    Basically put up your rating of the day[you don't have to explain why]

    I just think it's a good halfway between yaaahh and arrrgh for those several degrees of "meh" we all go through.

    10-so good it should/is illegal.


    1-I've just failed 15 out of my 12 college exams and owe my drug dealer my legs.

    0-need a hug

    11-for when you just need to crank it up to 11.

    Justst an average enough day at school, waiting for the final few months of last year to come to an end.;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 241 ✭✭thatone!


    It just hasn't been a good day :(:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,082 ✭✭✭Pygmalion


    10-so good it ... is illegal.


    1-I ... owe my drug dealer my legs.

    0-need a hug

    Reads like a depressing novel tbh :P

    I'll say 6 or so, started back in college, fairly good day but nothing spectacular about it.

    Also not sure I get the point of the poll, since we can only vote once it becomes obsolete the day after you cast your vote?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Ginja Ninja


    you can vote multiple times[maybe i'm taking this the wrong way]

    I was just putting it up to see how happy/sad we all are over a period of time

    EDIT:yep,your right,internet fail to me,I think.

    Yeah you can vote for more than one option, but only if you vote for them all simultaneously :P

    A three. Better than I expected but I'm still quite upset.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭SarcasticFairy


    Today was made of fail for a million and one reasons. But I'm finally starting to get some kind of grasp on Nervous Shock (have to write an obscenely long essay on it..) which is kinda nice... So like....3. But I would also like a hug :p(Pretty sure I'd need more than a hug if my day was worse than failing 15 of my 12 exams and I owed my drug dealer my legs! :p)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭msbrightside


    i put down seven.
    good enough day but nothing that spectacular!

    Woke up this morning, having slept on my hand, so it was totally numb, meaning when I picked up my phone to turn off the alarm, I dropped it instantly.

    Legs were too stiff to even consider trying to go to college for my early lectures.

    Had a shower, struggled to get out because it was so nice and warm, sore legs+nice shower=win. This made me miss my bus that I needed

    Realised I have a stupid amount of assignments and tutorials to do this week.

    Went all the way to the library in UCD only to have the most unproductive 3 hours of my life.

    Got a roll in 9-11 which was the most half assed attempt at a sandwich I have ever got, never going in there again if that guy is serving.

    Went home, had duck for dinner NYOM.

    Went to work, found more boxes of crap hidden away taking up space, filled with stuff the school doesnt need, but wont get thrown out.....

    I am now procrastinating. :(

    5ish?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,590 ✭✭✭Pigwidgeon


    I went for a 7.

    Made it into college on time, went to all my lectures, had a 3 hour break before my tutorial which I spent in the library catching up on notes.

    Got home and dinner was ready.

    Planning a holiday in the summer with my boyfriend which will be fun.

    Oh an my mum just made more home made flapjacks.

    Pretty good day :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Went for 3.

    wasn't very happy with how business exam went and i'm just feeling kinda down.

    Oh man I hate when that happens. I sleep between my elbow and my shoulder, or just my entire body on one arm, and the arm goes completely numb, I then wake up, it feels like I have no arm! I'll never forget the first time it happened, frightened the **** outta me!

    Anyway, when the alarm goes off, or the phone ringing in the morning, it's a major pain in the arse.

    I went with a 7 - had a good enough day at school, got a decent enough amount of study done, I have an Irish test tomorrow but I don't feel completely unprepared. I'm still behind in a few subjects, especially German and English (quotes...oh quotes) since Christmas. With friends and everything all is grand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,321 ✭✭✭Jackobyte


    Actually on the inability to re-vote tomorrow, mods can edit polls right? Why not just get them to black it every day???

    it'd be nice to,but we can't really expect them to.they aren't all on everyday you know


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    Stayed up too late last night, forgot to change my alarm from "vibrate" to "ringing" so I slept through it, missed 3 lectures, made it in for my last one only to find that it was a complete waste of time (remedial anatomy in a physiology lecture, nonsensical), bought some groceries and am now in the library on boards when I should be preparing for a 9 o clock tutorial :(

    But I met up with some lovely girl for tea and I don't suffer from any chronic illnesses or drug addictions so I gave myself a 10. Love my life :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,062 ✭✭✭DancingQueen:)


    I gave myself a 7. My guaranteed A in Biology didn't happen in the mocks today but i have the next three days off and next week is the midterm :D so yeah i'm pretty happy.


  • Moderators Posts: 8,678 ✭✭✭D4RK ONION


    Went exercising and playing badminton so I was at a 8, but then some personal problems so about a 5 :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,164 ✭✭✭Konata


    Going with a 5.

    Got anitbiotics off the doctor. Missed all college including a chem lab but I have a cert so meh. The damn train was a commuter one so queue 3 hours of fidgeting in an attempt to get halfways comfortable. Optimism and motivation obtained in the evening.

    Prospect of 8am appointment is annoying me. Really need to sleep.

    It kinda makes sense, but at the same time seems entirely superfluous.

    It seems like it'll end up being used exactly the same as the Yaaaah and Aaaargh threads kinda.

    (0+10)/2 would be the average rating of how all my days have been.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    I got up for my 9am lecture at 2pm.
    5 hours late = 5 rating for me. =/

    On the plus side, I'm eating a hot chicken roll right now. Om nom nom.....

    A 6,perhaps a 7, until I came home from school. Now, a 3. 4 at a push.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭SarcasticFairy


    Like, maybe a 5.

    It beats yesterday's 3, anyway :)

    That opening line made me read through your post as if it was a blues song. Not a very good one, though. :(

    One day......One day, when I'm a famous blues artist, that will be my hit.

    Today however;

    -First lecture was cancelled, lie in!

    -Met up with a friend who I havent seen in weeks, got to ramble as Gaeilge with him for a while.

    -Had a physical chemistry lab, about blood buffers, took an hour and a half (Normally take fúcking AGES) so getting out quick was nice!

    -Am now in the library, being stupidly unproductive :(

    7 (I'm ignoring the poll)

    I've a craving to be all creative and rework it into a classic but I've one thousand words in an essay left to write. :(

    Combined with my flat's microwave breaking (I now can't have dinner) and discovering that I've two assignments to do for tomorrow sometime I'm giving this day a meagre four. It could fall to three depending on how hungry I get in the next two hours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,248 ✭✭✭Slow Show


    3, I had a bad day :(

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,893 ✭✭✭Davidius


    My day is now a 10 for the simple fact that I can assign it a value of 10.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,477 ✭✭✭grenache


    don't feel great at all to be honest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭msbrightside


    Today was surprisingly great! :D
    Starting talking to this girl today that didn't really know and it turns out she's really nice!
    also met up with a friend, bought some cool stuff and got some free stuff aswell.

    but i think tomorrow is going to be a bad day though :(

    Utter boredom and a complete lack of self-will inspired the 'My Name Is Fad Blues':

    Today had it's ups and downs, but mostly ups. I'd give it a fair ole 6.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,810 ✭✭✭Seren_


    Today was a 6 for me too, surprisingly good! I did well in an essay I thought I hadn't done great in, it was nice and sunny today, and I got a lot of random crap sorted out too :) Listening to The Specials now too, nobody can be cranky whilst listening to them!


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 7,849 Mod ✭✭✭✭suitcasepink
