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 have the afternoon off and I'm going to bake spinach pie for dinner tonight!

Darn good stuff, darn good. Only shame is that it goes too quickly...at least there are 12 slices.

I'm having sushi for lunch. Woohoo for capitalistic gastronomy!

Posting from the O'Toole's last Introduction to Economics lecture! Plus we got to fill out course evaluation forms! I reckon he was slated across the board.

Sorry Fran...

Sigh, Freshmen know not what they do.

Fran is an excellent lecturer. I expect you'll come to understand this in the fullness of time.

But be warned it's highly addictive, and any of the editorials from the site staff will have a right wing bias.

Was finished work at 1:30 or so, and went home. When I tried to get in, my key wouldn't work. Rent was due yesterday, and the ****ing estate agents who were meant to sort out the payment didn't bother giving details to the bank (as checked by my friend in BoI) so I was thinking that the landlord had changed the locks. Happily, it was simply a coincidence and I did relax accordingly for two or three hours with some mushroom soup, bacon & cabbage and a pint in a nearby pub/club. The lock simply became very very stiff, and so it wasn't changed or anything (which I knew from the agreement we signed that they couldn't evict us for 7 days anyways) but it was still a time of a bit of anxiety.

So, woohoo, I'm finally home. Oh, and woohoo that it's the weekend. And finally, woohoo that I'm meeting a potential Masters/PhD supervisory person next Tuesday in UCD.

It'll be part of a supplement all about the Naughton Institute that'll be in Wednesday's paper. I interviewed Dr Graham Cross and Prof Stefano Sanvito - do you know them? Also a PhD student and two people who did work placements there (a TY student and a TCD undergrad) but you prob wouldn't know them. They were all v helpful and chatty, made it v easy:)

Cross is new to his lectureship in the school of physics so haven't gotten to know him yet. I know Prof Sanvito, he's difficult enough to understand, fair play to you. Did he say "and then you must deciiiide", it's like his catchphrase and has uncanny similarities to how Borat would intone. Who was the phd student?

Lol, he actually did - maybe he came from Italy by way of Kazakhstan Yeah they were both good interviewees; found Prof Sanvito fine to understand over the phone tbh, so hopefully it'll still be grand when I'm transcribing it tomorrow! The PhD student was Evelyn Doherty. She did Physics, same as you (right?) but she's a couple of years older so don't know if you'd know her?

One very quiet woohoo for 21sts, and the lovely people who look after cooking and music and cleaning up the next morning. Then I'm going to crawl back into a corner and continue slowly dying.

I am Very Excited about the new punk science gallery!

Having been in NCAD and TCD (doing a sciencey subject), I've had my fair share of people mentioning how they're very different....but I've never thought so, they are two sides of the same coin. Now there's a gallery celebrating it!

I can't wait.

I'm looking forward to visiting the Science Gallery, seeing as I walk by it several times a day, and I've been dying to see what it's like. There are new trees outside it, along Pearse Street, too. I always like to see new trees.
