About freshers events, which ones are most worth going to, I went to the paint party last year came late and there wasn't enough paint to go round and even if I did get painted like a canvas, about getting home? I doubt the taxi is an option.

Only went to the freshers ball myself last year due to lack of funds (gotta love student life) but that was great craic, I'd say it'll be even better this year, I'd love to see Ryan Sheridan!

And no, i don't see taxi drivers as being too thrilled with people covered in paint in their car.

Spare t-shirt and jeans in a backpack?

Did anyone else receive email from some former dit student about some kind of social network website he created and wants people to test or am i the only one? I checked out the website and it turns out you have to have a dit email to register, not quite sure if i want to.

Jaysus, those timetables are confusing to read. I seem to have a lot less hours than I expected, including Friday's off.

Is there anyway to print the timetable on one page actually? I printed it but it came out over 5 pages.

Once you filter it out properly, like proper week range etc, it should fit on to one page.

In saying that, I've never actually managed to get it down fully - it's an appaling system! The best I have managed is year and week range - I can never get it to seperate groups A B and C, or to get rid of some electives, no matter how hard I try!

Hopefully you're lucky enough to be doing a course that only has 1 group and no electives!

Isn't there a field on web timetables to put in your class group? That might make it a bit smaller, other than that maybe just make your own easy to follow spreadsheet timetable? Be careful though, we were warned not to print ours off as they're subject to change throughout the year.

Yeah there is a field to do that, but when I ever I do it says "Group not recognised" or some such tripe.

That's exactly what I did, made up a timetable in Google Docs and put it up in the class FB group for everyone.

Media arts with Ellen is it?

I spent a fair percentage of that class asleep...lots of it is pitch black with her talking about her holiday snaps as though she were Lee friedlander.Also it was at 9 o'clock so maybe the sleeping wasn't all her fault.not a terrible class though but she is a wee bit of a tool at times.

Two posts and both of them about some website a student created? Just, you know, throwing that out there. Looks legit.

That's pretty much my plan for tomorrow too! Maybe wander around looking for my 3rd year notice board to see if my timetable is up... Or just find other people from my class know where they are going!

Well we got the email from out course co-ordinator, so it probably depends weather or not your co-ordinator got around to doing it I suppose.

No doesn't make a difference, you'll still have lectures

I'm actually really looking forward to going back tho. Haven't seen everyone in ages!
