Your UCD plans for 2009?

Mr.Nice Guy · 31-12-2008 6:07pm #1

Every forum needs one of these threads right? :cool:

As we draw a close to '08 what are your plans for the New Year? Off the top of my head I'll say...

- Make sure I plan out my essays better and not have any more all-night panic sessions (not bloody likely but still)

- To graduate hopefully!

- Attend more events

- Make one of these UCD beers

- Achieve world domination

- Hit the gym

- Find Hugh Brady's secret stash of gold in the forgotten mines...

- Figure out what to do after UCD

What about all of yous then? PS Happy New Year to all of you folks attending the greatest college of the greatest country on Earth.

I'm currently hovering around a 2:1 degree but if I really work my @ss off I can make it a first, so I might try that if I'm bothered.

Bought some weights in the sales so I might open those at some point.

Also, somehow bring an end to global recession

I'm hoping to enjoy my course a bit more.

I said i'd only carry on to my masters if i was 100% sure it was what i wanted to do and I had an awful time from October onwards with it. Just did not like it. So i'm planning on giving myself a good kick up the bum with it.

Maybe I'll try take in at least one social event...maybe!

And I pray to Whedon that the man himself Joss shows up as promised by L&H! That'll be most important thing happening at UCD this year for me...

...excluding essays, exams and the thesis obviously.

Keep the head down, try and enjoy as many aspects of my course as possible, and aim to minimize the amount of work I have to do at exam time.

Also, try and get a few long-term books on loan early! Did that last year and renewed them about 10 times each

Money saved! I don't think anybody bothers requesting/reserving book, I certainly don't. Happy days.

Abolish the STUDENTS UNION. :P

pass

Brimmy · 01-01-2009 4:57pm

Wait what? Let's back up here a second, Joss Whedon is meant to be coming? Will this be another no show like Patrick Stewart? Anyone from the L&H want to comment on this?

New plan: Eat Joss Whedon's brain.

Finally get the **** out of UCD. One semester to go.

Apart from that - study my arse off, start using my gym membership more and actually find the free weights, and try and cut down on how much money I'm spending on a daily basis.

- Finish the second half of my Erasmus in one piece, hopefully even improve on the first semester

- Reacquaint myself with the library, work me hole off and get something close to a first (or a first...that'd be nice too).

- Somehow make enough money so I don't have to worry about it, preferably without having to work :P

- And...um...have a good time!

Have. a good. time. All. the time.

Well, in September he was one of the mentioned names. I thought Joss and Eckhart would be no shows but since the latter showed up I have much hope!

-Get more involved in societies
-Actually take part in Get in Gear after paying €40 for it!
-Get a UCD hoodie

Generally get more involved in the college experience really.

Dave! · 02-01-2009 12:05am

I shall add:

- Wear the UCD scarf that my parents bought me for Christmas!

Riamfada · 02-01-2009 12:41am

-Stop buying UCD society hoodies as I never wear them and they make you look like a filthy hobo

-Finish my Thesis

-Stop getting involved in societies. It was fun at first but three years later im funking exhausted

- Be more impulsive (ask someome out, start a fire ect)

Not sure the creatine-fuelled jocks would like that

dajaffa · 02-01-2009 3:29pm

Graduate and set about finding myself some sort of employment!

Chakar · 02-01-2009 4:25pm

I plan to finish the second semester and write my thesis over the summer. I'll keep up with the societies I'm regularly involved in and plan to get involved in one other society.

Halfway through 2nd year Structural Engineering, and I just moved a lot closer to UCD. A good thing too, since this coming semester I have only one hour of lecture on Thursdays. Otherwise, I expect to spend more time on campus. Probably in the Library.
