always going to be some things that will outlive monetary/or material pocessions.

i can read between the lines that you probably support socialism then. come right out and be proud. dont be afraid of offending people with your beliefs. we're all on the same side here as we all seek justice, so lets be honest in our debate. i take the position that lessining the rich/poor gap is not part of the governments obligation, which ends at defending the constution. most socialists come from well to do famlies and are just rebelling as well. tell me, what does your father do?!
