Hello hello...:)

As Daithí has pointed out in a different thread, I'm the Education Officer come Monday or so. And anyone who posts here occasionally will notice how I'm fairly accustomed to boards.ie, so I'm not going to go anywhere.

I'm just throwing up this post as a hello flag so that if anyone has any queries or questions about anything in particular, you can send me a private message here or email me (education AT tcdsu DOT org) and I'll get back to you quickly.

If you've any problems with exams (including repeats), drop up to the office, email me or PM me. I'm based in House 6, on the first floor (on the left and down the corridor as you come to the top of the stairs). Also the rest of the gang (John - President, Tom - Deputy President, Steph - Welfare, Niall - Ents) are starting on Monday too.

So that's about it. Hello!

snorlax

hello to you too Myth and good luck~!:)

Agent Smith

Bring back the other guy, tbh



serriously, Good luck!

Kappar

Yeah good luck there's somethings that I would like to contact you about and I will in due course :-)

Andrew 83

Good luck Mr Mythical Pimp. I may have to contact you over something Daithí was helping me with earlier in the week if it doesn't get sorted out by Monday, sorry in advance for the early work if I do

It's beyond me why anyone would contact the "Education Officer" of the "Students' Union" when they could go to their tutor or, if serious, the Student Counselling Service. Surely those options would be much more efficacious. Perhaps there are legitimate reasons, but is he (or she) really worth the money?

ApeXaviour

In my opinion yes, very much so.. The most useful of the sabbatical officers gan doubt. My tutor is the most useless chap alive and why the hell would the student counselling service care about unwarned exam paper changes, bad/truant lecturers or any other of the countless questions about exams/resits/repeating/labs and educational logistical problems

Nothing's ever useful or efficient until you've needed to make use of it!

I've found education officers in the union very useful (disclaimer, i've been known to be a bit of an SU head in the past, adding this as an upfront declaration, but this isn't just a 'go team union' rant).

I have a great tutor, but still would wander into the SU education officer to ask random questions or get things clarified.

Anyways, good luck with the year Myth! I guess 'edu-myth' isn't going to catch on, then?

Because I, for one, find Daithí far more attractive than my tutor.

Hmmm, my tutor's a hottie, but there's something about Daithí...

Since I'm for some reason still up...

Plenty more pics floating about...

I'm Edu, Steph's Welfare, and Niall's Ents. Pic of Niall here, he's at the middle back.

There should be shiny new pics up sometime over the next week or so on tcdsu.org...

haha wonder if its the same one as mine, useless ****er who had no interest whatsoever. Talked to him once in first year and that was it, hate the mofo... certianly will be bugging Myth for any/all my issues....



Had best get started:
How come the world is flat Myth?

Kevin_rc_ie

ah tutors are a bit hit and miss. mine secretly smokes in his office.

hey myth, how come the golden pages are yellow? why aren't they called the purple pages and be coloured purple?

I knew I should have said "Education type Questions".

I'm going to go with fate for both questions. What do I win?

Nietzschean

Too late now,
Why are oranges orange?

Kevin_rc_ie

i'll give you today and tomorrow off, then, i'm flooding your inbox with awkward educational assoiciated questions. actually, i've a question i'm going to ask daithai right now. it's not for myth's ears.

Kevin_rc_ie

damn educat is quick, got an answer back in 2 mins, on a saturday! i'm going to spend the rest of today thinking of questions he can't answer in 2mins, then give them to myth. ha.

Depends; I had trouble with missing re-registration last year, it normally takes at least a week or so to track down my tutor; Dathaí was able to help me out with it immediately. They do a good job, generally.

Pet

i bumped into Pet on grafton street yesterday...

Dude!? Wtf? I was at Oxegen! unless I astrally projected, there's no possible way that could be true..I think you just saw a black hat and thought "there's pet". Didn't it strike you as odd that this person didn't recognise or acknowledge you!?

snorlax

but they waved at me and smiled, wtf?!

Pet

Did you wave first?!

Describe this person to me! I want to know what my double/astral self looks like!

rsynnott

Possibly it was a mirage; it's been quite warm lately

snorlax

they waved first and smiled. i was listening to music and kinda in my own world dreaming away...
he had brown hair and was kinda skinny, maybe you should post up a pic?

Kevin_rc_ie

there are loads of pictures of the handsome pet floating around this place. did you say Hi Pet to some total randomer? ha, no wonder they smiled and ran off.

Couldn't have put it better. If someone said "Hi, pet" to me I'd do exactly that.

Kevin_rc_ie

you could respond:

"how you doing?"
