The Official Woo Hoo - Happy Days Thread

cson

We have the bitch thread and it's popularity of recent times is unnerving, you'd swear UL was a desperate place to be :P

So lets have a complete opposite thread - what made you smile today or made your day? Looking forward to anything in particular?

Me = Xmas Daze, cannot wait!

Mossin

This thread is a very good idea imo..

I know that I started the daily bitch thread as I was having a particularly poor day, but UL is a fantastic place to be, and most days do not involve awful things!

So, I'm glad that the Stables is open again on Sunday nights!! I was able to go out tonight for a few quiet pints and be home at 11:20pm also..

I missed my Sunday night pints!

The fact that you can celebrate Christmas a whole month early

Snakebites in the stables and the occasional 13 tap challenge

and alcoholisim not being an issue!!!

The pints of Guinness in Stables and Scholars, for some reason when I started UL this September I thought that being student pubs the pints would be rank, but they're pretty decent to be honest.

Bumping into people you haven't seen since primary or Junior Cert around the place is great. I met an old friend today on the bus into town, hadn't spoken in ages to him.

Apart from my rant on the other thread just now, I had quite a good day!

I love the full-brekkie in the Paddocks..€5.80 for it, with tea and toast...superb stuff, all nice and fresh about 9am this morning...started my day so well

Then got feedback from a lecturer about a HR interview I conducted last week, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well I did, as I really was looking at getting a D-grade in that module, now I'm possibly looking at a C-grade of sorts

Also, the KBS is so nice and warm in comparison to my house...Its comforting [kinda] to be in there all day..

Soup and a roll in the Plaza for 3 euro. Divinity

Mr. K

That warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you hand in an assignment you're happy with or do a decent presentation.

I realise that the feeling isn't specifically a UL one, but I think the whole place looks brighter afterwards. It wouldn't be the same on any other campus!

The chocolate stall is great. I go every Tuesday now, without fail. My usual is the Raspberry Square, but I tried Mint Caramel today; lovely.

i drooled a little - i have to agree i had this mint one before teaching practice and I CANT GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD - IT WAS 8 WEEKS AGO!

I'd murder a pint from the stables ....not cashels, or Murphy's or smithwicks,

actually maybe just Guinness

I like this thread

I get to interview Fred later! I love An Focal today.

I am delighted right now!

Handed in a business plan project which was 91 pages! :eek:
Yes I said 91 pages. It was almost twice my FYP...and it felt damn good to submit that today

Definitely going for pints tonight [cos I missed out on last night]

Mossin

One essay done, and a day in advance too!

*Now to the other 2 essays and presentation to be done

Mossin

This must be my most productive day ever!

Second essay practically finished with just under 4,500 words written! [I had written just over 1,500 before today]...
But still, 2 essays down 1 essay to go!


I kinda wish I had Xmas Daze tickets now...but no!! I still have a third 5,000 essay to do, and a presentation to prepare for...

Seachmall

Just got an A1 in a project which gives me an A1 or A2 total in that module, made my week.

Risteard

Wahey, my case study is done and everything balanced and the numbers made sence to me. Yay.

(I hope it's right.)

When your lecturer tells you that the 20% for tutorial work and participation is safe as houses with two tuts to go , that was a good day!! :-)

Just got an A2 on my first ever sociology essay. WHOOT!

billy the squid

Got a C2 in the sociology essay, which is good as I fully certain that I was going to get an F.

Niamh_

Since I just posted in the 'bitch' thread and I don't want to act all negative:
I did better on my Public Admin essay that I had anticipated.

pervertedcoffee

I finished the most painful essay I have ever had to do!!!! Whoooo! I may fail the essay (no sense of false modesty intended) BUT it's bloody well done!! *dance*

snazzy

Like I said the Official Bitching Thread, I spent yesterday in UCC.

Now UCC is incredibly pretty and you don't have far to walk to get anywhere and they've a Bagel Bar, Quiznos Subs and Apache Pizza on campus and their lecture halls are great etc... etc...



But the place definitely lacks a certain buzz and the people are definitely not as friendly.
Thus it makes me feel so grateful I go to UL.
Wouldn't change it for the world despite the fact that UCC would have been an easier choice.

All done at last!

My last assignment for the semester submitted about 10 minutes ago!

Thats 16 for the semester, and now just 2 exams to sit

What a relief to have all that work done...I'm almost excited to be studying and not doing project work! :rolleyes: [Yeah right, who am I kidding]

DJCR

Jut finnished my first exam relatively unscathed!!!!!!!! Whoop whoop!!:D:D

TheSpecialOne

the fact i didnt fail my public admin essay!!GET IN!!:D:D:D

Mossin

Just got another "A" grade in the marketing module for my masters!

I'm a little surprised by it too, but now I have the module passed before sitting the final exam which eases the pressure quite a bit

metamorphosis

Even though i am not looking foward to final year xmas exams, i did ace my exams on the weekend course that im also doing, and on last friday handed in a 50% assignment that had been a cnut to deal with and im somewhat optimistic about my 12:30 exam - ireland and the world economy as although i have not done a whole lotta study for it - my topics i did glance over a re garunteed to come up. Will have to do a lot of study for health sociology in a while though

Ooh....good at maths then, and physics.

What are your other choices?

Bigrob

cant get enough of the maths and physics......!!
i actually have cad engineering in ul down second followed by engineering ucd and physics ucd!
i'll be so delighted if i got ul, judging by what people write on boards and such it sounds like the place to be!!

thanks for the tip ryanf1!

ninty9er

You'll do very well if you enjoy maths and physics. I know a few people who've done it/are doing it and they seem to enjoy it. There's a trip to Spain involved at some point too AFAIK.

UL is an excellent experience. If you have any questions about student life, post here, or any specific queries you can email one of us in the Union.

Bigrob

Alright thanks guys! Hopefully see you next September!

hi_im_fil

Bigrob - The Cad and aero courses are pretty much the exact same for 1st and 2nd year anyway

Dante on Fire

FYP title and supervisor sorted now i can actually get to work nerdy as it sounds i cant wait to get this done so i can enjoy college

Mossin

I have already been given 3 module outlines for next semester, so we can prepare for the onslaught in advance...I dont know whether to be happy or sad, so I'm being positive!

keep and eye out for a good bitch in a few days time when I see the workload involved

TwilightFan88

Getting food perks inside in the Paddocks!! Good days!! :-)

And Recommendation Letter from Lecturer that's brilliant! :-)

Mossin

Waking up at 9am on a Monday and realising that you dont have any college on Mondays! Then turning over, and not getting up until noon

Then spending an hour catching up on an assignment, and suddenly all appears a little rosier in the garden!

Busi_Girl08

I'm finally getting somwhere with my Entrepreneurship assignment!!:D

And I have my groups sorted for my other 2 Marketing module projects!

It's all coming together
