    Your mum doesn't seem to think so ;)

    On a different note, why
    are we back in college today, Jan 4th? For christ sake Christmas hasn't even ended yet! I would have thought the 11th would have been time enough to go back.

    I've no idea - Christmas does not finish tilll the Wise Men have to go into the crib on the 6th :D

    Its so cold and slippery, I've a tutorial at 4, that I probably should have changed to three, so I'm in the library doing some "work" :D

    Actually I was thinking over Christmas, that we should have some sort of a boardsie hunt in the library, basically one of us is somewhere in the library and gives clues as to where they are and what they are wearing, and first person to find them wins. Make it harder by getting the person to move, but post the movement online - I could imagine the chaos! Twould be fun though!

    I'm wearing a Pacman hoodie right now, so I'd be easy enough to spot. ;)

    Go out the main gates, walk towards the city, once you get to Jurys, the Connolly building is across the road.

    Cheers, I assumed that was the building just wanted to be sure. Bit of a depressing dump. :(

    Yep it is depressing - I've the "joy" of being present in said building at 9am on Tuesday, both last semester and this semester. The only thing that was going in it favour was the lovely quiet computer room (which was always invaded by us Sports Studies students for the 20 mins before the class :D ) Anyone know if it is back in use??

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

    I get a 7.30 train to get into Cork on time, which means I'm out there at 8.15, which is a bugger :( But the computer room opened at 8.30 which was grand. Can't take a lter train cos I will be stuck in traffic getting there on the bus

    on a way off topic note, how come when mods like Orizio or KnifeWRENCH (had to include him!) post a new reply and I get the notification that it simply reads "has just replied........" without their username?? Not just UCC mods, but every mod? I'm being serious.

    Is it just my hotmail, or does it happen to anyone else?

    it's an easy enough walk from the train station, and no need to worry about traffic then.

    on another note, that last stretch from Gaol Cross to the WGB has been extremely slippy the last few days. bring on the thaw!

    Footpaths in general all over the place have been awful. Thankfully they gritted the one on College Road going into Brookfield, that was like a skating rink yesterday. But I don't know how many times I almost fell this morning walking from Tara Lawn, through Glasheen Road and Lisieux Park onto College Road. The paths were absolutely lethal.

    The ones outside Connolly are very bad this morning, walking back into college was a nightmare. The ones by the train station are quite bad as well I heard, before Christmas they were lethal and still are from what I hear.

    Two of my friends drove in, they were grand driving in, but nearly killed themselves getting out of the car, slipping on ice! I[ve to walk to WGB this afternoon, hope they have thawed out some bit by then!

    I was in a tutorial then, I;d have come up and said hello otherwise!

    I'm wearing a Cork jersey in the library, here till about 2, so if anyone wants to distract me away from the "lovely" essay I'm doing, you are more than welcome :D

    the one down to the tile centre from the station is brutal, specially right at the end where the slope is quite steep. they gritted it yesterday so it wasn't too bad today. it's still dodgy though.
    I[ve to walk to WGB this afternoon, hope they have thawed out some bit by then!

    these weren't as bad today, but I hear the temps will drop to 0 again around 4 this afternoon, so I think they might get slippy again.

    no - it's awful quiet.
    the boss said noone turned up to one of his lectures yesterday, and that was a dip class (so normally very good about turning up).
    I think that lots of people just can't/won't travel at the moment.

    I didnt have a class till 3 so i wouldnt know :pac::pac::pac:

    Although instead of giving us the three hour lab they gave us the ten min lab safety talk that we've heard a million times and told us to go home. I spent six times as much time getting to college than i actualy spent in there...
