    Yes, but it's more about the alcohol.

    When you see the queue for the bar around four o clock or five you will know yourself!

    If thats what you like to call it. I think mosh-pit or gauntlet of death are more appropriate.

    OP, Go to your lectures if you want, people start drinking around campus whenever they feel like it so you should too. Car park cans ftw!

    As Mikey said, just start your drinking whenever you feel like it (if you feel like it).

    Don't think you'll be seen as a nerd for going to class! Most people do go to the lectures, but the first week isn't taken too seriously. It's more just to get you settled in.. Well, in first year anyway..

    I have a lab first thing Monday morning! Stress of it!

    Going before 1pm to the bar means there is minimal time spent queuing for a drink so horse the pitchers into you then. It gets insanely busy later in the afternoon to the point where going up to the bar is not really an option

    This is not school. The lecturers don't care whether you're there or not, and there is no attendance sheet. You won't be missed if you skip it. But you might get some useful information there, so ... why not just go? :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Akimbo pitchers all round lads. Serious business we're talking about here. No messin'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,847 ✭✭✭HavingCrack


    Its fairly rubbish in my experience. Bar is so packed you can't move. Waiting 30 minutes to get served. Nowhere to put your pint down.

    Better off going to your lectures and seeing is a mate on campus having a session in their res rather than going to the bar.

    My experience anyway :D.

    Black with people more like. It's going to make O'Connell St. on Christmas Eve look positively quiet.

    I suggest you avoid skipping out on any grammar lectures you may have.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 428 ✭✭Joneser


    Uh-oh, look out folks, the grammar police has arrived


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 496 ✭✭bigred100


    The grammar police keep me from being the twat who corrects people's grammar online.

    Will have my Courvoisier getting crunk de la phunk before Glaciers and the Quartermary tomorrow.

    Are small groups / tutorials on in the first week? I am assuming not considering most of mine are before I have done any lectures?

    Small Groups perhaps, but usually no tutorials/labs until Week 3.

    According to my timetable I have a lab at 9 o clock tomorrow! This is surely wrong?

    Must be a fúck up, you'd never have anything like that arranged for the first, or even the second, week. Is there a proper lecture for the same subject on this week?

    If you don't have anything useful, helpful, or amusing to say, try not saying anything. Consider this a warning.

    There are defo labs on next week in Science (3rd pharm, for example).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 161 ✭✭Blacey


    Ah Black Monday. There's also another, more ambitious tradition known as Golden Week - where you go to EVERYTHING, and do all the required assignments. Sortof balances out the Black Monday, and your halo shines for a long time afterwards!

    PS, you do this whenever you like, it's not a fixed thing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 n7sen


    I skipped the monday only because conveniently I had 6 different lectures and all of them are stuff like breakdown of modules, etc. I guess stuff doesn't change even after two years in college and people still can't find out this for themselves.

    missed class this morning thanks to my alarm clock breaking - missed my first ever arch tutorial D: im guessing today was just an intro day and i didnt miss much...well hoping more like.... im hoping a few others were missing thanks to the aftermath of black monday :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,163 ✭✭✭Blut2


    Was the que outside insane all day? It was massive when I went in around 3:30 and there was still a que later on around 10 when I looked again, usually dies down after 6/7pm most years.

    The new Heineken bar was awesome, no more waiting 10min to be served!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,619 ✭✭✭✭errlloyd


    Went upstairs in forum bar around 2pm, empty. Got a couch with some mates camped out.
