I want to bitch about the copier in the Student Union.The thing broke down today even though I paid for my notes.And another thing why must we pay for notes?I had to pay €25 for politics notes. :mad:

It probably would've been cheaper to buy the book that contain the notes.

I'm gonna bitch about my crazy-ass timetable. If I decide to do Field Theory, then I'm in 9-7 on Wednesdays,9-5 Monday and Tuesday and in at 9 for 1 lecture on Friday. You'd think mathematicians could work out a more logical timetable than that! Grr...
Also the lack of decent veggie food on campus. There's only so many O'Briens or Grind wraps you can eat...

I'm in a bitchy mood today so...

1: My timetable sucks, it's really sh1tty - is 1st year science always this time consuming
2:On wed, thur, friday I'm not off till 5 + it takes me 2 hours to get home leaving college at that time
3: Where's the goddamn hot food in the science canteen? any other students who use it should boycott the place till you can actually buy a half decent lunch.
4: Is there ever any space in g15 - i'm always having to go to the '1st yr' computer room in the cs building - the rules of which are being blatantly violated!!! +when you do get into g15 , is there anyone there who knows how to SHUT THE HELL UP
5:GGGRRR... :mad:

My timetable is pretty cool.
Two 9 o'clock starts, otherwise 11 or 12.
Finished by 1 most days 'cept two.
Thats the only reason I'm doing arts/comp - the hours are cushy.

If I must bitch then I would have to say that sitting in Dadalus at lunchtime everyday, with no friends isn't much fun...

MatthewVII

And why the hell do lecturers put their slideshows on Blackboard in a totally unprintable format?? its the most annoying thing ever.

Yes, yes it is. Get used to it. Unless you do maths/maths physics as your degree subject. Not as many hours but loads of problem sheets...

2:On wed, thur, friday I'm not off till 5 + it takes me 2 hours to get home leaving college at that time

Know the feeling.

3: Where's the goddamn hot food in the science canteen? any other students who use it should boycott the place till you can actually buy a half decent lunch.

There's a petition to bring back the hot food. The URL is in another thread. And the Grind pwns it anyway. Just don't go at 1.00!

I'm in G15-("the gents", it was a gents toilet when I was in 1st year...) right now and yes, there is space. The reason nobody shuts up in there is because it's all the same people in there who used to live in the old room 219 computer room before it was replaced by the maths department. There used to be a back part to it cut off from the rest of the room so the gamers were as noisy as they wanted to be. Last year everyone used to play Red Alert 2 in there.

I want to have a little bitch about this ignorant arrogant misoginistic self infatuated commerce prick that I had the absolute mis-fortune of encountering this week.

I was in the LG's in the arts block minding my own business coming out of the computer area and walking down by the Drama Soc area by the stairs down towards my locker, when all of a sudden I had as someone put it an "impromptu shower". This prick who was queuing to buy tickets for some "focking" stupid C&E or some up other jumped up hyped up society event, decided that it would be mst humourous to throw his bottle of water over the stairway and soak a young maiden (who was wearing a lightly colour t-shirt at the time that went rather see-thru;)...joy..and who subsequently had to go to a tutorial and meet new ppl she had never met before..i'm all for sharing the usual things-hi im such and such and im from here but i think showing off your boobs to complete strangers the first time you meet them is going a lil to far..).

Initially i saw the humour in the whole thing, I'm not that much of a tight wench, so I went upstairs to talk to them about it, assuming it was an accident or something like that...ha.My naievity. The commerce lads had taken a trip out of their Quinn school for the day to show off their new highlights, dubes and watever new fangled gismo phone that Daddy had bought for them, and decided to act the arse in the arts block. :mad: Anyway, the bollix was on the phone, well actully as soon as he saw me coming over he took out his phone and called "Fiacra" or some other jumped up b*llix.

Anyway there I was soaking wet, and his mates and himself having a right ol chuckl about it..I had been prepared to take it as a humourus event, but because he acted like such an arrogant prick I just went to town on him and well, he was a lil red faced after I was thru with screaming at his pretentious ass, then and later when i had the misfortune in bumping into him yet again, however i kind of feel that it was a bit in vain..seen as how Daddy probably paid for him to get to college he probably didnt understand half of the "big" words I used.

