The IT Tralee 'off-topic' thread

Opinicus

kerry4sam: Hey everyone,

Just thought y'all might might a general off-topic thread in here. You can post anything you want (within reason of course), post pics, slag each other off etc etc. You get the idea anyway.

Right so lets start coming together and see who is the real comedians of the forum

Just a quick note to the mods: I can't see ITTralee in the drop down menu in the EDU section just thought I'd let ye know.

Yeah I've been told that with all new forums that it takes just a bit for it to appear in the drop downs when the server refreshes the menu lists, and your local cache updates


Thanks Opinicus.

Yeah they have a music society alright. I'm sure their are singers attending the college but I don't yet know of any. I would suggest you
- call the societies office on their direct line: 066 7191782 (North Campus)
- call into the college and maybe out a notice up on one of the notice-boards
I know that they organise open-mic nights throughout the year so maybe contact them & find out when they will be held and you might be able to arrange some-thing there?*
*just a suggestion

If anyone has any info, I'm sure they will contact you direct via pm after reading this

Yakult

^Thanks for that! Good info

I'm a singer. I wont be going til next year, though.

Also, the open day is on soon.

I wonder if many past-ITTralee students miss the college; miss the tralee night-life; miss Tralee town itself

Never knew that. Did the college rent houses or hotel meeting rooms or something like that?

I think they used some of the rooms in the secondary school next to the south campus. The North Campus is only 6 years old and I think the original plans haven't even been fully met yet. They're still building.

Just hit the quote button on the bottom of whatever post you want to reply to.

If you want to quote multiple posts then hit the multi-quote button next to that, do the same for any other posts you want to quote and then hit reply at the bottom of the page. It will list all the quotes you added by the multi-quote button.

Did Applied Biology in the south campus back in 04/05 when I thought that was the area I would like to work in. Loved the subject and the science (still do!), not the jobs we got on work experience unfortunately.

Most of the exams now are held in the Business and Nurses buildings along with the Sports Complex hall.

Anyone hear rumours about next weeks protest, is their local strike happening too?

siblers

Be surprised if anything local is happening as they seem to be trying to get as many go to Dublin as possible, just hope our classes on that day get cancelled, good few of my class are going.

I think they are trying to come to an agreement that no CA's would be scheduled for that day (don't quote me on that )

Fees are set to rise to €3000 next year, and €5000 the year after and the grant is to be cut by a further 30%

This was doing the rounds today, don't know how true it is, but if it is a lot of people could be in a spot of bother next year.

Plus an extra Grand for me for already having attended third level. Good times indeed.

Had to pay 3000 (1500 'registration' and 1500 tuition) a year for the last two years cos I had done a cert in Biology before. Was delighted to not have to pay it this year. Also qualified for a grant! OOOOhhhhh YEAH!:D

Would anyone be interested in a Morton's List society?

The protest was postponed and there will be discussions about local action at tomorrow's class reps meeting.

I don't expect striking will be on the agenda at all, but I think a 24 hour strike on budget day is essential at this stage, and that should just be the beginning.

The Union are calling this next action the "last phase" of the campaign, which is ridiculous. There is no "last phase". The campaign should continue until they succeed. I think its obvious there wasn't really a campaign to begin with, just the usual lobbying, letter writing and the march. That's it.

No imagination, no leadership and no chance of success whatsoever as long we keep allowing right wing careerists into the union.

siblers

Yeah, wasn't overly impressed with the whole approach, when I was in college back in the good times in 2003, the approach back then seemed exactly the same as now.

Just a quick question, is there somewhere for posting about events that may interest ITT students ?

You're more than welcome to start a new thread on the topic. That's a really good idea by-the-way

kerry4sam

Hope the semester is going well for all in IT Tralee

Keep up the hard-work guys; it will all be worth it once the year is over!
