Official Bitch about daily life in NUIG!

Saw this on the UL forum, thought it might be a good idea to start one on the NUIG forum!
Just basically post here what kind of a day you had in college! Whether it was a crappy 3 hour lecture you endured, spent the day in the oven of a library or hung around the college bar all day! Whatever.... you get the idea!

Don't wanna be pedantic but..."bitch" means.... ah never mind.

I got up early. My bus to college broke down but I still got there at a reasonable time. I then went to an interesting talk by an esteemed psychologist.

Stupid lecturers who talk way too fast and change slides before anyone has the notes taken down, and then they tell you the notes wont be on blackboard!

Not much annoys me - but I get slightly irked by lecturers who go over time. One time the lecturer was babbling on until 10 past the hour, and the people coming in for another lecture after appeared to be quite confused.

There's this one lecturer we have for first year maths who laughs at the most mundane stuff. It's impossible to understand what he's doing or to take him seriously, but he'd put you in a good mood I suppose.

I can't really think of anything else infuriating about NUIG, but I suppose I wasn't around here for long;).

I was supposed to hand an essay into my 10 o clock lecture this morning... arrived into pc suite at half nine to print it.. finally got a computer at around 10 and didnt have any print credit.... so i got credit and queued again, eventually when i got my essay printed i didnt have a stapler. So I bought one any eventually stormed into my lecture at 10.50

The library steward's desk has a stapler you can use for free.

you were an undergrad once, remember?

fecking dossers on the computer suites. two girls logged in, put some copies in front of the monitor, then walked off somewhere to probably get tea. didn't come back for about 45 mins, all the while 3 or 4 people waiting in queue to get on the computer suites. if i was waiting, i'd just have logged them off and threw their stuff aside feck them anyway

The price of every meal in Friars, Smokeys and The Bialann needs to be cut by at least a euro to make it reasonable. In friars its €.79 for an apple?!?

Sofas need to be brought back where Starbucks is now

They need to shift the books over from the middle of each floor of the library to the outside, that would block out the sometimes ridiculous sun.

Reading room needs plugs on the desks like the library.

Someone needs to tell people to shut the hell up in the study areas in Cairnes.


Rant/Bitch over... Phew

In The Bialann it costs about €6.30 for a sandwich, crisps and an orange juice. You could buy basically the same thing in Tesco for €2.50.

There are signs that say something like "These computers are for serious academic use only." You'd feel like moving the signs right on front of them, but I never have the courage.
