    I got a thing of postits, is that the notepad?

    And yeah the 3way highligher is a pretty stupid design, have to hold it weirdly to make it work.
    But it's free so I aint complaining!

    Did anyone go to the Art/Design talk?

    the highlighter was alright, i don't complain about stuff i get for free.
    the skoool pens are quite good anyway.

    wish there were more things on offer, could have used some exam papers :)

    My school isnt going at all! The guidance teacher is going up and getting a bunch of prospectuses for every college, bringing them back down and handing them out, being a year of nearly 160 including 13 repeats, thats one heavy car on the way back:D

    Typical dubs :rolleyes:

    We're leaving at 6am. I'm going to the 'careers with law degrees' talk and then the canteen. Do they have hot food there?

    I wonder if there will be cutbacks on the amount of free stuff this year, in light of the recession et al? :pac:

    Castlebar is a town that sucks all ambition and drive from your soul. Stay clear of the place. :o

    They both suck equally in my opinion. Mantra or Quattro, oh decisions, decisions. :cool:



    Edit: Does anybody know how much they are charging for entry to the higher options. My sis is going thursday and her teacher is charging her a tenner. It was free last year iirc!

    My school is taking 5th years to it seeing as we got to go last year which I thought was only because there was no standard Leaving Cert group before us. I assumed that they were going to bring us this year too but apparently not.

    If I cared more I would go by myself. :pac:

    I'm from Athenry and we have to get the 7 train to make it there relatively in time for the lectures, and not leaving till around 4/5... All I want to see is the Studying in an Eastern European University and get to a few stalls.

    What decent pubs are around that general area for the rest of the time I'm there..? I don't want to get back on that train without a few in me...
