    Oh God I hope I get Actuarial Studies in UCD - I'm only 15 points clear (it was 530 last year, 555 :eek: the year before). I don't mind getting my second choice, but I found the perfect digs beside UCD today!

    I would pull an all-nighter but my Debs is tomorrow and I'm guessing I'll need the rest. :p

    Anyone doing Commerce with German or French in UCC?

    Gots me some pirate movies and a sheet load of nachos; roll on 6 am!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,819 ✭✭✭dan_d


    Why are you staying up all night?

    Surely just getting up at 6am would make sense if you want to find out ASAP? Staying up all night isn't going to make it come any faster, if anything it'll prolong the agony....:D

    Doesn't make much sense.

    Im going out tonight till 4am so its not too bad for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    I'll be at a sleepover so definitely staying up the whole night :D I really want to know if I got the course or not!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,659 ✭✭✭unknown13


    I am not in the mood to stay up. If I stay up and accept the offer at 6, I might make a balls of things. I will accept the offer in the morning when I wake up instead.

    Best of luck everyone - I'd forgotten all about my all nighter to check out what points were in the paper being scanned...


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 7,395 Mod ✭✭✭✭**Timbuk2**


    There's two 24 hour newsagents here in Dundalk (that I know of) but I don't know what time the papers arrive at. I'm guessing they wouldn't arrive until around 6/7am though - they would all come to Dublin first.

    The papers are printed in Citywest in Dublin. So your probably right.

    Places like Leixlip and Maynooth might get them the quickest since they are within close proximity to Citywest.

    ah i'm nervous for you all and and a couple of people i know waiting on offers, im also dying to see the points for the business courses for next year i'll be applying for, i'm already nervous about this year, i'll be fine once i get into it and start working


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    I'm in Dublin, i'll drag some people to Tesco in the morning and see if I can get a hold of a newspaper. It's worth a try.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators, Motoring & Transport Moderators Posts: 7,395 Mod ✭✭✭✭**Timbuk2**


    You're probably right! I might just drive down at around 5 am though just for a laugh and see. I'll camp outside the shop in a sleeping bag if that's what it takes! (The last part probably won't happen :P)

    Why doesn't someone just ring up tesco, ask for someone who deals with purchases, and ask when the times is in?

    I don't like that time. I may be still here at time. Once I don't see the points before I go to bed then I will be fine.

    I won't be waiting up, work at 7am and I am about 45 points clear of my course. However just an idea for ye, I kinda remember last year, doesn't the Irish Times publish its suplements online at about 2am free of charge etc.. Why not try there and go to bed then?
