    It was an immensely painful experience wasting that amount of time doing it.

    Writing reports on anything is immensely painful. I've had to do yearly progress reports, what I've been doing, what I plan to do. Bloody awful. Now I'll have to do six-monthly ones. Goddamit.

    CAN'T YOU JUST BLOODY READ MY TRANSCRIPTS?!?!?! WHY YOU NEED A THOUSAND BLOODY WORDS?

    is one of the new buildings going to have a new swimming pool in it, seeing as the old swimming pool is being closed.

    I think the plan is to eventually build a new swimming pool but God only knows when or if it will happen.

    When I started in Maynooth in 1999, we were told that there was a new library on the way. We now know how long it took for that to materialise.

    Indeed the master plan is a new sports centre along with pool and then a theater and cultural space on south campus. Plan also incorporates the ring road that KCC were supposed to have built (and is badly needed) so thats kinda a slight indicator of how long a timeline it will be cos the council aint building that road anytime soon !

    I do wonder what facilities the college clubs will use in the meantime ?

    I would like part of the university's master plan to involve moving the college closer to my house. About an hour closer would do.

    Serendipitous pagenumberism. Though I don't know if I used that first word correctly because I'm tired and even though I'm online I'm too tired to look it up.

    From the British Museum and Almeida Theatre, there's currently a live reading of Homer's Iliad being streamed at http://www.almeida.co.uk/iliad-digital - It's the Robert Fagles translation. They're currently near the end of book 1 of 24. Should be going till very late tonight.

    I was sending someone in Maynooth an email recently and saw that it's now @mumail. Moo Mail?! I'll never get used to it.

    I noticed today that MU, Maynooth University, is actual MH on the CAO site. MU is St. Pat's. Daft, it is. :rolleyes:

    It's been MH since at least the year I did the leaving (2011), but yeah, ridiculous nonetheless.

    It's been MH for much longer than that - since at least my sister did her leaving, which was 2005. I wouldn't put too much store by cao codes though- they're all nonsense. Isn't Trinity's TR? And UCD is DN. There must've been a system at one point, but who knows what it was.

    NUIG is GY also. They must have a reason for it. DCU is DC but UCD makes sense as there are two Uni's in Dublin so DU would be a bit confusing.

    As is posting in here :P So used to posting in the NUIG one but heading to MU now :P So hi!

    I think it's clear that the town, nay the entire COUNTRY, is entirely in favour of us changing the name to something sensible.

    Couldn't it be MaynootH =MH
    NUIG = GalwaY = GY
    UCD = DubliN =DN

    Could be as late as early September, and it still won't have lab or tutorial times on it so you'll need to get on to your department about that / wait until we start back.
