What's up with that?

Mr.Nice Guy

My best friend is in Trinity and has informed me he also has to do his exams in the RDS - AFTER ME. He started his year AFTER ME as well. Why is it we in UCD have to return to college before you and why is it we in UCD have to do our exams before you as well? You people get all the perks!

Agent Smith

its because we have Bigger penis's.

snorlax

! :eek:

It's because the terms start at different times. Remember you start your first semester in September when we start our first term in October. You finished a few weeks before us in the summer and start back a few weeks before us in the autumn.......

But I think you guys tend to get longer holidays than every other college right through the year.

We don't have exams at christmas. I'd imagine the number of weeks of teaching are similar. What do we have? 22 weeks of teaching? 24? educat?myth?ano?

Agent Smith

So we can procreate with our larger , well you know whats.....

the plural is "peni" from the original Latin "penus"

Kevin_rc_ie

that's not true.

punka

the original latin is penis. the plural is penes. penis can also mean tail.
penus (plural also penus) means a store of food. or the inner part of a sanctuary. go figure.
always liked the more colourful membrum virile (or membra virilia in pl) myself.
right. haven't opened a book today, but at least now i can feel like i've done something tangentially exam-related. thanks boards!

DrIndy

our terms are 9 weeks, 9 weeks, 6 weeks = 24 weeks.

Teaching time is shorter than UCD, but there is more study time before most exams. We get a 4 month summer holiday too.

By good fortune, UCD is earlier than us as Trinity only started using the RDS a few years ago where UCD were using it for ages.....

But I don't care - coz I'm FINISHED!!!! I'm going DRINKING!!!!

:D:D

/aside Welcome Mr Nice Guy, to our venerable board....

Kevin_rc_ie

yeah aparently penises and penes are accepted plurals.

cuckoo

Ah, but ucders get first dibs on a lot of the summer jobs and if doing a J1 are over there before us.

foxybrowne

So would one say that there were many penes in the freezer or many peneses in the freezer?

Exactly! I'd much rather start earlier and end earlier..

I always thought UCD had it better because of this.

No it's just the amount of orange tan that the ladies wear which makes the grass look so green.
