    Tá ceist eile agam; what happens if you don't do your exams in Erasmus because you want to go to the Euros? Do you have to do the repeats in your Erasmus university or do you do repeats at all? asking for a friend...

    God I really hope we get our timetables tomorrow, I need to see if I have a 9am on Mondays so I'll know if I can stay up for the Royal Rumble or not :(

    My timetable was amazing last semester and I feel like I'm going to get an awful one for my final semester.

    I don't see how it would take them an extra week to sort it this year! My hope is it will be up this evening :/

    Yeah I think it will be another week because I'm tutoring this semester and the co-ordinator said no times have been organised yet..

    18th would be so late :/ I need to psyche myself up so I need it weeks earlier :P haha

    I hope I'm wrong and my sources are based off of YikYak so, not reliable at all...

    Aww no I'm going to be really disappointed if we don't get them until the 18th! I just need to know if I finish before 4pm on Friday or if my semester is going to suck.

    My whole timetable is awful. Not finished until 6 on a Friday which makes getting home a pain. :(

    I've 17 hours, though I think I'm missing some. Only a one hour education lecture a week in 4th year doesn't seem right, even though there's a two hour tutorial.

    Though whoever decided what rooms lectures are in need to be shot. I've a lecture in main building then a tutorial straight after in HS one day, then another day I'm in Foundation, Kemmy and Schrodinger one after the other. That'll be fun!

    I have a one hour lab which seems really odd for a Science? I have the same lab again for two hours later on in the week.

    26 hours, could be worse... I could be in Architecture

    Your one hour lab is probably actually a tutorial. If you check the UL book of modules it might help clear it up. http://outside.ul.ie/bookofmodules/

    Apparently they used the dates instead of weeks cause there's always confusion 2nd semester with the week off for Easter being counted as a week by some lecturers and not by others. The fact that they got the dates wrong adds to the confusion .

    I do know Easter is earlier this year - it's in March but I still think the dates don't add up!

    If that class on Friday evening is a lab/tutorial, it could probably be moved/cancelled. TA's and lecturers don't like being in on a Friday either. :P

    It's a lab but it's only on once in the week AFAIK. I can get home but it's just such a pain travelling later on in the day really...

    I managed to have a free Monday last semester by moving a lab but this semester all my days are packed :(

    Their site says "Our Counter Service is open from 9.30 - 12.30 and 2.30 - 4.30 Monday to Thursday and Friday 9.30 - 12.30 and 2.30 to 3.30." but whether that applies when semester isn't in session I really don't know.

    You can always email them at saa@ul.ie I guess

    Sure just try the machine anyway, you can always use a friend's ID number if needs be, know lads who did this if they left their card at home or whatever.
