I've a dilemma about the whole house thing. I need one for next semester to get a job...but I need a job to pay for the house...

sibby · 15-05-2015 12:47pm

Well if it makes you feel better houses are much cheaper during the summer around UL.

Chris Martin · 15-05-2015 3:56pm

Worst person ever to organise houses as I won't commit myself until I know I've passed the year.
Paid an extortionate amount on a flight to Seville because UL were so late on getting back to me.

On the topic of the thread though both Seville and Venice are great places to be

wnolan1992 · 15-05-2015 4:42pm

House for the summer sowted!

Downside: Got a non-committal answer about September. So I don't know whether to take another house or hold out and hopefully stay where Iam...

Yeah, really should have done this earlier in the year. $:\$

Just got an email from another lecturer about another project....
The lads and I got 40/40 each!
We have an exam for the same subject tomorrow, and it's our last one, There's a good chance of A1s all round!

Virtual worlds?

Aceandstuff · 16-05-2015 10:58am

Yes. Famously easy exam. Got out early enough for the McBreakfast McMenu.

Aceandstuff · 16-05-2015 10:59am

Do I know you?

jamo2oo9 · 16-05-2015 11:06am

Nah. I'm in the same course though. Was a nice easy exam, finished in about 25mins.

iLaura · 16-05-2015 2:17pm

Goodbye third year!

Hopefully...we'll wait till June 22nd

sibby · 16-05-2015 2:44pm

Finally finished exams....it's been a long five years! Just got to get this thesis over with and then I'll be finally done!

onethreefive · 16-05-2015 3:58pm

I ran out of time in my last one but I hopefully still did ok

Hopefully! :P

Half the students were out in about 40 mins. Must been easy.

LilRedDorcha · 17-05-2015 11:00am

Finally finished all my UL related exams

Undergrad and Postgrad are now done. It was a nice 5 years but my god, so happy to finally be finished

Daniel S · 18-05-2015 6:21pm

FINALLY finished exams!

Ah nvm, I'm in games. Didn't realize systems was doing Virtual Worlds too. I couldn't even tell you who the class rep for games is so I'd be surprised if I knew any system reps.
I don't know this J2DL person, so definitely not them anyway

Ah, well you probably know me to see, even if I don't know you.
I'm not a class rep, I'm.... SOMETHING ELSE.:cool: The systems rep dropped out and nobody wants to replace him.

J2DL is an in-joke. It doesn't matter who you are anyway, as long as you're not yer man with the coat....

jamo2oo9 · 18-05-2015 8:19pm

I just realised something when I got home. I forgot to take down the posters in my room. Is there anything I can do about this to avoid them deducting money out of my deposit?

onethreefive · 18-05-2015 8:43pm

I never fully appreciated how nice the living bridge is until now!

Chris Martin · 19-05-2015 12:09pm

Read post then checked time :P
It's amazing at night :P

iLaura · 29-05-2015 10:22am

Whoo! Exactly a month after everyone else I definitely have a school for placement this time

wnolan1992 · 27-07-2015 5:08pm

I got €95 extra on top of my deposit from Dromroe. SCORE!

Ave Sodalis · 04-01-2016 12:10am

FYP supervisor has replied to an email in early January and has some parts available that I won't need to order!

iLaura · 04-01-2016 12:34pm

My supervisor got back to me too! I still may not have a title, but I know what I'm doing and can FINALLY start my lit review

Daniel S · 21-02-2016 2:08am

Asked for my P21's from 2012-2015 as I was getting a bit desperate for money. Turns out it's more than enough to cover my maxed out overdraft.

Tears of joy!

:D:D

I really didn't think I'd get much back! :eek:

On that note, I got a cheque back from UL on Thursday for €600. Apparently FYPs only count as one module if you're linking in, not two. I wish someone had told me that in September... :pac:

ricimaki · 30-03-2016 9:06pm

FYP done and dusted!!!:D

And the demonstration went better than I expected too!

Best of luck to everyone doing theirs

AND ye got a free pint today.

I have nothing good to say about how my FYP write up is going so I'm not gonna say anything at all.

iLaura · 08-04-2016 3:23pm

FYP done!

wnolan1992 · 08-04-2016 7:08pm

*obligatory*

I won a bloody Smedia for UL.

iLaura · 11-05-2016 8:15pm

WHOOOO! 4th year over done and dusted

I had one exam go absolutely horrifically for me, and that I needed a minimum mark in the paper to pass. Spoke to the lecturer today and he told me that even if I don't get the minimum mark in the paper, I've passed the module already based on coursework. Though if I don't get the minimum mark in the paper I'm capped at a D1. But still, no repeats and I get to graduate in August. Whooooooooooo

Bye bye exams. Bye bye assignments.

And it's actually like summer today!!!

Daniel S · 13-05-2016 11:07am

One exam left at 4pm, which I think I've already passed...

Can't. Wait. Any. More.

TMJM96 · 13-05-2016 5:54pm

There's a very very very very slim chance I may have an internship in UL this Summer!

I'm not finished exams yet but I feel like I have and I'm just in such a good mood!

Daniel S · 13-05-2016 7:40pm

Degree finished (hopefully, last exam was a disaster!).

Anonymagician · 14-05-2016 1:06pm

First year all wrapped up and I finally get to move out of the house that has the worst group of people I've ever met in it! What a day

TMJM96 · 14-05-2016 4:48pm

Finished my last exam of first year and it wasn't a total disaster!

Aceandstuff · 23-05-2016 9:08pm

It's been about a week since I found out, but...

....I GOT CO-OP IN TRANSYLVANIA!

Nope.

False alarm everybody.

I'm actually unemployed again. I have to start the co-op process again. After knowing that I had the job for over a week, and everyone in the co-op office knowing it, and them congratulating me yesterday, and everyone preparing documents and forms and my medications, and things I'd need to study before I started over there...

They REJECTED me this morning. I only did their 32 tests in a programming language not really taught in UL after learning the thing in one night and aced it like. Of course I'd be the incompetent intern!

If they wanted to reject me, two weeks ago was the time to do it.
I NEARLY BOUGHT INSURANCE!

Oh my god. That is so ****! Can you make a complaint about the company or anything? Hopefully you get another co-op fairly soon!

Aceandstuff · 28-05-2016 4:24pm

Everyone is aware of the situation, they got the email when I did, and they're looking at more hassle now as well. There's no point complaining about the company in this case. I just have to keep going.

The real problem with this is the amount of time I had to spend from week 12 through to the end of exams with their interview and test process, and then the extra timesink of preparing to move to Romania. I went to the trouble of researching everything about the place, letters were prepared for my insurance and other forms, and I was about to spend my remaining money on insurance and winter gear.

I suppose people only need professionalism until they have a job, then it's optional! Co-op students have to take their first offer like!!!!

Chris Martin · 07-09-2016 12:21am

Why is this thread always so hard to find!
Cheer up!
Finally moved in!
A little late but I'm here..

oseia · 07-09-2016 8:30pm

Posting 'cause this thread needs more posts. :P

My time at UL ended surprisingly well, actually managed to graduate when I was meant to there a couple of weeks ago, my fourth year grades were so much better than any other year so I got a right (pleasant) shock when I got my final results, and my FYP somehow a.) got finished in the end, and b.) got an award, despite me not at any point knowing how to write an FYP.

Jealous of everyone starting in UL this week, would love to be doing it all over again (just without the assignments and all that).

Apart from the craic of it all I'm also gutted to be missing out on the free pizza in the courtyard this week.
