    Got my offer this morning. I stressed a lot about the interview, but it was more like a friendly chat than a formal interview. Pretty happy, now just need to sort finance.

    Anyone get any surprises thrown their way? During my interview I was told the course started in two weeks instead of three months!

    Looking likely. But I don't mind really. I've been sick most of this week, most days I didn't know where I was so the time passed quickly. It's nice to hear everybody else finding out they got in, congrats y'all :)

    That's great. I'm glad you had a nice weekend. Would have been hard not to, the weather was smashin'. OMG totes agree, about the gym like. Really takes your mind off of things. I go five times a week, to Dennehy's in Ballincollig. It's a really good gym. I feel much better now, thank you for asking. I'm glad it happened actually, I can't even remember last week, so it worked out well, with all the waiting and all.

    Hi, I got my offer today. I got into Trinity Science :)
    Unfortunately, I found out I'm not eligible for any kind of financial support, due to this being my second degree, so that's making things a bit more...interesting :/

    That's fantastic, well done. I knew you'd get in. You did very well in the msap. You'll be moving to Cork so I presume. You'll fit right in. We have loads of crazy cat ladies here. There's a club.

    I got offered social science. It's sweet.

    Ya, it's a big move. Well if you have any questions feel free to go fúck yourself. Jebus, where did that come from?

    What I meant to say was, if you have any questions feel free to ask somebody that gives a shít. Jessica Christ, twice?

    What I meant to say was, if you have any questions about Cork or need a hand with anything, feel free to ask. :) Even if it's calling in somewhere or checking something out or picking something up or what have you. Save you coming down .

    Keep your chin up. Hopefully you will get an offer, but even if you don't, take this year as a learning opportunity, think about where you could improve, and then reapply.
    Every year that you don't get in means that the following year you will have a stronger application. This isn't my first year applying, if I can get in, anybody can.