Other then that I've had a pretty good week tho

Actully no i didnt. Buses in my area went on strike, had a major fight with the boyfriend(however the making up part was quite fun ), have big money problems stupid non jobness-and i cant get one because of my timetable, bumped into an evil X boyfriend and my timetables all over the place with like 3 hour gaps here and there.. but even with that I'm quite happy.

seriously for some reason im happy.

its mad.

*Sinéad*

i don't know why but the 3 or 4 hours spent on a bus is depressing the fuhk outta me.I don't expect some spiritual enlightenment from commuting, but it's pure torture.And the traffic; why won't people get off my road!!!

alana- some people are just pricks, keep up the good spirits.

Red Alert

That can't have been very pleasant Alana! Come and join EngSoc, we're a much nicer bunch than the C&E!

Alana

Cheers Sinead and Red Alert I agree about the whole bus thing, i'm up at 6.30/7.00 to get two buses in for 10 o'clock lectures..cant wait until i've 9.00 ones..ho hum..

Yes i agree, eng soc rocks I just want to make myself clear tho, I dont have anything against that whole genre of people i actually have a few good sound (believe it or not) friends in commerce but their are just so many (pardon the language) w*nkers....and oompa lumpas, how girls can do that to themselves i'll never understand-ur irish-ur naturally pasty!!!

I might actully just do that, all the eng soc people I've met so far are lovely, and really sound..although one members choice of clothing is...um..interesting..one thing i'll say is flyers...only flyers..and a rather large spanner..well if the scots can do it, why not i suppose however not to sound like a spanner (hehehe) i dont do engineering so wouldnt i be a lil out of place in the soc...?

I know how you feel.I too am up at 6.30/7.00 to get two buses except I have 9.00 lectures and I have them Monday,Wednesday and Friday. :mad:

I'm always arriving late for them and I've only been on time once.On one particularly bad day I got on a 10A instead of a 10 and I only sensed something was wrong when the bus stopped at Stillorgan instead of the Campus.I had to get a taxi back to UCD.

ferdi

well i failed my repeats so i'm back in first arts....thing is, i only have to take one subject so i have 18 hours........................per month! hahahahaha!!!!

i think we should burn down the quinn school of business and also turf all the jocks and umpalumpas, who tried to get commerce but failed and had to settle, out of arts.

i also want to kill that fat mess in services, he is the dark haired fat scumbag. his facial expression is one of stupidity and settled ill temper. He thinks he is some sort of tough cop working the hard streets of a dangerous city, this is confirmed by the fact that my friend saw him in a spar near campus wearing a NYPD t-shirt...hahaha. i've seen him on two occassions harrassing that old homeless guy with the beard who walks around campus. the harmless old man was just minding his own business and that fat mess of a bully comes over and starts giving him abuse for no reason, what a prick....what i wouldnt give for a harpoon gun...

rob1891

I have been here 5 years on & off, so long that I am now running into my kid brother on campus.

They are paying the equivilant of nothing, which is only slight better than having to pay fees myself.

I have no office and have to mix with filthy undergraduates

The only thing semi healthy and nice to eat is gone (baked potatoe in the Science canteen).

I have 3 more years left

On the positive side, nothing beats a couple of beers with your lunch and no worries about losing the rest of the working day

Glad to see the oompa loompa phrase is catching on in these boards
+thank you alana, finally i've heard a another girl say that fake tan is horrible and makes otherwise attractive (sometimes) girls look a lot worse. :eek:

My biology lecturer's pissing me off, all he does is talk, doesn't put any notes up, never know what the **** to be taking down. For first year ag. sciences.

What I love about ag science is 90% of guys act like they've never seen a girl before(on the night out last thursday anyway) makes me look phucking great!

Most people are great to talk to, not much dickheads must say i like this place a lot

They probably haven't!

Personally I think most people in commerce should be "hung, drawn and quartered", They are full of there own **** and they all seem to be oblivious to the fact that regardless of how good or bad they perform they daddy will still buy them a nice nerw golf/clio and get them a job in a marketing dept. of some mobile phone / radiostation!
Oh did I forget to mention that they all seem to be trying alitlle too hard to be american jocks.

oompa loompa's are definitely the scourge of UCD, words can't describr how much I hate these bent bitches.

theres always the option of contracting jaundice for the average person who doesnt want to have to trowel on makeup and fake tan just to get that knackery look.

