Guys. I'm confused. I'm doing my first Developmental Psychology essay and I have my introduction introducing the factors I'm going to discuss and a reference about the family unit (the question). Anyway i've listed the factors i'm going to discuss like this and then am planning to do a separate paragraph for each factor, is this ok? I'll post the paragraph here so you know what i'm talking about! Thanks a million!

Factors within the family unit that will be discussed throughout this essay that can determine the emotional and social development of children include:
· Family income.
· Parents suffering from Stress and Depression.
· Violence within a family unit.
· The child’s interaction with both peers and adults in a school setting but also within the family home.
· The effects of punishment and discipline within a family unit.

Family-Income
How the level of family income is a factor in the emotional and social development of children will now be discussed......

I've just realised why I've felt annoyed all day long. I went to the doctor's place behind JH this morning and was asked why I wanted to see the doctor. But I was asked, effectively, in public. By someone who was not the doctor.

That's not what I expect from a doctor's office, nor what I've experienced everywhere else I've gone. I don't like it. Maybe it's the norm in other places, towns, but it's not what I'm used to. I feel like it was pretty unprofessional, borderline unethical.

But maybe I'm totally wrong. Is it normal practice to be asked in front of everyone what's wrong with you? I mean in other doctors' offices around the country?

Not in my experience, - usually its all very covert and hush hush. Bad form.

Same thing annoys me in the bank. Ulsterbank's tellers are about a metre away from the queue, so you there's no point in even lowering your voice. I did once and the stone-faced harridan behind the glass roared at me to speak up:mad: I know you can write it down or ask to see someone in private but I'm sure that looks twice as suspicious:p

Me:"I'd like to withdraw that €2.32 from my account please

Bank Teller: "What's that? €2.32?"

That a Friday? That's outrageous!

Usually the 8th, no? Something is afoot!

I'd say exams will start on the 11th, rather than the 4th. That would mean the library etc would have to open on new year's day for people to study in and that won't happen.

Semester One January Examinations:

Friday 4th January 2013 to Saturday 19th January 2013 approximately including Saturdays.

Does anyone know what the story is with fees and grants if you defer a year?

And how to do it in general?

Head over to academic advisory and they will help with everything. If you're deferring for medical reasons, you should be able to get the fees waived for next year and possibly still get your full grant too (I got both when I came back after deferring). I don't know what the story is re: fees/grants for a non-medical deferral though, sorry! Hope everything is okay.

A quick thanks from minds to Boards.ie: Danny for coming out to Maynooth and giving such an entertaining talk and look inside how boards.ie works, or often doesn't work.

Thanks again Danny.

If anyone happened to come across/know someone who found a couple of posters in a bag on the ground floor of Logic House beside the Maths tutors' drop boxes, let me know. 5 hours sleep and limited caffeine makes me quite forgetful :pac:

Was sad that I couldn't make this - I'd say it was very interesting.
