Get somewhere to stay for the 2 weeks?

Stay in a hostel. Make a dublin friend. Go out on the pull and shack up with someone. Walk to wexford. Get a really expensive cab. Dance on grafton street for hotel money. Chat up the invigilator and see if he can *ahem* make some arrangements. Construct a rudimentary shelter out of books and stationary (tippex makes a decent adhesive). Divest a homeless person of their sleeping bag and find a comfy doorframe. Learn how to apparate between now and then. Find an abandoned house to squat in. Camp in the JJ library (á la Black Books).

Think outside the box! :pac:

check out www.d4hotels.ie cheap rooms they might even reduce the rate for long term stay

I start at 9am the first day and finish at 8pm the last day. I only do 5 modules, I hoped it would be a bit nicer :P

fluorescence's ideas are nothing short of brilliant though

Ask your landlord if you could rent a room for the time your exams are on.

Talk to your landperson about staying up for the exams? And, for next time, Plan Better. Commuting up from Wexford on an exam by exam basis is a plain bad idea, you'd be better off to just rent long enough to cover it next time.

Not sure about that. Walking to Wexford in order to do an exam in UCD might just be an eensy-weensy bit short of brilliant.

I was referring to getting home afterwards, but if the OP is an extra bit special, who knows? It might work :P

Perhaps you need to visit the doctor and see if they have something for the irony deficient.

Perhaps you could divert your energy to encouraging reasonable suggestions for the OP around exam-time and not worry about my irony 'deficient'?

Would actually be your irony deficiency. I think even the OP would appreciate fluorescence was being humorous and not in a cruel way either. There have been lots of reasonable suggestions for the OP, including my own earlier in the thread. My favourites are enquiring about staying an extra 2 weeks in digs or finding cheap accommodation.

Allow me to apologise most profusely for giving suggestions that were not entirely serious. I didn't realise the UCD forums had become PI.

Oh right then. I'll have to get that seen to so. If it was just the ould iron deficient I might have plodded along.

I think you missed my not exactly serious point that the word is actually deficiency. You can be deficient, but you have a deficiency. Odd explaining that given my original line was about irony and a lack thereof!

Oh and I said IRONY not iron!

Very odd. Ironic even. If you search my last few posts you might find a little dollop of irony in there which clearly bypassed you first time round.

Well you were still using the wrong word. So it was ironic I was explaining something about a reply I gave about irony. I didn't say you didn't get it or that your last 2 posts were not ironic.

You should have quit while you were ahead. The series of double-negatives in your last sentence smacks of sullen defensiveness.

It's not really that important.

Okay so - I would recommend you stay in London during the exams and fly over on the 6.30 flight from Stansted every morning.
