Comments

    it's not possible. Tv and internet always gets in the way... god damnit.


  • Registered Users Posts: 524 ✭✭✭Lisapeep


    I avoid distractions by not studying in the UCD library! It's full of distractions, from people chatting, to phones buzzing, to people walking around, and there's always someone you know there who you haven't seen in ages and who wants a big long chat with you!

    kettle, toaster, george foreman grill, internet, shiney glittery pens, and slinkys.

    god damn their sweet distracting goodness.

    Yeah the fear is good when you can get it. Theres a guy in a black leather jacket seated 2 rows from the front in engineering computer room 321 who browsing on boards at the moment? It's no one I recognise, but a think an engineer cos he was holding a pile of notes. Which one of you is it?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 56 ✭✭AllStar

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Don't listen to AllStar.

    well i've never met the guy but from his posts his carefree attitude and apparent ability to fail exams without giving a sh1t does it for me :D

    Aw, tribulus you say the nicest things...

    *SebtheBum slips tribulus 10 euro*

    Anyone else need bribing?

    I mean, eh... Anyone else recogise my fabulous deadliness? :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 26,928 ✭✭✭✭rainbow kirby


    Deadliness recognised. :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    deadliness recognised and seconded :cool:


  • Registered Users Posts: 45,594 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I recognise his deadliness too.*





























    I may need that 10 euro bribe. You never know when I might get another library book fine. :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,169 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Since when is doing crap in exams 'cool'.

    Sure I'm top of my class and therefore the hippest guy around!

    It's not the doing crap that would make him cool, it would be the not caring.

    But I'm not going to endorse Seb's coolness unless I get my bribe in advance.

    But I'm not going to endorse Seb's coolness unless I get my bribe in advance.

    What?! You wench! Just when ya think you can rely on somebody to unquestioningly support you, it turns out they need some kind of monetary incentive... For Shame!!!!

    Anyway, even by just referring to my "coolness" in your post you acknowledge that it exists. Therefore your endorsement is not neccessary, and vicariously neither is a bribe. Hooray! :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,326 ✭✭✭pretty*monster


    if you'll re-read my post you'll note that I worded it very carefully.

    "would" not, does... hypothetical, like...

    Ok, but you made me feel bad, so fine...

    Seb's pretty damn cool.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,391 ✭✭✭arbeitsscheuer


    Ok, but you made me feel bad, so fine...

    Sorry darlin, didn't mean to make ya feel bad... Clearly if I truly was the coolest person in UCD I wouldn't have that effect, so I hereby resign my post as Uber Cool Deadly guy... :(

    Just Kiddin!!!! Of course I'm still the coolest. :cool:

    By the way, I did notice your post was worded carefully, I just wanted to hav some fun. You've got your bribe in advance anyway... :p

    P.S. pretty*monster's cooler than me. I hate that.

    I suppose being interested in what your doing will stop you from being distracted-

    think of the practical applications of what your studying-
    Where it comes from where it goes and who makes it do all that-

    Or just give up
