There seems to be a few UL people around C&H so I might as well just ask this here instead of trying to find a suitable thread over in the UL forum.
When do first years usually finish up for the summer? I'm guessing it depends on your course, but like, what dates (roughly) are the exams over by? 0 -

The last day of Spring Semester exams is the 20th of May 2013. You're at the mercy of SAA as to when you're finished. You could be lucky and be done in the first week, or unlucky and have an exam on the very last day.

It would help if my relatives scheduled their lives around my exams. :pac: My first cousin to get married did so right before the Leaving last year.
I wouldn't mind when the weddings are at all, but I've a good few American cousins who come home for them so it's nice to be able to see them is all.
*Shakes fist at people who organise both weddings and exams*0 -

I can't wait. Oh and you posted something about me going for Plassey before and I was kind of like dafuq did she know that?! but I was going through my PMs a while ago and saw that you were the one who messaged me stuff about the villages ages ago... It all makes sense now! :P And you also have the honour of being the first human to message me on Boards. :eek: :P 0 -

God I'm an awful eejit - I saw in the UL forum that the timetables are up, so I went and had a look to see if I could find the first year ones for the courses I have down, just to get an idea what they're like. Firstly, I had have no idea how to read college timetables yet (mainly because I don't even know what groups I'd even be in or what lecturers I'd have... :pac:), so all I did was look at the start time and finishing time every day for one course, making me initially think that I'd have stuff from 9-6 every day bar one day where it'd only be 9-5. :pac:
Then I was trying to figure out which letter combinations stood for which subjects, and I kept seeing 'TUT' and it took me ages to realise that it means tutorial. 0 -

You'll pick it up fairly quickly tbh. Once you have your student number you'll get a personalised timetable.
Basically, the LEC slots can't be changed, you have to go to them. LAB's and TUT's are divided up into groups, you'll usually have one LAB and one TUT in each module per week. Depending on your course, you'll be able to mix and match LAB's and TUT's to suit yourself. (So if you miss a TUT on a Wednesday morning you will be able to do it later in the week, etc.)
Boy, UL is in danger of annexing the Den at this rate... :pac:0 -

Maybe if I have to repeat I can tell my parents: "Ah, I just love UL so much I wanted to have an extra year there!".... yeah... that'd go down well I think.
In other news, my blog is on the long list for The Bloggies (Irish Blog Awards).
Now, I know I nominated myself, and I know the only criteria to make it on to the long lists is to actually have a function blog... but still! :P0 -

I kinda like Winter! At least you know it'll be cold, and I kind of like the dark evenings.
I like winter 'cause it gives me an actual excuse to wear woolly hats and mittens, but the dark evenings are awful! I find it difficult to make myself go outside and exercise when it's bright 'til 10pm, I don't want to know how I'll manage during the winter. :eek: And I've just remembered having to get out of my lovely warm bed when it's still dark outside. The horror!
Conclusion: Winter seems to have more cons than pros... :cool:0 -

Oh no no no. Days when I can go outside the house without 17 layers are happy days for me. I don't like the cold, and combine that with the horrible windy, wet awfulness...when I think of winter I just think of walking to lectures/exams in the disgusting weather and sitting in wet clothes for the next few hours!
I would love somewhere with temperatures in the 20's, not too much humidity...wouldn't mind the odd day of rain/cold/whatever to shake things up a bit as long as some sun is guaranteed! :pac:
Everything is so much better with sun 0 -

If i said to you 'stop giving out to them' what would you actually pick that up as? cause in america its all backwards and means something totally wrong? WTF like?
I have no idea what to give out to someone means. would you mind explaining0 -

I think americans assume it's to do with handouts. "Stop giving out [stuff] to them."
At least that's always what I've assumed.0 -

Conclusion: Winter seems to have more cons than pros... :cool: They were the absolute worst :eek: But there's something romantic about walking around when it's dark and quiet out...
I'm pretty sure it comes straight from ag tabhairt amach, in the same way as "I'm just after doing it", Hiberno-English wouldn't make much sense to Americans. :PIf i said to you 'stop giving out to them' what would you actually pick that up as? cause in america its all backwards and means something totally wrong?

ah dont worry
Jealous of all you collegeheads, Wednesday can't come fast enough...I'm so nervous about making friends and stuff though :eek: unless you literally make no effort whatsoever with anyone and avoid social interaction at all costs, you'll make friends 
if you're living with other students, for the love of god, go out with them the first night or do something fun or something. They'll be the first new college people you'll probably end up meeting!
Also just 3 more weeks before I move back into ma new college house

I can confirm this, and I am one of those awkward, zero social skills types who spent the first few months of college being afraid to talk to people in case they thought I was weird and I was bothering them, and I still managed to make friends!soccymonster wrote: »ah dont worry unless you literally make no effort whatsoever with anyone and avoid social interaction at all costs, you'll make friends0 -
