Just wondering if anyone had got an email yet saying if they're one or not ?

Pigwidgeon

I got an email nearly 2 weeks ago saying that we'd find out by the end of that week. Still nothing.

They're bringing it in this year. It was one of the things in James Williamsons campaign.

It's like the mentoring thing they have in most of the other area's first year's get paired[or grouped] up with someone a bit older than them [or a lot in kevs case :pac:] to have someone to talk to/show them around in the early stages of college

/knowing the campaign

But what if a mature student had to get shown around by a little dweeb like you, I bet he would strangle you..

If it was done properly it might be useful to a few people. Some first years can be in need of somebody to give them a helping hand. But I can see a lot of foxy first years getting paired with some poor sad sack that will end up their lapdog

No such thing, they're just post-leaving cert scum as far as I'm concerned. I think R. Lee Ermey sums up my feelings of freshers and undergrads in general.:pac:

I was a mentor twice. first time was great, I had a group of 8 and we got along really well. The second time was terrible as I had a group of 26 and the only way to organise them was to arrange them like a class. I would recommend against doing it. There was nothing good about it.

Lol!:D

The problem with our group is that everyone's laziness was contagious. Those were the days, Windsor Rd. was the ground zero for it all!:pac:

I went with someone to the secret lakes once, had I known it was for those purposes I wouldn't have contemplating going at all. Luckily one of the paths were blocked by construction. :rolleyes:
