I think you can do whatever theme you want! I hope so, anyway - we're doing the theme of suffering!

We did the theme of growing up in the third world, do I win for how obscure that is? :P

Im gonna go if I can make one of my friends tag along, 44 euro for a train to dublin is a balls though, or maybe its only 32 on saturday? either way too expensive UCD seems pretty cool, but I always hear people complaining that its like a jungle and is very badly organised, oh and does ne1 know how long it takes to get to the city centre from the campus?

On the bus about 15-20 minutes at most.



And it's great to live a walk away from UCD!

A great back route into pharmacy would be. Pharmacy. Your missing RCSI and UCC pharmacy completely there unless i'v gone blind.

I was silly enough not to do a third language so I don't qualify, i've emailed those colleges anyway about it and im waiting for replies about it. My own fault that i didn't do another language but i can bearly speak english never mind another one. Also applied to UCAS so fingers crossed

There's a trinity open day in physics on the same day so I'm stuck making my mind up between the two.

I hate my Biology teacher so much. I can't even explain how useless he is. He'll tell us to read a chapter for homework and then he counts it as being done and tests us on it. He views me as a waster because I never do any work for his tests, I'm basically teaching myself biology.

Feel your pain. Had the worst teacher ever last year, she gave me an A if I ripped the test in half! :pac: But seriously it's very frustrating when your teacher hasn't a clue how to actually teach a class! :mad:

Actually do any if your teachers not read the book but the questions either? In a few classes like physics, accounting and business we hardly use the book at all and then hardly learn anything apart from what's asked in the questions.

We do that in Irish, we only use Fiúntas for the aural and comprehensions! She gives us notes based on what comes up for everything else.

Come to think of it we only use fiúntas for the short stories and poetry, sin é.

Yeah, the situation gets a small bit out of hand at times! I don't really mind I'm not expecting amazing grades in English and I sorta enjoy having it as a laid back class! :P

Lads what am I going to watch tonight? I have kung fu panda 2 and cars 2. I really want to watch cars because it's pixar but the ratings are so bad! Actually I might get despicable me and watch that is it any good?

Working for a while tomorrow and have a grind too so probably won't get anything done tomorrow either. I'll be flat out all Saturday and Sunday by the looks of things :rolleyes:

They would probably be the worst of the pixar films (The first was mediocre and the second is meant to be even worst).

Despicable me it is:D

Yay! And when you're done with that watch Spirited Away. Also worth the watch. (:

I have well over 250 films in my colletion, and I still have to watch about 40 of them. :P

Luno

Has anyone seen Let Me In? I don't know if its worth watching tonight!
