The Official "woo-hoo/anti-moan" Thread

cuckoo · 2005-07-27 19:28:22

We're all very good at posting in the moan/bitching/groan thread, so i thought maybe we could try a 'woo hoo!' thread? For the 'i got a job/won the lotto/had a nice day' posts. So, for the first 'woo hoo' post: I got wolf whistled by a large group of guys yesterday, which really cheered me up - and put the 'i got it going…

I've just had an "I'm so stupid moment". I deleted my post, but it's quoted by a couple of people, so they can still see what I said.

Woohoo indeed. Was 2% off a First (boo!) but as it's only worth 20% of the grade the real difference is only 0.4% which is nothing to get upset about now.

I now only need 63% in the Trinity Term exam to get me a II.1; 79.9% to get a I. So I'll be happy with a II.1 .

Congratulations to all the econometrics people, it's a very hard subject, just be happy you're finished the Christmas exam, as you've probably seen, it all gets better from there.

WooHoo = f(econometrics result, Joanna Lumley, Bolly for Lunch, Beer for Dinner, Pav Friday, Party of the Century in Messrs)

All in all, I think Friday 13th was pretty damn lucky.

I need 75% to get an overall first... and pigs might fly but I doubt it!

Hopefully get a II.I though.. though I was told by a lecturer after Christmas that if I got lucky I might just make a II.II

Woohoo! Came fifth in the Nationals today!

Should have done better but fifth wasn't bad given the start I had.

I'm gonna guess something rifle-related? Either way, well done!

On a similar note, woo-hoo to TCD coming both 2nd (A-team) and 3rd (B-team) at speedball IVs yesterday.

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

UCD ran a story last week, on the front page, about...you guessed it, cruising in their toilets. With quotes from squirt.org and all.

You gotta commend their stellar originality..

I wanted to go in to that but it'll be wasted on me with my ear infection. Are they all doing one long piece (Satie's "Vexations", look it up, it lasts about 18 hours!) or lots of different pieces? Who is/was/will be playing?

Lots of itty bitty pieces.

Sam Kavanagh is playing at half eight. He's the greatest.

Each performer is on for either half an hour or an hour. They have the choice of doing several shorter pieces or one or two longer pieces. There's a board up outside the Exam Hall, which lets you know what's on when.

Cool. Maybe they'll do it again next year. Too bad there isn't more of this sort of thing on more often. Or the arts festival that was on a few years ago during rag week (think it was when I was in second year).

It wasn't on when I was in third or fourth year. It looks fairly boring now though, it was a bit more experimental in 2004.

I rememeber it being on every year I've been in College, so that would mean festivals in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Maybe I'm completely wrong, but I don't think I am.

I remember looking for it and it not being on. Strange. Maybe I just missed it.
