Bad choice, it was class! :P But I think thats mainly cause I was able to be backstage and spent ages talking to him :D 13 year old Laura's lifelong dream has been achieved!

I reserved a book for the first time ever yesterday and its due back tomorrow, does that mean I can go collect it tomorrow and where do I collect it from?

You'll get an email when it's ready for collection, all depends when the person returns it.

2 litres of lucozade in preparation for midterms and assignments

I remember when energy drinks had an effect on me

I only drink the stuff when I need to cram :P

Aye Red Raisin is just somewhere you avoid.. particularly if you're in a rush.. :P
Remember taking 5 minutes getting through. Pocket full of leaflets from every party and promises of sweets. You'd swear I was voting for them on the spot. :P
Ran into another one of those charity groups over here the other day, actually passed them, thought I was in the clear, had headphones blasting and got chased down. What is it about me that people think, he'll give money. I dress like a slob most of the time and I was on my way to train station. I could've easily wrapped it up with a, sorry no, I'm late for my train, but I knew I had to come out the same doors again, only going in for ATM.. :P
Anyway, after a 10 minute talk through fractured English and many fruitless attempts to get free I gave in, ready to give them some change. It was an automated card one though for a min of 15e a month.. I became a bit of a bast@rd then though and knew how I'd get out of it. I got my uni card days before which also serves as a bank card... when it's been activated. Mine hasn't, but can't tell that by looking at the card.. :P
Took it out, had all relevant info on and let her off.
3 minutes later, it was all done.
Usually I wouldn't give out actual phone number but felt because of area code she might ring me to see if it's actual number so I did.
I walked away that day thinking I won something. Since then I've gotten about 10 phone calls off them, 8 in the one day. Thought they'd go away but after persistence today I've just blocked them, don't know why they feel need to call me..
Now, reading this you might think, what a cheap ****er, but actually pretty giving, it's just I'm living off grant and loans at the moment, I can't afford an extra expenditure, especially a rolling one. Try to save money wherever I can, usually at a loss to myself, 15e isn't a lot but it's a lot more than I would've gave on the day if they were collecting in a bucket.
Usually give a euro or two if there's a sticker with it, otherwise I'd get hit a few more times by them. A sticker is a 'get away from me, I've already donated' sign
The way she was explaining it at first was like she wanted me to go to Africa and help out some children.. Recoiled and told her I don't think I understood her properly. :P
Seemed like a nice girl, doing what she could, but I made it clear beforehand that I wasn't interested. Thinking of learning off a few sentences of latin claiming it's my spoken language. :P
Stick to the buckets. I know cards are safer but the amounts are ridiculous for students. If I want to give to a charity group via card I will, don't need them to track me down..
Angry again now.. :S

Why isn't there ethernet and plugs at every desk in the library..? I'm stuck to this shítty wifi and on the verge of running out of battery.

Are there plugs in newspaper room yet?
Could find somewhere in college to charge it up..
Lot of students steal ethernet cables for student villages I think..
Know in Groody they weren't supplied so brought mine from home, doubt every student did..

I mean, the desks that doesn't have a plug for your charger or an ethernet port. It's one of those desks at the end of the library, overlooking the avenue road.

Eugh, they've made their way to Italy.. :S
Groping library couple sitting next to me, sharing a laptop then every now and again kissing and groping.. Sitting right next to them.
Someone's approached them, I think to ask them to be quiet (in Italian) but they're off again.. :S