Hmmmm, there's always been a lot of jealousy involved in other students attitudes towards the Commerce breed. Clearly the fact that they are a better healed bunch all-round, who'll cars you'll be washing and children minding, and houses building and computers fixing in the future doesn't help.

Bottle_of_Smoke

Although i could never wear their silly clothes i have to agree with the above poster on jealousy of commerce heads.

I think they look ridiculous but i don't ever think about them outside when I see them, stop being jealous people nothing to be jealous of!

As well as the obligatory Dell bag.

True dat! but that doen't give them the right to be self worshiping assholes , does it?

rainbow kirby

Hell no.
What's really funny is when 1st commerce have to come down to the science block for one of their lectures. They all come in huddled close with their heads down, like one long snake. Talk to nobody and out as quick as they came. It's like they're afraid they're gonna catch geek or something.

3:the ridiculous amount of books to be bought for english

Your chemical expertise would be much appreciated, and then we can have a hearty celebration in the pub

or not get arrested... and get wasted in the pub....

ooo we could get drunk and then blow stuff up . Then claim that we were served dodgey pints(which going by some of the pints i've had recently on campus would be blievabl) or unknowingly drank "magic" pints, or "magic" brownies..and they had strange trippy effects and we weren't responsible for our actions thus avoiding prison..and decimating them,hurrah...

I havent thought about this too much, or gone and researched blue-prints or explosive techniques or anything......

eh....

ah i love them really just think of how boring college would be without their..amusing presence...(feel free to insert annoying, painful, cringe worthy, or any other such adj where you wish)there wouldnt be as much color(pinks, oompa lumpa orange and peroxide yellow)they take away from the doom and gloom of the stark cold grey concrete, and we'd have so little to moan about...

na feck it prefer my first idea.

A21* is a close knit cell of friends bound by there extreme hate of UCD services, we are and underground guerrila movement. A21 stands for August 21st ,The day services caused great stress and much anguish. Only true members of A21 know what really happened on that faithful day, well.. i'd tell ya but its a long story.

If you are every in trouble A21 a line, you will find us very helpful.

One thing I want to bitch about is those 'Sexism' people. (I put it in quotes because it's not really sexism.) They are the people (women mainly) who have complained about the fact that a poster has some tits on it. They have been indoctrinated in the 'I'm a victim' cult, where they think they have/are being opressed by straight men and they are trained to see opression and victimhood everywhere.

They walk along campus and see a poster with some cleavage. Their philosophy states that men don't really have a sexuality (like the victorians thought with women) so they think that the poster must be aimed at them or women in general. Due to their obsessive compulsive victimhood they are convinced that this must be some part of the grand conspiracy that all men have to opress all women (which they are convinced exists). So it must be sexist, since it's a tool to opress women, not really a way to advertise to us men who brains have evolved to notice women's bodies.

They 'want to create a safe space' which basically means they want everything to be just they way they like it. They don't want to live in the real world where not everyone is the same, where people have different interests, different tastes that you may not be interested in. In the real world you somethings have to say 'I don't live that, but you're not forcing me to do it, and you like it, so do what you want'. They don't want to do that, they don't want to grow up.

Yet these are the same people who will use posters of men about to kiss, and will throw a hissy fit if you should pictures of straight people about to kiss, or engaged in some sexual act. If you complain about their posters for using men as objects you will be branded a bigoted pig and they will compare you to Hitler.

They claim they are fighting (it's always a fight against the grand conspiracy that us evil straight white men are part of) for womens rights, yet the want to cover women up, like in saudi arabia or iran, which have the worst human rights when it comes to women. They seem to be saying that women should have a place in life, a place where they can't show off their bodies. The woman's place in the 21st centuary, not far from the woman's place in the 19th.

Right I have to bitch about the absolutely terrible computers in the 4th year elec project lab in the engineering building. They are absolutely impossible to work with - can't download any programmes properly, routinely switch themselves off for no reason - mine won't even let me log in under my normal user name! Then every now and again a blue screen comes up telling me its dumping memory - which worries me slightly I'm trying to run a program on a CD at the moment, but I keep getting "unknown errors". It's annoying cos its something that would be handy for our project too.
