The answer is 57.
5 + 7 = 12
57 + 18 = 75

Don't know how to work it though using algebra.

The pressure of finding something good to wear and what others will think of you always gets me worked up we had to pay €2!!! But my school raised 1600 for the local cancer support:)

I had a few exams before midterm so thankfully got no homework.

The other English class have to write a speech though!

I didn't study at all during midterm, midterm is a break, doesn't need to be all school stuff haha :pac:

TV show! Season 2 is only out now so not that many people have heard of it it's on E4 and Canadian Netflix (for some random reason) but I'd highly recommend it

Have you seen Jessica Lange perform Lana Del Rey's Gods & Monsters?

I streamed 1 episode after having 2 recorded so that may be in the episode Tuesday coming.

Jessica Lange sounds amazing....

Is anyone else tied down between two or more colleges?

I don't know if I should go Trinity or DCU. The possibilities are so huge, I don't know how to decide. I'm just reading through the course details for both and they both sound awesome...

Excited for the open days.

What course? They are all good in their own areas but trinity would be seen as better.

In what aspect?

I think Trinity lacks a relationship with modern industry, I don't know. I've got told it's more for academic than real industry applications.

As I say,depends on the course. For example if you were interested in banking the top investment banks only hire from Trinity and UCD. Internationally trinity is much more respected that any other irish university

Not sure, i read before the top investment banks only hold hiring events in TCD and UCD. Also trinity is more recognised aborad etc due to its much higher rankings

I understand you, and one of the reasons why my heart tells me Trinity is because it is internationally renowned, and employers will be impressed (if they're that type of person.)

The international status is a huge plus.

I would love to study abroad, perhaps in Germany or another Eastern Europe country.

Their fees are a lot cheaper than outs too and the points requirement is basically negated!

I don't really bother thinking about that stuff as it's way too far in the future.

Had an interesting talk today, it seems like people would be better studying abroad in some sense. Medicine in Italy... you hardly need any points and requirements very low, plus you need to do their version of the HPAT.

Heard Netherlands is very good for Irish students, best do some research .
