Mod Edit: Just to be clear - this thread is a rag bag of random discussions carried over from the days before Mary I had its own forum. There's some useful gems of information within it which will no doubt be referred back to again as questions about accommodation or subject choices crop up. It's use now will hopefully be…

In typical Onion Fashion, I haven't started yet, so it's not! I suck at guessing, so I'm going to say that you... are... Eddie Murphy... Was I right?

It's HIGHLY likely I don't know your name, but, I'd like to point out that
(a) I don't know anyone's name, it's nothing to be upset about. Please don't take offence to that!:o
(b) If you do disclose yourself, I'll just claim to have known your name all along, so ha!

Well... eh, I play GH and Rock Band on Expert. I guess that's it. And I fight a good Ryu/E.Honda. Sigh, sometimes I wish Mary I was big enough for a gamer soc.

You've crap loads of time left for prep, don't be panicking just yet.

i think 'bikes' is easiest!

need I comment on this?

Personally I find the term 'psychs' works quite well.

The lack of societies is more down to the fact that everyone in Mary I is always so fricking busy! The few socs that we have are all dying slow deaths (with the exception of gaa and midas)....damn you dramatic footballers!!

A gamer soc would be cool, but I don't know if you would manage to get the 20 signatures to set the club up, and then keep it going after you leave the college

you can't technically set up a soc with less than 20 founding members.
And thats coming straight from the su rule book.

but there are exceptions to every rule. So either you are friends with people in the su, or the prez of this mysterious soc was!

nope, no friends in the SU, i just got pissed off that Mary I continued to boast of an amnesty society without having one so we got committee members (just about) and made one! and i'm delighted to hear they are doing far better this year

This just in, controversy strikes the SU as claims of rule bending and cliquey-ness throw the organisation into disarray

Moving swiftly on, who's going to the wired launch party tonight in bakers? We can turn into a Mary I forum thread meet up!

psychology is my excuse....how i hate psychology lately!

Well if they were advertising that there was an amnesty soc I guess it was a rational decision to allow an amnesty soc to be set up with fewer members than the rules require...

G'Luck indeed! They start on Monday?!...Sur all they have to do is get through the week and it's Mid-Term already! Didn't have that in my day..5 straight weeks! Favourite TP though.

And take it from someone who has been there done that, your TP results won't be the deciding factor for getting employment!!:)

cool, thanks, just wondering is all, whats the crack like in Limerick? much like societies in Mary I? Is it really worth the 400 points you'd want to get? hmmm

If your a guy i dont think the societies in MARY I are what will spur you on to get 400 points.

What will give you that drive is the fact that there are 9 women to every man in the college.

enjoy college!!
