Awww he'll never be a sad boy with you as a Mammy. He's gonna be one happy (and slightly embarrassed) boy
/embarrassed cause his Dad drew a weener on his Mams card and blamed him
Hold still.
Cause I'm gonna hug you now.
I just hope that if he is sad he'll tell me or his Dad, or someone.
He's going to be in a constant state of mortification at a teen though. But he will never be ill-informed!0 -

All you can do work hard and apply everywhere I suppose! UCD don't offer placement years do they? If they do go for it! It's been one of the best years of my life doing this! And if not still apply for all the summer internships!
If I can do it you certainly can! :-)
No UCD don't offer anything like that, which IMO is a major drawback But I will definitely apply for summer internships after second and third year, I just didn't feel ready for one after only one year done.
Seriously well done though, I know fourth years who had no placement or training lined up for after they finished final exams, it is so competitive, and dependent on connections.WesternNight wrote: »Oh fúck just remembered my final results are out on Monday :eek:
Ooooh best of luck! Have a good luck cake

Yea, it's a pity. It's one of Maynooth's big advantages atm espesh when they're still such a young department and degree. Apply for everything! Even just for the experience! It'll be well worth it. That was actually the reason why I decided to do this year.
I know, I've seen how hard it is! Only one person from my year (as in the year I started first year with) has been offered a contract. Out of 90!
It is so ridiculously competitive though I do think that connections are playing less of a part as they used to! In the bigger firms at least! It's all up to you now! Though I've always been a believer that connections can get you so far but in the end of the day you're the one who still has to work and prove yourself.0 -

That really terrible feeling when you realize your best friend is on boards and not only on boards, but is reporting articles on her facebook that's posted in this very ladies lounge. Sacre Bleu. I wish I knew her username or something. Unsettled ha
If you click her profile, see if she has a username after the ".com/" bit. People normally have one username for everything!
I'm yet find out someone on boards is someone I know well outside of boards that I haven't already got on my buddies list. Don't think I've anything to worry about though....
I was afraid of logging in on my official representative account here by accident and posting something outside of the "talk to" forums...

Thanks for the advice! You're right, I should just go for everything that catches my eye, the more experience I get, the better my CV will look
Yeah I hope that's the way things are going regarding connections; it's archaic and unfair on people trying to 'break into' the profession. I have smarts (I hope!), but no legal background!Owwwww my eyes hurt. I can't wait to get my new glasses, blew my first pay check on them and stuff for my little lady, hope I can get some monies back on my health insurance! €280 for specs! :eek::eek:
Can you claim anything back from PRSI? Even the cost of your appointment?
I've just joined Twitter. I've yet to tweet anything, yet I have one follower already. A bit baffled.0 -

Can't wait....
When I think of kickboxing I get all sad. I did it until recently enough but managed to dislocate my arm while sparring ( I threw a punch a bit too hard, missed and dislocated my own arm at the shoulder joint). Since then I've dislocated it a further two or three times playing football so had to stop that too... Op should be in July, hopefully I can get back.. 0 -

Thanks for the heads up! I found a Professor Snape account, joy!
It seems pretty interesting, although I've no idea what I might actually tweet about.0
