Your 1st day back in UCD

Jonny Arson · 12-09-2005 12:05pm #1

So how is it? Any surprises, disasters, people you were unfortunate to meet etc.?

Well it's being painful for me.I went in to 1st year Economics lecture at 9.... fell asleep. Went to 1st year Italian lecture at 10..... snooze. 2nd year Goegraphy lecture at 11..... sh!te and here I am now doing f**k all again just like last year.

May make a trip to the bar soon so hopefully I'll have some legendary Zane drunken antics to talk about...... don't bet on it though, I'm getting to old for this college thing!

I just went to my first lecture back (COMP2006: Databases). Some weird little Italian woman teaching it... stopped taking notes about half way through and decided to just download them.

Doesn't look too bad so far.

you mean u made it as far as 2nd yr and still haven't realised that all comp lectures have their notes online??? ;-)

Yea I remember transferring from eng to comp sci and enjoying not having to take notes in lectures anymore. :-)

Course back then printing was free if u provide your own paper.

ghostchant · 12-09-2005 1:40pm

The first thing i did today was go to the wrong lecture...I couldn't figure out if it was honours or ordinary maths, and i was sitting too close to the front to just get up and leave 15 mins into it. a good start anyway

kittenkiller · 12-09-2005 2:09pm

Bar time now!

Loadsa people form various years repeating various things so if i manage to actually get into 3rd year i won't be alone!
God bless other losers like me!

BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR BAR!!!!!!!!

Well it *is* 3 years since I was doing first year CS! And back then we still *sometimes* took our own notes.

blondie83 · 12-09-2005 7:00pm

I'm just in now - decided to wander in and see what was going on. Good few people still around, and seems to be a nice crowd at the forum..I mean "centre" bar!

Mr.Nice Guy · 12-09-2005 8:52pm

I had a miserable day. Didn't have a conversation with anybody.

I really feel like I don't belong here.

I'm feeling really low.

irlrobins · 12-09-2005 8:54pm

you a first year?

No, 2nd year.

irlrobins · 12-09-2005 9:02pm

well first few days are a bit mad and hectic. Loads of people milling about etc. I'm sure u'll bump into people you know from 1st year over next few days or so. Why not try and arrange to meet some of them for lunch? Or drinks in bar after lectures.

Don't be shy! A lil effort is required on your part. ;-)

And next week the socs and clubs will be signing up. Great places to meet people.

HappyCrackHead · 12-09-2005 9:16pm

SU bar was way too packed aroun 3/4, Centre wasnt bad, but we had all the Sports people in. Fosters 3 euro RAN OUT... sucks but i got drunk....

Blush_01 · 12-09-2005 9:17pm

Hey MNG, if that ever happens again, attack randomers (with frendliness, not lethal weapons or anything).

I'm always around the place, I'm part of the furniture (sorta) so if you're bored, I know how to talk...

Wow, me write english good!

By the way - anyone else finding any of the departments particularly unhelpful?

Had nothing all day, was in at 8.30 and I'm still here, having been to the bar - I need a tent, all this staying awake is NOT working for me!

kittenkiller · 12-09-2005 9:18pm

^^ jeebus girl, what you been up to all day?

HappyCrackHead · 12-09-2005 9:30pm

yeah... i was in college since 9 and im only home... ffs... sleep shower sex... 3 S's

pretty*monster · 12-09-2005 9:39pm

I had such a great day, went to two lectures which were only slightly boring, philsoc managed to host a coffee morning which was ridiculously sucessful for something thrown together on the first day and many freshers showed up despite the fact that they really didn't seem to be listening when I lecture addressed them, got through 40 fags outside the arts block chatting to all the smokers, saw pretty much everyone I'd really missed over the summer as well as meeting a few new people, and wrapped it all up by getting pissed outside the center club.

Dave! · 12-09-2005 9:45pm

You're lucky

kas · 13-09-2005 12:48am

Went in, met a doctor schoolmate, met a masters workmate, met a friend of a friend, borrowed her (D4) friends and sat on the grass for a couple of hours, got burnt.

Went to classes, met workmate, got free stuff from SU tent and went home.

arbeitsscheuer · 13-09-2005 11:07am

Since I haven't passed/failed exams I'm in Limbo, so I didn't really need to come in yesterday. But my mate is startin' 1st yr, so I decided to tag along and keep him company in his Monday lectures.

And my god, are they just as boring as I remember them.

Now, granted, the History one was kinda interestin (which is odd, given that I did that exact Medieval Europe boll*cks course 2 years ago and found it stultifying), but Psychology bored me (and my mate) so much that he lost the will to carry on with the day, and didn't bother to go to his last lecture!!

So we just went to Moda and chilled. Much better than stupid packed, stuffy UCD. I f**kin hate this place, man.

Sorry trib.... didn't see that post of your's til now.

Ah crap day as per usual. Had lunch with friends WOW, went to a lecture WOW and went home WOW. Only funny thing was when i was in my 2nd year info studies lecture and the girl beside me goes ''why does this say 2nd year?'' I say ''because this is 2nd year info studies'' :rolleyes: and the poor thing bails out! Ah bless but i think sending 1st years to 2nd year lectures at this stage is a tad bit unfair!

FAO Zane, I repeated a year in college and it actually was very very worthwhile, thou expensive. You're in the situation where the money doesn't really matter, because you'll have to pay for you're next in college nayway unless you're thinking of dropping the whole college buzz. Hmm you sound disillusioned with the whole Arts thing, and the whole UCD thing, I can't tell you how to fix that. But my advice to anyone that isn't good at making friends is to just join socities and sports clubs and get involved with stuff like that. I think all of my best mates in college i know thru a club or society and not from the course.

Today I was feeling the way I did most days last year, feeling isolated and disillusioned and even my few friends are giving me the ''hint hint f**k off we don't want you around'' treatment after only 2 days. This place is depressing me again and honestly no matter how many clubs/socs I'll join I don't believe I'll ever fit into this place.

Tribulus - be nicer to Zane from now on.

Apart from when trib tries against my will to feed me some of his dodgy homemade protien bars he's quite a good guy actually........ but the whole feeding rats ecstacy tablets does let him down tho'!
