Quiet Matthew! If she hears that she won't send him and I want to corrupt him!
In retrospect that sounds a bit... odd, but anyone who knows me will get my meaning. Anyone who doesn't... well, there aren't as many of them at this stage.

I've read quite a few of your threads - and while I know my son will be a different person when he comes home, I reckon the 'exposure' to you lot will be very good for him! There's not a lot for him to do down here as we live 6 miles from a town and all his school friends live miles outside in the other direction.
Because he's been in the junior CTYI, when I discovered the boards last year this forum grabbed my attention big-time as I knew he'd be getting involved at some stage. As long as he comes home having made lots of friends, and without a drug-habit or a paternity suit hanging over him, I'll be happy. You lot are all so lucky to have the opportunity to stretch yourselves - basically, I'm jealous!
I plan to be up in Dublin some of the time anyway, and might drop in to check you aren't corrupting him too much. My dad lives 10 mins drive from DCU, and a trip to the Helix might be nice in June.
Anyone here do the Marine Biology course before?0 -

no offence, but this is a bad idea, lowers his "street cred" amongst the fellow nerds.
Leave him be, you can always ring him, total immersion in campus life is one of the things that makes CTYI great.0 -

You're beginning to make me a little bit nervous...think I'll get him to read your threads and prepare him better for the temptations of campus life!0 -

Ok, thats it, stop scaring the poor woman
Ba_barbaraAnne : believe me you have nothing to worry about in relation to your son tbh
i went to CTYI for two years a few years ago, now in college and it is one of those things that has stayed with me. Hell all going well i might be working there this summer *fingers crossed CV and interview go well* - everyones insane in a relatively sane way 0 -

Heh. When you applying Neil? 'Twould be mad to have you be an RA in my last year, seeing as I remember you from my first and all that. 0 -

I know that Its the best thing in the world for him. He's getting the chance of a lifetime. If I thought CTYI was going to be bad for him I'd never have spent hours helping him study for the SATs!crash_000 wrote:- everyones insane in a relatively sane way
Sounds a bit like life in our house. Sane when we have to be and crazy the rest of the time. I grew up thinking that was normal, and am passing it down to the next generation. Makes them stand out like sore thumbs in a small village though! He'll be right at home with you lot0 -

Ba_barbaraAnne: I did Marine Biology and its one of the best courses I've ever done. The instructor is insanely cool and nice. Beware of your son coming home and knowing more about plankton than anyone in their right mind though... And your son is in great hands. Hell, I've been to CTYI six times and am thoroughly miserable that I can't go back so I guarantee it'll be great for him 0

Thanks Caoimhe
I'll pass this on to him. He's wanted to do Marine Biology since he was old enough to say the words, so it will be heaven for him.
As far as the washing is concerned.... if I go up to Dublin about half-way through the course, he won't have to do his own. Only his younger brothers know how to use a washing machine (I think. He probably knows but is too smart to let on)
It really should be him getting involved in this forum. You could give him all the tips that mothers shouldn't know about! Will have to get him to log on one of these days. For all I know, someone on here has met him in the junior CTYI. He didn't go last summer, but was there the previous two years.
I've heard enough haiku poetry to last me a lifetime - plankton would make a nice change.0 -
