2nd year biochem, anyone?

Aoi

Anyone doing CPC? Cause I'm the only one that I know wanting it first choice..

Yup I want to do it, I know another 4 people too who want to do it!!. I guess it's a good thing that there aren't many going for it though

Aoi

I hope there aren't lots of secret CPC wanna doers >.< I really want it!

is maith liom chocolate

I know yeah me too, but to be honest, I doubt I'll get it ... think I might do straight chemistry instead and pick all the same modules and hope that someone drops out, then I might be able to transfer in third year That's the plan anyway

Aoi

We've a better chance cause we've passed all our exams so far. A lot of people failed at least 1 module.

hoodwinked

just a note for all you people thinking of doing CPC over chemistry straight.

My friend did chemistry straight, my boyfriend did cpc.

my friend did a project instead of work experience (i think he had to for his course) and when they graduated last year he couldn't get a job anywhere in the industry,

my boyfriend did work experience in third year and when he graduated last year walked into a job the week after finishing his exams, he's just 1 year out of college and has just been made permanent.

alot of the cpc class are now working in the industry where as the chemistry class members i knew are still doing post grads..etc

Aoi

Picked CPC over the others cause of the work experience, and anecdotes like that, friend's sister got a job straight out of college.

One of my friends registered for CPC yesterday, then regretted his decision and now wants to change.

All I can say is: I've wanted to do CPC since the UCC open day before I started so that's gotta count for something, it was either gonna be chemistry or maths for me, and CPC has the best job prospects as well as a placement to get experience.

Hopefully I'll be seeing you chocolate =]

sorry didn't look at this for a while Aoi ... I really doubt it now since I failed Physics so I pretty much have zero chance! and now I'm scared that I'll never get a job and end up poor if I do straight chem .... My only hope is that not too many people go for it .. but so far it's not looking good ... I'll prob be in all your lectures though

Aoi

Do all the CPC modules, be graaand >.< Sure you can try anyway cause an awful lot of people failed physics so you might luck out in that one. My friend Goodie picked CPC & regretted it so he's trying to change before they confirm everything >.<

is maith liom chocolate

if he can't I'll swap courses with him, lol :P Yera hopefully I'll be okay, sure I'll try anyway and see what happens ... Yeah a load of people did fail it, I was surprised to see all the people at the repeat exam!

Aoi

He got everything sorted out, Helen in the office is very very nice... or so he's told me =L

is maith liom chocolate

Awh that's good, I'd say twud be awful to be in a course that you hate!!

I should probably go have a word with this Helen!!

manup

So much easier to organise class parties =p Gutted I can't make the one on thursday =[ literally made plans two seconds before I walked into the lab =|

is maith liom chocolate

Awh I know I can't go either I was roped into going on the E&S mystery tour. Better be good now cause I really wanted to go to the class party. Bet twill be a good laugh .... hopefully there'll be more soon

Aoi

Of course, if there isn't anything between now and then, I'll try something for my birthday =p

is maith liom chocolate

ah yes, even though I have no idea who you are!! hah :P

Aoi

Doesn't matter, class party is a class party. I'm Aoife =]

is maith liom chocolate

I'm Marion, I shall look for you in labs, hehe, since our lectures are massive again

Awh can't wait now!! Didn't go to any class parties last year. lol

Aoi

I shall do the same for you =p

Not many people showed up to last year's class parties

is maith liom chocolate

prob because the class was so big!! It's really hard to get to know 300 people!! lol
How are you finding the course so far??

Aoi

The phys chem lab reports are so hard =/ so far I've missed two lectures =| both cause of lack of sleep =| It's not too bad otherwise..

is maith liom chocolate

yeah those labs are awful! I actually can't do the reports Slaving over one as we speak!!! TORTURE!!!!!!

Yeah I've missed two too, one due to (don't laugh) the ploughing, :P and then slept through my alarm for the second one, ooops!! :P

I really like the actual course so far bar those god-awful labs!!

Aoi

Slaving over the one for tomorrow =/ so many calculations I don't understand. The course is fine, the labs are nice but the lab reports are evil.. Skipped biochem today, after d block chemistry going over my head and feeling so so sick I decided to go home, strangely, last night was one of my first sober nights in a long time =/ I missed one lecture due to falling asleep after my alarm woke me =/
