Summer Loving

cson

So what y'all at after the exams for the 3 or so months of the warmer-than-usual-but-still-exceptionally-rainy season?

I'm stuck working on coop daydreaming back to my J1 last year.

Mossin

Im doing a wonderfully exciting 35,000 word thesis due in September.

I'd rather be on co-op!

cson

Jesus Dave, I thought my 8,500 FYP was gonna be tough :eek:

Nah, you don't wanna be on coop. You're living the college dream right now :P

SarahBeep!

Haha I'm probably gonna be shot for this......

I DON'T WANT THIS YEAR TO END!!
Prepping for the leaving this time last year had me miserable, thinking I didnt get my course and would have to repeat had me miserable, friends all going onto different things.....

But it's actually been the best nine months ever. No word of a lie. I'm actually gonna be SO miserable this summer
To think I got bored over christmas, what am I gonna do for three and a half months!!

*sniffle*

Co-Op in Galway. Earning monies, saving, hopefully getting my programming skills up to snuff.

Found myself a job in Limerick so I can stay up instead of moving back to the country that is incredibly boring and has no 3-D cinema

cson

Kudos on the job, I can't imagine summer jobs will be at all plentiful this year,

After spending erasmus in Austria last semester I landed myself a job in a Irish pub there in Graz for the summer, heading over next week

8,500 words! ffs, that'll barely be my literature review for my thesis! the fyp is grand though, I just hope this thesis works out to be the same!

Ask DJCR and Burning Eclipse what their word count is, and you'll see the injustice being done to my class!

I'm living 'a' dream right now, I havent reached "Van Wilder" status as of yet, but maybe one day!

Nice, I'd love to work in Irish Bar somewhere foreign, it'd be handy out I'd say.

Busi_Girl08

Aw DAMMIT, cson!

Now I have "Summer Nights" from Grease stuck in my head!! :mad:

Feck it, if I'm going down, ye are all going down with me
Summer lovin', having a blast,
Summer lovin', happened so fast,
I met a girl, crazy for meee!
I met a boy, cute as could be....

Anyway, to answer your question...not much
The job front is not looking good. Like an idiot, I left the job hunt too late and now there's nothing.

I do have a lovely wisdom tooth extraction to look forward to, fun

Nockz

Hopefully I'll get some kind of job this summer Going to see Megadeth down in Cork in June... or whenever it is lol. Studying for at least 2 repeats anyway as well hah!

Rineanna

Somehow managed to get a job working for a company in UL for the summer, and in something degree related which was an unexpected bonus. Was kinda resigned to dishing out CVs for the summer.

Robo_Mike

Co op for the summer for me in Raheen! Delighted because i get to live near UL!

PeakOutput

ill be on my third j1 to my beautifull converted american school bus campervan in the forest in maine WOOP WOOP

Raheen is the opposite side of town from UL...

Nagoh

Joining the mad dash for summer jobs, spent the day in CSIS labs trying to get the printers to behave while they printed CVs :P

And of course, I have a mad urge to join OPC now that it's finished up for the year. A brief trip to Lahinch has brought back the urge to go rock climbing. Typical..!

But summer rent over here is so much cheaper! And considering two of us in the house will be driving to Raheen anyway, it works out for the best! That plus the fact we can just take a house for 12 months, rather trying to find two houses.

if thats not cheaper then raheen fair enough but just fyi

I had to get THREE removed this year. Two at the one go. The extraction is ok. It's when to needle is injected into your gum about 6 times, into the nerve too if you're lucky.



Ummmm well, for the next month, I've a bitta money coming my way. Made 50 squid there from babysitting for 5 hours! :eek: Also got the Street World Performance Championships of which I'm volunteering at and a few parties.


Then I'm going to Glastonbury for 6 days. Woot ****ing woot for that! Excitement can't possibly describe it. :pac: I've spent more time studying the clashfinder and maps than for my exams I'd say!

Then I've a job sorted for a month in a booootiful boarding school south of London for a month, teaching English to European kids which is A/ Great money and B/ Critical experience that will push me ahead of the Co-Op game for Argentina in September.


For August, I have no idea, I'll probably focus on getting my FYP started. FYI any potential Applied Language students: You have to have your FYP proposal done by Christmas of 2nd year and the full shebang done by end of 3rd year! This I did not know until recently!

Not too worried about that, really. I'm going to be knocked out for it.

Just not looking forward to the aftershow :P

I'm actually looking forward to the party in the plaza taking place on 3rd June, and also to the summer gigs in Thomond Park! I'll be working there for them all - hopefully!

pervertedcoffee

Aww, jealous!

Who else is going to the party on the plaza? I'm not sure weather I should go or not. Also, job hunting is no fun. T-T
