    So everyone, how'd your first day go? Did it live up to expectations? Wasn't my first day, so just a normal day for me...

    It was quite good; the modules look like they'll be interesting. I was surprised at the amount of people in my Irish lecture.

    Yeh folks, the first two weeks and the last two weeks of the semester are usually the busiest, in between these two periods (and holidays of course), it's pretty quiet. The wasters will find their niches in the market (getting gee-eyed till the essay is due or till the exams). The busiest days of the week are Monday to Thursday. I miss the place already!;)

    And you actually found parking at 12.30?! I'm impressed!

    Don't bother trying to park on campus. There are roads within easy walking distance of the campus where you can park for free and easily. I did it for 4 years.

    Anyway my first day was LAST Monday in Cappagh Hospital out in Finglas. I won't have a day in Belfield till December. I kind of miss the place.

    I would probably appreciate the place more if I went to bed earlier.

    I had 4 hours between lectures on Monday. I walked around the same building about 5 times and sat somewhere and played Pokémon. I got annoyed because I couldn't find the move deleter man. That was the most eventful part of my day.

    I wish more people I knew decided to go. Away with this new friends nonsense. :pac:

    Everybody in UCD looks and sounds the same. And I mean that. I cannot tell people apart, it's like God didn't have enough models for the NPCs. :P

    Sounds like you need to get over to the blob in the Arts building.

    i actually really dislike UCD, im a british student, so after a week im leaving tommorow. I dont like the fact that most people here just find UCD a beer fest the rooms are noisey and cant get to sleep till 2 in the morning cause of the noise. So gonna go back to england ands study over there.

    thats a bit unfair.
    it must be tough being a student from a different country.
    its tough being a new student in ucd when your from the area , never mind when you leave everyone you know and start in a new college all by yourself

    thanks for your support leesmon, unfortunatly ive havent found anyone that really is like me, and havent really meshed with anyone else. Perhpas i just feel intimiated like you said, being tough being in a different country, are you on campus or anything? im in roebuck if you want to say hi, anyways i would feel better being cloer toh ome and really i would perform much better if that was so, i think i didnt really give it much thought when i decided to study in a diff country.
