I know I'm sounding reaally kinda stingy. But like in a way I also think I'm right
Why the hell don't people in my house notice that heating is kinda expensive and to just turn it on when we need it?
I walked into the house last night with no-one in it. And the heating was on -_-

And now I wake up this morning and the heating's on.. When every other morning since our boiler was broken, it wasn't actually cold anyways.
Like my job doesn't give me enough money to pay for bills if they go high

This drives me nuts aswell. Everyone in our house decided we'd just wear extra hoodies instead of turning on the heating :P

It's only three weeks into college and I can already feel myself starting to crash and burn. Somethings got to give, I can't go on doing full time college and working 30ish hours a week. My assignments are already starting to pile up and I've pretty much no time to do them, let alone meet up with my friends/relax. If they don't hire someone else soon I'm honestly not sure what I'll do, I can't keep this up. I'm at the level of exhaustion where I keep just crying for no reason. 3 weeks today since my last day off.

I am SEETHING right now. UCD run this awful module that's taking up 5 of my credits, Introduction to Arts, and it's basically treating us like we know nothing. They tried to give us a list of synonyms for "says" so we wouldn't accidentally plagiarise, and they make us do quizzes on study skills...as if I didn't use my ability to f*cking study to get into the course in the first place? My course was 440 too, not exactly something you just get sitting back on your arse.

Anyway, I got an A+ in my first French homework and Spanish test. My Spanish teacher even asks me if I'm actually a beginner. And I got a D in my assignment for that fcuking arts module. The assignment was to make a "semester to-do plan" listing assignments and assessment details for all your modules. I DID IT. I haven't been GIVEN all that information yet and some won't tell us to avoid us focusing on certain points (e.g. ones where you could probably pass without trying hard in the final exam, through continuous assessment).
A D.
Seriously.
I had another look at it and it looks perfectly fine. Anyone else I've asked got a C and are angry too, but a D!
Emailed the co-ordinator to ask her what shes doing, I filled in all I've been told, how can that be marked incorrect. Dick.

I would happily do that as well as making everyone buy electric blankies like me :P
Like I'd understand the need to put on the heating if it was absolutely freezing and icicles were growing from the ceiling. But to have the heating on while you're out (for about 3 hours..) so you can come back to a toasty nice warm house.. NOOOOO

If you have a fireplace buy some briquettes or coal, and then you can burn all your pizza boxes, Argos catalogues, cardboard, broken furniture, etc. Also good for marshmallows of course.

I'm a stupid f*cking idiot.

I don't suppose anyone wants to put me up for 3 weeks while I do my teaching practise in one of the 18 schools that are no-where near me? Sound.

F*ck you college, next time look at where people are living.

Sh*t week gets sh*ttier.

Program on my laptop decides to not only crash, but to also corrupt the file I'd been working on all day (the file that's due tomorrow and is worth 10% of my grade) so that it is now useless.

What's the point.

I think I ****ed up badly and all I want to do is curl up and cry.

I actually don't know what i'm doing with my life, I can't decide what to do, have no plan and it's making me feel really down about everything. I hated my course so decided to drop out, haven't dropped out officially yet as I was sick and couldn't go to college because of a virus. So now it's two weeks later, October now and I still haven't decided what i'm going to do. My options are:

1. Go back to College and take up a place in an Arts degree, even though I don't have much interest in any other subject but Psychology and i'm not guaranteed my place in 2nd year Psychology unless i'm in the top 30 in the class.. And i'm 3 weeks behind everybody else so they'd all be ahead of me making catching up and being the best of the best even tougher.
   
2. Take the year out. This worries me. I have no job and I don't know what i'd do with myself for the rest of the year. This way though I could apply directly through the CAO again for Psychology courses. However I only have enough points for Psychology in DCU/UL/UCC and I never considered these colleges before this
   
3. Try and find a School to accept me at this late stage and repeat my Leaving. Do 7 subjects at HL and try and get higher than the 520 I worked my ass off for this year, in the hope of getting 550+..

I've actually no idea what to do.. Someone give me some advise, i'm actually beginning to feel so depressed trying to pick something to do at this stage.. Help

Psychology in UCD is 520 I think? Also, living in Longford would you qualify for HEAR? You can get into courses on reduced points that way.
If you did repeat then not many courses would change really - maths and irish you can drop, English is a bit iffy but yeah, you'd be grand I'd say. But repeating after seeing what college is like would be awful!
I think you'd be fine if you did psychology though, you'll well get in the top 30. How many are there doing it, i.e. how many competitors? Sure I remember you saying you wouldn't get high points or something hilarrrrrious like that :pac:

They boarded up our fireplace..
I have one in my bedroom aswell

1. Take down the boards.

2. Start a fire with the boards.

3. Bask in my wisdom the heat.

Had the same happen to me, hugs. It's not nice at all

My boyfriend of 3 years just cheated on me and left me for someone else, without even telling me. Humiliated and shattered are some words to describe how i feel

First weekend in a while that i have NOTHING planned. Not even a 11 and I'm so bored, probably should study but i know i won't do it.

Kind of a aaaarrghh-yaaaahh:

I slept for 13 hours last night/today. So refreshing having had been up for at least 42 hours straight staring a laptop.

On the minus side, I missed a lecture I really wanted to go to at 2pm. Really disappointed as I was looking forward to it all week.

AtomicKoala

I hate everyone. I hate how people change.

Aoifey!

I hate double standards sooo much.

anirishlad

Bad haircut.

JamJamJamJam

9 hours of lectures on Monday. :eek: I miss last year when that would have been my whole week!



Admittedly, the last 2 hours are for an extra course that's not part of my own course, but they're still lectures!

Slow Show

I actually feel so motivated to study right now but everywhere is cold and my house is full of loud, boisterous farmers...

SleepAlone

I want to go out but my tonsils are so sore

There are few things I hate more than someone letting themselves into your room and going through your stuff looking for something when you're not home. GO THE FÚCK AWAY AND LEAVE ME MY PRIVACY FOR FÚCKS SAKE. I'm so angry over it. My privacy is extremely important to me above quite a number of things. I hate my family sometimes.

I've just snapped my bottom retainer in two while while brushing it.




Oh oh.

Got no sleep last night and I've got a sore throat! I don't need this right now!

I forgot my laptop charger at home, which is 15 minutes walk away from here, and I don't really have the time to walk there and back since this library closes at 4... Why the hell is the main library closed anyway?! 5 star university they say...
