    I think if you buy a print card in the arts block shop it only works with the printers/photocopiers there?

    Ah damn :-(

    The utter disappointment in myself when I get up and dressed for a lecture and then give up going because I'm late... I seriously need to work on that!

    Don't worry, there is always someone who can help you. :) Unless you want a quick tutorial now on boards.

    Well I'm not quite sure if there is a way to print something from your own laptop (if there is I never figured it out). That's what I always did: emailed my assignments to myself, log onto library computer and printed it.

    Thanks! Where is the library computer? I suppose I need to purchase a print card from the machine before I begin printing and have to input a code or something?

    Sorry for getting back to you late. Yes, you need a printing card and you can purchase it beside the entrance. There are lots of computers around the library on every floor. When you print something off, you need to put in your printing card to the machine beside the printer, then you have to find your student number and print your stuff. Printers in the library are at the back, beside group study area :) I hope this helps

    They use the rules for contributors to the Irish Historical Studies journal. I'm not sure if that's the same as Harvard, but this is what we were told to use.

    And here. My workload for the semester consists of:

    2000-word essay, due November 7th
    1500-2000 word assignment, due November 19th
    2000-2500 word essay, due December 10th
    Portfolio of unknown length, due December

    Add to that semi-regular page-long assignments in the latter module, and it is literally the most work I've ever had to do over such a short period of time

    I may actually have to study during Study Week :eek:

    I remember last year I was complaining about the amount of study I had to do, but I was commuting so I had a good excuse not to study much but now.. I have more the twice of what I had to study last year and as I moved to Maynooth I don't have an excuse for not studying any more :(

    I'm not really sure how you study in college yet? :confused: I'm getting the hang of things like referencing, knowing my way around the library, doing assignments etc. but I'm so used of just rote learning everything from school that studying in college seems very different! I expected all the lecturers to be giving us detailed notes which we go home and learn off... but instead it's more like them giving us the basics and expecting us to go off and read all these books. Gah! I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually :/

    I have to read a book by Monday and then summarise it in my own words.

    I have a 1500 word essay due next week. I don't even know how I'm going to write it 'cause the 4 titles to pick from are confusing as hell.

    I have another 1500 word essay due in November, along with a 2000 word essay.

    And to top it all off, I have a full-time job where I work 7pm until 3am every night so that restricts my available time.

    Can I win this round?! :pac:

    Starting to get my boogie on to this right now in PACR. Getting a few funny looks but I don't care. I play by my own rules, no one elses, not even my own.
