Official bitch about daily life in UL

3 pigeons have gathered around me, I think they now understand the benefits of working for me.

God, this is why I love Ireland. Everyone had brought bags and jackets and we just dumped them in the Schuman foyer. :pac: I just feel that's such an Irish thing to be told to do something and then be like "Meh, I'll just bring all my stuff. Sure everyone will do the same." :pac: Never good at following rules. Reminded me of this (skip to 7.45) :pac:

What time is the library closed at? I have a book that's due today and I certainly don't fancy walking in that weather for a book

This confused me so much today. I haven't been in the library since they made that returns slot so there was me standing at the machine for checking out books getting horribly confused about why I couln't find the return button. I don't know hoe many time I checked those books out in those few minutes trying to return them. I got so frustrated! :pac: I was completely lost until I saw a girl go up to the machine beside me with books, look confused and then turn around to see the return slots. That's when I realised what was going on!:pac: I'm such a dope!

Relax, you have less than 2 weeks to get home for Christmas.. Loads of time really :P

Sure I live near the border up in Louth and it takes 5 hours for me to get home by train but thankfully, my dad's coming down to collect me on Tuesday so I can take my PC home for the holidays so it'll take me 3 hours to get home

By the time I finish my exams, I'll have a week :P That's a full week of snow. I live in Donegal, in the mountains, there's already quite a lot of snow. The 8 hours to Donegal won't be too bad, they'll keep the roads gritted. The road from the bus stop to my house though...

Only until next week! I want it for Christmas, then it can feck off again. Even just the ice. I don't mind the snow so much, you can get around in that. The ice is what makes you stuck on the top of a big hill for weeks on end.

Lads, would ye stop talking about snow. We've a wedding the 29th and my parents have basically been having a sh*t attack over the possibility of snow since the date was chosen about a year ago....

Yeah, I used to get the Bus Eireann for UL to Dublin which took a pain staking 3hours long and then I had to wait for about 40mins to get the next bus to Dundalk.

I couldn't cope well on the bus for 3 hours, especially if there's no toilet. Trains FTW :cool:

No deal, I won't be finished until next Friday, so I won't have any snow

It would take me 3+ hours to get the train home, at least its 1.5 hours on the bus and then 30 min drive. Which isn't that great either considering that it only takes like 1 hr 20 mins to drive all the way..

Keep an eye on the Boards.ie Thanks List...
If MTCranium is at the top of it, best start investing in Huskies and sledges for the big day.. :P

When do Spring semester timetables come out? Presume it'll be around January?

Snow is awful stuff. The novelty wore off about 10 years ago for me... it's just cold and miserable


On a positive note, easy exam today (although if i get too cocky, I'll undoubtedly be disappointed).

I like snow, but only if I don't have anywhere to go. We rarely get it! There was some snow here this morning but it's all gone and there doesn't seem to be any sign of more appearing.:(

In my exam today I spotted a poster on the wall saying the dates when students can register for the repeat exams... Don't get too, ahead of yourself now UL! :P

Stables and Sports Bar I'm sure. The shop should be open for a while as well.

I may have thought today was Saturday temporarily and was wondering why you said Stables and the shop...
