ha the terror that only Irish children know, 9pm on sundays, judgement hour. Did anyone else ever do that thing where Glenroe would end but your parents didnt realise the time and hadnt sent you to bed, so you'd just sit on the couch as silently as possible until they noticed you :pac:

Well I can recommend the Nitrous Oxide for a nice drunky feeling. So Suzie you could feel like you were in a club listening to house music and blowing a whistle. Or maybe that was just me...

pampootie

Booked a gym assessment thingy for this morning, completely forgetting I had gig tickets last night. V hungover and may fall off crosstrainer. But it's far too short notice to cancel. Ugh!

Susie_Q

Don't think there's any nitrous oxide on offer... today he even tried to start drilling without giving me an injection or any sort of anesthetic. In true Irish style, I demanded dem drugs.

Also the dental surgery has 2 dentists chairs side-by-side and 2 dentists working at the same time, so not only is there another patient in the room but there's also their mother, sister, brother, uncle and several small children, ALL STARING AT THE WHITE WOMAN. Dear jaysus.

"okay the anesthetic should be working now *tries to take out my tooth*"
"OWWWWW"
"oh does that hurt? are you sure it's pain and not just..."
"YES I KNOW IT HURTS"
"huh okay more anesthetic then..."

This dentist talk is timely. Have to get a filling replaced in the morning. At least I know this time, last time the (other) dentist injected anaesthetic without even mentioning it, or the fact I needed a filling :eek::mad:

Kinda similar thing happened to me thought I was getting one filling but got two. I'd much prefer it that way, I have less time to panic about it if I only find out a few minutes before it happens.

never had a filling or anythin

Leinster Rugby broke me... I feel like I played the shaggin' match. What a weekend, though!

Why the hell didn't I take today off work???

Can't wait to get out for a run in that weather after work.

It's defo the weather to get out and get fit.

Trying to get through the large classes module it's really long and I'm not getting it:( 8 days left and three more certs to get I don't know if it'll happen.

I so want to spend time outside in the lovely sunshine this week but I'll exhaust walking in the woods with the dog pretty quickly, especially as the lead will inevitably hit off my burn. God I wish we had a nice garden to hang out in, we just have a lump of field-like stuff with holes in it.

But but but...... The sun makes everyone happy

lilmissprincess

There is no sunshine in Cork. We're back to status quo of drizzle.... makes it slightly easier to make myself study though.

I had a proper academic chat with boybestie last night and re-discovered my love for theatre. I lost it, mostly, studying drama and theatre studies in first year, and dropped out with a hatred for the thing that I'd loved for over 10 years. Having our discussion over the pros and cons of theatre and film as mediums, I found myself getting really enthusiastic and heated, like I haven't in ages. It was really nice to talk about the things that both of us have studied indepth and be able to have a proper discussion and not have it end like the discussions we have about economics (with 5 years of study behind me, him with none telling me I'm wrong normally winds up with me wanting to strangle him), it was fabulous.

Right. Good mood this week, it will counterbalance last week.

Meeting the lecturer from Tuesday's exam today at 1 to discuss mitigation; though I'm a lot calmer now I do have a doctors letter proving the absolute state I was in. Hopefully she'll be nice about it.

Is it the i-to-i course? Once you do the checkpoint for that module, go straight onto the next module and get the quiz and checkpoint done while you're waiting for the checkpoint to be corrected, that'll save time (if it takes 48 hours to give you feedback)

Best of luck.

WesternNight

I have to ask people (academic people!) to be referees on my post grad application. "um, hi, I was in your class and you gave me good grades plz plz vouch for me if they ring you, kthxbye".

I guess this is why some of my class-mates were constantly talking to lecturers and asking a million questions... so that they'd KNOW THEM!

I got lucky enough I was in a very small class by the end of 4th year and we had the same guy for half the lectures so they knew us well enough
especially towards the end of the year when aforementioned guy found out my age - I sure wasn't forgettable then
plus they all had an open door policy so we were always dropping in on them to ask stuff

when i sat some lectures for my msc in trinity though, lord god
they werent interested at all except one guy who used to yell why dont you people speak up how are you going to get references if we dont know you

Yeah, that's what I'm doing but my head is starting to melt with the information, I'm finding it difficult to focus. So far they seem to be pretty quick with the correcting/feedback within the hour.

If you are really stuck, they give you the chance for a one month or three month extension for more money...

winter's great because you can put on a nice fire and sit in and you don't have the birds singing at fcuking 4am, or it's not still bright at 930pm when you are tired and want to sleep

indeed, I was out saturday night, got home around 3.30, had some tea and toast, went to bed after 4.30 ish and the birds were singing and it was starting to get bright, its the middle of the night! I love, looooove being off on winter days when its pissing rain and you've no reason to leave the house, when its sunny you feel guilty for having a lazy day, maybe I should move to that place in Alaska that has night time that lasts weeks :pac:

Acoshla

Yeah I get sad when it's bright til 10pm, I want it to be dark so I can sit inside guilt free! When the weather is fine my mom will often garden from 7am til 11pm, she gets great exercise, a fab tan and a pretty garden, I want to be like her now, I'm a bit of the way there, I have about 7 plants!

This is what I loved about Canada, when I was wrecked after work on a sunny day it was ok to go to bed and close the curtains and watch tv, because I knew it'd be sunny for the next few months! Here when it's sunny you think "Shite, today is the ENTIRE summer, I better go outside...."

The one lecturer who would have known me well enough has since fecked off to become head of department in another Uni. I'd feel a bit weird emailing him out of the blue, as it's been a year since I was in his class. Did pretty well in his class, and I was in his seminar class so I'd have seen him (nearly) every week for the year. I've only since realised that he's extremely well accomplished (hence head of department!) and I don't even know if he'd remember me.

Then there's the teacher from first year who'd have known us all pretty well because it was a small class. Did very well in that class, but it's like three years ago... "ohai remember me? the one who did well but didn't bother taking on your subject in second year? yeah can you be a referee pleaseandthankyou?"

This is unchartered territory here lads. It's the whole "do I not ask and leave it too late to even apply?" or "do I ask and look like an idiot because none of these people know me well enough?" dilemma. Yeah. I know the answer

email the guy sure even if he's in another uni now

I feel better than I did this morning.

I have cake! One of the little girls brought in some of her big sisters communion cake to me! How sweet!

I love this child. :pac:

Still in London here, about to head off for an afternoon's shopping, flight isn't until 9.20pm.

I feel sadder in the summer months too. Maybe it's from being separated from friends. Also most of the ****ty things that happened in my childhood happened in summer months. That could be it equally.

Funny thing is, when we went on honeymoon to Iceland, it never got dark at all, but there was something so energising about the light up there. And the earth too, you can nearly feel the thrum of it in your bones. Such an amazing place. (At least once a month I go on about Iceland on here!)

Posy

I had to email a lecturer saying 'Hi... Can I have a reference for another post grad course please?' about 5 years after I'd left college!
He still remembered me though, phew!

Fluorescence

I didn't know any of my lecturers in my old course. I wanted to do the free-grinds thing a few years back with my strong subjects but we needed a lecturer to back us first - I'd none i could ask. Luckily my new course is much much smaller and everyone knows everyone else, students and staff alike. Makes not graduating till I'm 24 almost bearable :pac:
