k i really dont know how to do links so i doubt this will come up as one, but if you just copy and paste the above it should lead you to our timetable for next year!!

9-21:30 on thurs guys!! WHOA!!

spraticus

Yeah i saw that, but it seems to talks from guest lecturers

hellother

yeah! how bad you think it be if i missed one of those, meant to be heading to a debs, not mine, that evening, so would have to leave college round 3 or 4!!

spraticus

I'm sure the lecturers wouldn't notice and if they gave notes you could always get them the next day or whenever you recover

Casok

ye wats the story with that thing, can you get the notes the next day off the internet? do alll lecturers put them up or wat? I'm missing the full orientation week and first 2 days of lectures cuz g2g to wedding in italy .. have cleared it with the department but im just wondering if you can get the stuff you missed off the internet or wat?

hellother

i dont really know bout notes but ill prob be seeing my friend later whose in 2nd yr so ill ask him then!

but as for missing lectures he said just get ppl to sign your name in if they look for attendance but most don't! have 2 debs to go to so ill def be asking peeps to that for me! :)

oh and Sofi....check out "know your DIT" last page, comment by CptnRed. We already have someone that holds a grudge against us and we havnt even started college yet!!!! lol :P

hellother

oh and casok...wedding in italy?? .......jealous!!

Sofi

Hehe hello ther:p Your right, we haven't even stepped foot in the college yet! sorry Cptn. Red:( Oh has anyone heard of 'Fred'? they any good?? my speakers won't work on my computer:@ rrrrrr I want to know what they sound like!:)

hellother

well i looked them up earlier and i really like them!!! i say theyll be class live!! only listened to two songs but they sound very promising!! i like the song "running" in particular, but dont wanna chec out the rest so if theyre good it will come as a welcome surprise!!
the codes are also very good.

though saying all that we may have completely different tastes of music!! my fav artist atm is florence and the machine, so if you like her, our tastes could be similar, if you hate her.......we should prob stop talkin now :P:L:L

yeah full moon party sounds class!! is anyone gonna buy that ticket for a tenner that gets you in anywhere?

spraticus

I'd like to buy one of those tickets, but isn't there only around 200 of the for sale?

Tbh dont fancy spending my thursday nights in college when i could be watchin skins or the inbetweeners, or even missing 3euro drinks, hmmmm.

grodge

hello all.

im a former arch tech student and its a great course but requires lots of hard work.

studio is an ongoing process and accounts for a good 70% of the wrk your going to be doing throughout the 3/4 years.

my advice is go to all your lectures, there is only about 10hours a week lectures and the other 30+ hours are studio work.

work load is fierce so its important to keep on top of it. do your assignments as soon as you get them, just go to the library for 2-3 hours and get them done and out of the way so you can concentrate on your studio work. i was spending 9am-9pm 4 days a week in 2nd year and burned out big time, had to repeat the year.

take this advice, i know what im talking about.

and most of all enjoy. the lecturers are bang on and cormac allen the department head is really into getting to know everyone, you will be on first name basis by end of year one.

hellother

coco, almost 18? whens the birthday!? we can have our own little archy party bash!! :P

and thanks for the heads up grodge, will keep that in mind!!!

so one day till we start!! whats everyones general feelings?! excited?!
i cant wait myself, though i know ill spend a good amount of time getting lost and being confused....i cant wait for the proper week of studio and the likes to start...then we'll feel like proper architects!! :cool::p

.DarDarBinks

Ahhh i cant wait, its gona be like first year all over again, without getting battered this time (fingers crossed) :pac:

Coco_16

kinda psyched now ..cant w8 for freshers nd finally gettn in 2 the swing of college life :L:L ... bt worried that i'l end up lost nd alone haha :P

and oh i'l tell u my birthday in person .. !hehe:P

.DarDarBinks

Let the fun begin
