"What are you gonna do with your LIFE!?"

I wish I knew. I also wish I could make a ****ing decision for once. This or that. This or that. I chose that. I now want to go back to "this". Maybe the grass is just always greener? But why do I need "this" to validate my intelligence? Surely "that" is just as good, if not better? Swallowing and accepting vs thinking and deliberation. Qualification vs fun. The paths not chosen, the possible regret of going right rather than left.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.

Try being in final year and getting the panic (since lecturers are telling you to go for interviews NOW!). Engineering? Moi?

Incidentally, does anyone know what they wish to do or am I correct in assuming that the fun lies in the journey to find out what you want to do, even if it takes 50 years?

I'm glad we got some closure on the europerson/girlfriend issue. When can we expect to see the sex tape?

After repeated warnings about our kitchen being a mess we're now being threatened with a fine which they're apparently serious about. As if it wasn't annoying enough that one person takes over the kitchen and makes 95% of the mess, and that I have to wash my dishes before using them because someone has left them dirty, I now also get fined for the pleasure? Great!

Some finger pointing is in order, I think. Possibly followed by some wallet liberation. Further followed by free drinks (after you've paid the fine, duh)

I had one idea when I was starting the masters, I've changed it a fair amount since then and now that I'm past halfway through I'm sometimes debating chucking the whole thing in entirely and switching careers
don't worry, it's normal...


I hope...

Some ****er set off the firealarm at half four. Lucky that I was still up reading but STILL.

IzzyWizzy

It was the guy next to me - again. Has he not heard of an extractor fan ffs :rolleyes:
I had only just got to sleep at 4, and then after that I couldn't get to sleep until about 7. Overslept then and missed my morning classes, and a meeting with my head of department. :mad:

Someone changed the lock to the Physoc room without telling anyone on the committee. We discover this with just an hour to go until the talk on nanotubes. It had to have been done today because tonight's booze was stashed in there yesterday. Which meant we couldn't get any of our reception goodies.

After running all over campus, talking to several security personnel, I finally left my number with the guys near the theatre.

I return to the room find a rather angry crowd awaiting free refreshments and getting angrier. Get a phone call saying the building manager (or someone to that effect) would be along in 10 mins. Disperse crowd. 25 mins later I ring security, wondering what the story is. And here comes the rant.

I was told that no one would be coming out to us. The locks were changed for a reason, it seems. He starts asking questions about this mysterious 'Physoc'. Where did you get a key? How long have you been using the room. I answer all his questions, and ask him one: are you accusing us of squatting? He replies: well, thats just the thing. You can take it up with the buildings officer tomorrow. I said I would and hung up.

More refreshments were bought, so no problem there.

Still, I'm extremely indignant. He accused me of illegally using the room. They wouldn't even send someone out to explain or even survey the problem. Honestly. Why would I go to security for help if I was abusing a room on campus?

This is just a big pain in the hole. I'm going to give them absolute hell tomorrow.

An absolutely hackish rant, but if I have one more problem with another one of my events I'm going to start hurting small animals.

Where's the room? Not house six?

gymrabbit

it's in the hamilton near the maths library i think

Tacitha

Thanks - I just heard of trouble with keys in 6.
Good luck with the Buildings office - it's a very powerful institution.

I detest buildings. were talking to accomodation to try and get our keys fixed so we can get in house 36, and a locksmith is sent over while we're out


when we return, there was a post-it on the door saying "Your key will work in door 37 - locksmith".

I knew it worked in door 37. how the **** else had I been getting into my apartment? through the ****ing window? This is the billionth time i've complained about this and they're just such plonkers.

Boo to the new look ireland.com.

because that walk from house 37 to house 36 is just so damn far?

Its quite irritating when you go out door 36, go "oh shag, forgot something", turn around, and suddenly realise you have to go on this stupid roundabout way.

I feel your pain. I really do. I find that the only thing that will get me to sleep by a reasonable time is alcohol, and plenty of it. This encourages me to go out an awful lot, which is going to eventually leave me with bankruptcy and a drink habit. Maybe I should give sleeping pills a go....
