I can haz general discussion?

I understand now.

It was grand. Super quiet which was nice, meant I could settle in nicely. Still trying to get my head around the stockroom but I'm sure I'll learn eventually. I guess I don't have a choice!

No discount yet. I'm supposed to wear Barratts shoes but my manager said that I don't have to buy them until I get paid. Saaaaaavage. 25% off all year round and 50% 4 times a year for shoes I'll be wearing to work. Awwww yeah.

Ok, bed time. I'm facepainting kids faces tomorrow so gotta be sprightly. Nighty night

It make me feel old to see all the first years wandering around looking lost and confused. Is so many years ago since I was one of them! OK I am old, but that's besides the point.

Is there a Maynooth skatepark? I've heard there was one in the works, and found some digital pictures of what it would be like. Anyone know about it?

When I was 16 I DID babysit a girl who will be going in to first year this year...

What the fudge is the deal with all the emails they keep sending me?!
I'm after getting about 6/7 emails forwarded from my college account in the last 24 hours!!

Also whats the deal with getting an audition time for the orchestra? Do I have to email someone as it states on the nuim website, or do I just look at the timetable as stated in one of the many emails sent to me?

Names of the DJs playing freshers: DJ Damo, DJ Killian and DJ Rory...

Bet they're happenin'

Ooh, a new guy. Was a female last year.

Monday seems a little early for auditions? I've never auditioned myself (major LOL) so I don't know for sure how early they usually are.

Wondering which Special Topic I should do for my Socio thesis. Lecturer told me to expand on an essay last year when he gave me my result for it, but this year he's covering another topic. And what I want to do spread's to two different topics.

Gah, might do something else entirely.

I do have another question for ya though, have you done your time abroad yet for French? Where'd ya go or where will you be going?

Ah yes, the time in France. Have it done, but you've more or less 4 options to get your minumum of 12 weeks accumulated:

1. Erasmus: You can do the Erasmus programme in either France or Belgium. If you get a grant, it still carries on over to your Erasmus university. This is a very good option, but I decided against it for my own reasons.
2. Teaching Assitantship: Funded by the French embassy, you can apply to become an English TA in a primary/secondary school. It's paid, but only 60 places available in the whole of Ireland so there's competition here.
3. Summer courses/Work: I did this one, but I did both courses and work in a Work Exchange programme. Fantastic experience, but if I go again I won't work I'll be there purely for leisure. You could also find work with a Summer camp in France. Be sure they speak French at this place. I've heard if the dept. hesitates about approving time spent in places like Disneyland Resort Paris because of their multi-linguism.
4. Spend time in France sparingly: If you don't want to do 12 weeks in one go, go for shorter periods. E.G. You could spend 2 weeks one time, 4 week another time, etc. in France. THING IS, the number of weeks has to add up to 12 before you end Third year

Hope that helps. You can PM me for more info about my course

Yeah, I was thinking of doing some work in a French Summer camp this coming summer, end of second year for me. Friend of a friend did it and enjoyed it.

If you go for those two week stints how do you prove to the college that you weren't just there in Disneyland? :P

They don't care if you just went on holidays for those short times :rolleyes:
