Fresher's First Day

So how was everyone's first real day of college. Mine was okay, I only had one lecture and I skipped my first(but not my last) practical.
Oh God I'm gonna fail!

Dave! · 12-09-2005 8:54pm

mine was good

my first lecture was biological and developmental psychology, and it was fuggin deadly! muy interesante indeed. had 2 other lectures too, not as good though.

I am soooo tired, though. Gonna go to bed soon, lol.

Andore · 12-09-2005 8:58pm

Had 4 lectures today which was a heavy start, 2 on Psychology and 2 on Sociology. The lectures were good but I am not so sure about the 3 hour gap I had

irlrobins · 12-09-2005 9:03pm

ah u'll quickly fill that with trying to get your essays written and studying for exams. They're only 14 weeks away you know! :-P

Edit reason: Wanted to fix spelling mistake so it at least looks like I graduated from UCD! ;-)

Waltons · 12-09-2005 9:04pm

Muahahaha I've got every Monday until Christmas free

irlrobins · 12-09-2005 9:06pm

Nice. 1 girl I was helping to pick her modules in the labs last week managed to get fridays off both semesters and have only 1 lecture on Thurs. Nice!!!!!

Waltons · 12-09-2005 9:09pm

Fridays off both semesters?? That's pretty damn sweet! I had to sacrafice monday - thursday 9 ams for my monday

irlrobins · 12-09-2005 9:12pm

Fecking engineering and science! :mad:

That's my day tomorrow... and because practicals haven't started up, I only have 2 lectures too.

ghostchant · 12-09-2005 11:00pm

I have 3 maths physics lectures tomorrow. In a row.

rainbow kirby · 12-09-2005 11:12pm

That's a kick in the pants.

BKtje · 13-09-2005 2:54pm

I spent 30mins trying to find out which bloody theatre i was supposed to be in.
While UCD seems to be more organised than DIT was , as least DIT gave ya a nice shny timetable with room numbers etc on it

Ah well i found em all tho felt a lil sheephish walking into a couple of em late. Im sure its not the last time

i'd really like the chance to do that course.

I'm sure you can with the Horizons lark!

I've got a lecture in it tomorrow morning, can't wait, lol. The introduction lecture made it seem cool... like she was all, "we'll try to answer questions such as, 'why do we eat?' and 'how can we trust our eyes?' (which was followed by a b*tchin optical illusion!:D) and 'how do past experiences affect our behaviour today?'"

Seems pretty trippy

Anywho, I'd look into the module times, etc., and see if you're able to do this at some stage.

Waltons · 13-09-2005 3:18pm

*Sigh*. I have ended up in the microeconomics class that was designated in that timeslot for Commerce people. The site said absolutely nothing about this and it was news to me (and the 3 other arts people in the course).
The Comp Sci introduction was pretty enjoyable. Lotta people doing it though :eek:

rainbow kirby · 13-09-2005 3:20pm

Half of them will disappear by the end of the week.

Waltons · 13-09-2005 3:26pm

Yeah, it does seem that way. The girl sitting beside me said that it was going to be the best series of lectures ever because the lecturer was giving us a 5 minute break every class. That's what I call dedicated

BKtje · 13-09-2005 3:31pm

hehehhe.

Your man seemed to be lost at sea. Poor chap. Nothing was working out for him

13-09-2005 3:46pm

Yeah. His microphone, the power lead etc.

Wonder if the rest of the classes will be like that. :rolleyes:

ah good old fintan

had my first pharmacology lecture today ( i was one of the select few who got it...go me

) looks cool, we're being enticed to pick it as our degree with offers like you get to give rabbits ecstasy in 3rd year!!! Probably not true but still...drugs

Dave! · 13-09-2005 4:05pm

Poor rats, just misunderstood

Ruskie4Rent · 13-09-2005 5:12pm

Ooh I was at that. Yeah it seems interesting enough but your man was a bit dogey though, I thought.

Kate_17 · 13-09-2005 7:26pm

I was also fortunate enough to be at a lecture with Fintan this morning.... the battery on his laptop went resulting in another 5 minute break

tribulus · 13-09-2005 7:28pm

wait 'till you get joe carthy for some lectures, he's a funny lad

rainbow kirby · 13-09-2005 11:20pm

Joe Carthy is a legend. End of story.

tribulus · 13-09-2005 11:25pm

too right basically told us the questions on our summer exam....."now people you *really* want to learn this bit" etc. etc. nice one

o and that illision thing was deadly i didnt get it though til it was explained to me by a girl beside me....

Scraggs · 13-09-2005 11:31pm

ok too lazy to go back and edit [sorry]

Day1 Monday-was alright felt a bit lonely though i did talk to people...but they werent the sort of people who i would become friends with just passin time if ya know what i mean
I really like the subjects i'm doin except irish kinda scares me!!

Day 2...eh was supposed to go to a welcome thingy but i woke up late and didnt bother...oops! went home on the train at 3.

wont be back til next sunday night!!!

God not a great start eh!!!

tribulus · 13-09-2005 11:39pm

i suppose i'll do mine:

monday: in at 1 for one lecture in biochem - very interesting but looks sh1t hard. Got my practical assigned for wednesday 10-1 rather than 3-6 so that's grand.

today: lectures from 9-1

only got in for 10. Pharmacology looks cool but again fairly daunting amount of work, MCQ after each unit, lots of reading.

timetable working out better than last year so far though i'll have 3more hours per week than last year.

Hours Monday: 10-6, Tuesday: 9-1, Wednesday: 10-6, Thursday: 9-2, Friday: 11-4. Still have to add on 1 possibly 2 tutorials but better than last year's 9am start every day :mad:
