    And what is the purpose of the reading week if we have lectures and tutorials during that week?

    I presume this is a study week for us before the exams start correct?

    Not everyone will have lectures that week. The vast majority won't.

    Some lecturers hold revision sessions during the week, these are generally voluntary.

    Some lecturers will hold an extra lecture if they haven't covered material, but AFAIK the class has to agree to this or else they can be in hot water with the college. (might be mistaken there, that's just what I was told a few years ago)

    Dubstep, Indie and Electro. It's one of the best nights out in Limerick. A bit different to anything else, but class! Definitely something you should try at least once.

    Is it not just the presale tickets that are sold out? 70% of the tickets are at the door I heard.

    Yeah but "at the door" means going at about eight and standing out in the freezing cold for two hours til doors open. My costume is too much to put together for being ready on time and not half warm enough to be standing around the place :P (which reminds me, I must finish making it...) I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth it when we need 10 or 11 tickets.

    Susi are a nightmare to deal with. After 2 months of waiting, I got a letter today requesting my holiday earnings( payslips for Easter, Christmas and the Summer time) even thoug I have already provided a P60. I rang them up and he claimed I would have to get them even though I had supplied my P60. These are going to be very annoying to get and seems like a pointless exercise.

    How can It take them over 2 months to come to this conclusion?

    I'm not sure tbh. I think it's 60 days from the start of the semester so that sounds right.

    Not sure what happens if you don't pay on time tho!

    So my housemates all keep getting e-mails from village reception but I never get anything.

    Can I email them so they have me on the system or is it better to go in to them?

    Probably should ask them especially if you have fees to pay for the accommodation and if you don't pay your fees on time, they can evict you in 7 days plus they have information that you would need to know such as the works on the paths behind the Scully wall and the bus stop beside will be out of order or house inspections coming up next Monday and advised us to have the house cleaned..

    I have been receiving letters so I know when to pay but just not emails telling me about house inspections. My housemates always keep me informed so I'll go in to reception tomorrow and ask.

    Thanks though.
