I'm going to have a roaring weekend if this works out. Anyone going to Castlepalousa? :-)

I'm feeling really old now. I don't even know what Castlepalousa is. Well that's another benefit of going back to school. I'll get re educated on what's hip and now

Am also lying here wondering if I should just try and sleep.

You might also learn about "hip" replacements....

DroghedaTutor

Actually seeing as I've a captive audience ... If anyone is looking for UL accommodation, message me.

I've rented a house beside campus. Have one GEM housemate already. Looking for a third.

House available to view from next week.

And end of the ad break ... and back to regular programming aka waiting, drumming our fingers.

Looking at your screen name Jr, I take it your 28 ... god, what was I doing ten years ago at your age? Living in Tokyo, dating Kazuo, about to hop on the trans siberian ... memories ... sing it Barbra ...

so what's your soon to be old day job Jr?

I_Shot_JR_1986

38! I feel sillypuling the ejector cord on my career at 28 . Fair play to you.
I was a project Engineer in Perth last year. Nice salary and all that but after I settled in, the job was vapid.
What are you leaving?


I'm sticking on a movie anyway. I can't sleep now. I'm confident pts will drop based on chit-chat here but bad news will be a tough pill to swallow after the last year.


best of luck everybody.

I'm leaving nothing, well nothing that is that interesting now ... 15 years hr/finance including 5 years as a trailing expat spouse to my ex husband who ran off with his ex girlfriend two years ago = my big wake up call to finally put myself first and return to get what i've wanted for 20 years ... my med degree.

And yes, i did say return. I had a place 20 years ago but dropped out due to the sudden death of a parent. I was young without guidance, what can i say. Doesn't matter now. All i want is a second chance.

I'm looking forward to hearing classmates stories (if i get in)

omg ..are we still in limboland? Yip but only two and a half hours left.

This is like Christmas Eve except I'm not sure Santy is going to come ... CAO should really sell popcorn and movies ... anyone else got UL first choice?

Oh you are so right with that! I kept having those 'Santa lost his sleigh/got lost/forgot MY presents' dreams, except with CAO scenarios. I even had a dream in which all of the hopefuls were waiting outside an office to hear the results, and when it came time I wasn't allowed in because I was holding a dog. A DOG! Come on, brain, pull yourself together!

Not long now!

Goodluck everybody!

Haha! I'll have to slink away from you and deny all knowledge of the dog so I can unload the craziness onto you. Muahahahaaa

Confused, there is a page up and running already. I'm not a member, but just search for class of 2018 and you should find it.

I_Shot_JR_1986

set up that FB page there then. I cant sleep with this stupid grin on my face.

There's one already. Our American and Canadian classmates got their offers in may and it was set up then. Search for it (university of limerick medicine class of 2018) and ask czara kennedy (or whoever else comes up as admin) for an invite.

Royal College of Surgeons, absolutely thrilled. Stark contrast to my sentiments this day last year!

I was crazy nervous checking that today! Got an offer for UL anyway! Boom! Such a relief to know i got in to medicine. Wanted ucc really though but ul will do too. Anyone know what the story is with thdm next round of offers. Will i be able to accept ul and still maybe get a round 2 ucc offer? Its a housing issue, im not mad about making the drive until i can find an affordable decent place to live.

tk09aag

Congratulations everyone I got UL too! Did anyone got a txt pr an email? Because I didn't but the offer was on the website! Also does anyone know of financing options for a british national? I heard apparently irish banks don't like giving us money?

As long as you have UCC above UL in your preference list, yes. You can go up, but you cannot go down.

See you all in UL, couldn't resist hitting accept :-) Anyone know what the zero round cut off was?
