Crash

Yeah fresh prince owned. btw funky you're in my class.

Funky

Ooer Computer Science buddy! You any idea how big the class is?

Crash

Dest

pfff comp science, who the hell would do that?... oh wait...

Chick

i didnt think bad boys was too bad anyway. are all of you guys doing comp sci and tp and all those kinda things? you must all be really smart...

Nietzschean

not really, they were stupid enuf to do these course's weren't they?

John

A lot of people in college you can describe as follows:

The brains to get the points for <insert course as appropriate> but absolutely no cop on

Funky

Funnily enough that doesn't apply for most people doing CS because it's such low points though :P

It seems to be the people who actually want to do it...

Now orts on the other hand !!!

Nietzschean

erm low points compared to what? not to other CS courses.....
So ye'd have higher points requirement for yer field, his statement still applies imo

Chick

orts, god yeah its insane!
but at the end of the day which would you consider to be more valuable ; common sense or intelligence?

the mind boggles....

I know its been brought up in previous posts, but points and all that are completely irrelavent once you're in college. The LC was just a measure of how well you can memorise stuff. All i'll say, just from my opinion and not saying that everyone is the same, is that the higher the points scored the more likely the person is to be...a bit odd! eg lot of TPs slightly odd, CS less so ant the oorts are pretty rounded ppl!
As for the will smith debate, Fresh Prince was classic, Bad Boys and iRobot were good too, independence day was ok...but he has made some royal turkeys in his day...

depends there now. the exams are a test of that but there are various ways to learn said info. I could never just memorise stuff out, i hated doing that so what I did was simply get the basics, understand it and work everything out from there. but then again i did all the mathematical subjects really. or at least the ones that required reasoning (dont have the patience to sit there and cram stuff i dont understand).

on that note :

Now this is the story all about how
my life got flipped, turned upside down
and I'd like to take a minute just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air

In West Philadelfia born and raised
on the playground where I spent most of my days
chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
and all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
when a couple of guys said "we're up in no good"
started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
and said "you're moving with your aunte and uncle in Bel-Air"

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
licensplate said "Fresh" and had a dice in the mirror
if anything I could say that this cab was rare
but I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel-Air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
and I yelled to the cabby "Yo, home smell you later"
looked at my kingdom I was finally there
to settle my throne as the prince of Bel-Air

Chick

yeah i suppose ill forget all about LC results as soon as i start, but all this hanging around...what else have i got to think about?

sleepingbeauty

saw the fresh prince episode when carlton dances to tom jones today lol....that programme is classic

(dont have the patience to sit there and cram stuff i dont understand).

i didnt have the patience to learn off stuff i didnt like, take irish for example.. all those damn poems and stories, im soo glad to be in college now

PrecariousNuts

Pass Irish heh, I really lacked any willpower what-so-ever to learn anything for that. I think I managed 10 lines total on paper 2

Lol same as me. I still don't know how I passed. I didn't do the oral and hardly did anything on paper two. Ten lines seems about right.

Crash

...I had a race during paper2 15 minutes to answer all questions then run out and go for a pint

John

For my leaving I did paper 2 in half an hour (pass of course) and spent the day studying what was tipped for home ec that afternoon. I ended up getting a B3 from that little bit of study. And I passed Irish. But the LC was a joke

Chick

thank fcuk its over

sleepingbeauty

i did honours irish...why oh why did i decide to do that...talk about two years of hell. i ended up learning like one poem and one story and just prayed theyd come up...and guess what? they did! he he he i was quite pleased with myself

thank fcuk its over

yeah i remember that feeling from last summer, nice isnt it?!

Boston

I did the pass Irish exam twice, I was that damn bored waiting to leave.

ApeXaviour

I went to the gaeltacht 3 times and was even a cinnire.. Yet I still did pass irish and got a b2 pretty much only on the basis of my oral. I'm very good at that

Chick

i managed an A2 in pass irish, lol dont ask how. i only knew half of the poems and stories. its great bein able to waffle tho, especially cos u cant do it in maths or a science subject

PrecariousNuts

Wow has anyone done honors irish here at all? Actually it makes a lot of sense that everyone detests irish, you only need a foreign language to get into Trinity. We can feck the bog language out the window

Random fact of the day: the dep pres, pres, and education officer of the students union are all fluent in irish...

ApeXaviour

That's cos none of them are sci-eng-med sci etc.. Who notoriously dislike languages. Betcha Niall Morris (ents officer) isn't fluent, that's cos he's a sci student

Chick

never woulda thought thatd be a requirement!

PrecariousNuts

D3 in (honors :rolleyes: ) german, c2 in pass irish, I'm terrible at languages. Guess I'll fit in nicely.
