To move aside from banquo and I exchanging sandwiches and pennies in the grant cheque thread, and any other random off topic ramblings we all do now and then, I propose some general discussion! I didn't go all cheesy and name it after a pub, go me! So why is everyone on here on a Friday night? I'm broke, moody and have…

You're welcome.

Students. There's a thread with people giving out that the questions on our exam yesterday weren't similar to the ones on the sample paper we were given. Personally, I thought that it was a bit naive to assume that they would be so I said words to that effect. And then someone responded saying that it was insensitive of me to say that.

Yes I know, Internet = Serious Business and all that, before anyone posts it.

Happened to me before. People just don't like being told that things are their own fault!

I can't remember the last time I posted on Moodlein ages, though I have just seen a great line from one of the better lecturers I've had:

You guys really worry too much. Honestly you do!

Does anyone know if NUIM has a darts club? All the recent action on tv has got me interested in stepping up to the oche. I didn't see one on clubs and societies day. I don't think theres a dartboard in the SU Bar either. Plenty of other third level colleges have clubs. Does Maynooth?

There isn't, but if your interested why not set one up? I think dart boards in the SU is a great idea, and something I will look in to.

No, the new system will cover both campuses.
You can buy a permit for 20 euro for the whole 2nd semester,

Applied Music Techniques went pretty alright! One more exam like that and I'll be able to statistically say 'they're going well'. Come on Classical Mechanics...

I as far as I know, Applied Music Techniques is very like the old 2nd year Paddy module (MU203?). There's only been one exam before the one I did today.

Alright. I've got Lagrangian/Hamiltonian stuff up to scratch, and I'm cramming rotations now. Jon-Ivar said the rotation question would be like the previous exam which wasn't very hard... :S

Yeah, I was thinking that... It's certainly the hardest bit of the course anyway. But looking through some past papers, there was so much you could get done with only Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, that I put all my eggs in that basket.
