LIT general chit chat thread

Mars Bar

Introduce yourself here! Perhaps talk about societies you've joined at LIT or if you're involved with LIT Star.

You get the idea!

Hey guys, just moved up to Limerick there today and quit my band to come up here but i really don't want to stop playing music, any drummers guitarists or singers looking to start a band? I myself am a bass player ( www.youtube.com/4stringsjo ) and would love a band to mess around with do some covers write some material and just pretty much have a laugh whilst enjoying college life, anyone interested?

Im doing multimedia programming and design starting the 17th like most people

Join the music society when you start


Your post gave me an idea so I've started a new thread where can people can talk about LIT societies and other shenanigans that goes on in and around the college. Apologies for making an arse of your post too!

If you register online, that means you don't have to register in the college on the 10th, right? And do you have to have paid with the online registration to get the timetables?.. Or is it that they're not up yet?

You don't get the timetable until you go the college I think. They are only provisional too and won't be finalised until October. That's the way it was when I was there anyway.

I remember going to Limerick the Sunday night, going to LIT monday to be told I wasn't in until Wednesday. Went home that Monday, played a soccer match and went back down to Limerick on Tuesday!

still is like that. 1st day has introduction meetings with class heads, department heads etc, nobody gets timetable until the 2nd day and that timetable's provisional and could changed 7/8 times in 1st few weeks. my timetable in 1st year changed 6 times in 1st month

I don't like the sound of the timetable changes.. must be hectic All the fb statuses from everyone who has started college already are killing me XD I know it's only a few more days wait , but still!

Black_Ninja

Anyone have a list of what society's there is? Can't seem to find one

rainbow66666

I was wondering is there a music society and what does it entail? cause im a musician €and would really like to start another band up here

Mars Bar

Yes there is a music society. I think they meet up and do jam sessions. There'll also be the LIT Star so you can get a band together with the aim of entering that.

Mavis93

It's also where the second and third years of the Music Tech and Video courses get some hands on experience.

had induction, met loads of new people and had a great time can't wait to get back! Had a look at the timetable and it's not looking too bad! From what I see, I'm off on Fridays, but I'm so on edge that it's gonna change! And what do groups A and B mean? I looked at the timetables for both groups and they're both the same?

Bet ya a tenner you'll end up with a tutorial on Friday's!

I had Friday's off in first year. :cool: Group A had a lab at 9 a.m.

Mavis93

what exactly are tutorials? does it add much to the timetable?

Mavis93 wrote: »

They are the two hour slots that you do your practical work in. You should have 23 or 24 hours in your timetable.

Mavis93

and when they start, do they last for the year?

Mars Bar

Mavis93 wrote: »

October time usually. They'll last all year, every year.

Go to all of them as attendance in them is important. You'll pick up ridiculously easy marks by just being there.

Mavis93

Thanks for the heads up now you really have me on edge that one of them will be on Friday XD Are the lecturers generally good?

Mars Bar

You should be looking forward to going, not looking for days off! :P

You have your good and not so good like every college. Stay on their good side and you'll be fine.

Mavis93

Oh I know that, I just wanted to know for like.. arranging to go home and that! Ahh I get ya! Can't wait for next week now Will they show us around the studios or will we only get to see them when we are using them?

phatkev

1st years dont generally use the studios, but id say you will have some labs up in block C alright, thats the way it was when i was there anyway. recording wise ye will just be using the tascams in 1st year.

I find it funny that the only career advertised by the "Careers" Department throughout the year is for a moving company in Boston,I've gotten three emails in total about this in the last 2 weeks :pac:.Don't see the logic in them sending a mass email to every student in the college about this either,when putting up posters in the college would of being suffice.What must people doing Masters or degrees be thinking,that the only contribution from the careers department is for a moving company in Boston .

Hey starting in september in moylish knowing no one haha whats the college like etc

nadastudent

Is that Chris fella actually running for SU President again? Seems a bit much at this stage. Fairly sure its a paid job, maybe time for someone else to have a go? His manifesto seems to have pictures of him at a demo at Clare COCO in 2012. Has he done anything since then?

I think it's just seen as another line to add to the CV rather than doing anything worthwhile.

Anyone who has gone for SU President has the following aims and according to one of my lecturers this has remained the same over the past decade.

• Have a bar at the college
• Increase the opening time of the library
• Reduce the prices in the canteen

None of them seem to have been enforced nor will they ever be.It's just a popularity contest at this stage and I don't know of anyone in my year that will be bothered voting.

Cian_Collins

Just wondering has anyone here doing or have done Process with Engineering Management in LIT its a level 8 add on? If so what are the modules like and is experience required if we are you working with industry during the course

I would imagine if its anything like when I was there. You turn up on day you have to go back(7th in your case) and you'll get timetable when you turn up that day...
