    Know Your Maynoothians 2014/2015

    Considering this is the 5th one of these threads I've been in, I'm clearly here far too long..

    Anyways, CAO offers were out yesterday, so I imagine there'll be a few new handles floating around here over the next few weeks and months. Introduce yourself in here, whether you've been in NUI Maynooth/Maynooth University ten years or ten minutes!

    Usual format is

    Name:
    Age:
    From:
    Course/Year:
    Interests:

    etc etc, but feel free to tell us as little or as much as you want, or in whatever way. Introductions through interpretive dance may be accepted.

    2 placements? That is sweet, I'm wondering if I fail my 2nd year repeats would they let me do that. It would be extremely beneficial .

    Took me five years to get through my 3 year degree! Got to do a year long placement and had to take a year out. Now I'm old :-(
    At least I hope that I'm finally finished!

    HELLO EVERYONE!!!

    So, my name is Tomek.

    Trust me. You do not want to know my surname. :D

    I am 19 years old and I'll be 20 on 22nd March. :D

    I am from.... now... You mean in Ireland? A ****hole called Baltinglass in Co. Wicklow.
    In Poland, I was born in Cracow but now when I go to Poland for holidays I usually go to Warsaw because that's where my dad lives.

    Im going into 1st year to do Computer science and software engineering through science entry.

    My interests? Well... I like to play CS:GO in my free time which I have a lot of now until college starts. But Im not a typical gamer like. I dont have any other games for PC. Well, except for The Sims 3 :D but I dont play it anymore.

    I like to sing to myself. I like listening to music (a bit of all genres but mostly pop and R&B). I love watching movies, all genres as long as the film is good.

    Well. Thats about it :D Thanks :D See you...
