Higher Options

Raphael

Just wondering if anyone here is planning on going to the Higher Options in the RDS this year, and if anyone is which day they're going. Seems like a logical place for a mini-reunion

yore ma seems like a logical place for a mini-reunion,
sorry aonghus, you know i love you,

Ah Guy, Aoibheann would be so proud, except for, y'know, all the other stuff.

Raphael

This just in, I'm going on the Thursday(22)

Chowburger

I'm going on the 22nd too, to the best of my knowledge. Though it might be the 23rd... A mini-reunion would be great!

Feral Mutant

I'm going on the 23rd (Friday)

Zounds

What's this now?

lemon_sherbert

I'll be there, I think on the 23rd. Sigh, the future

Raphael

22nd is best, according to my guidance chappy. Stuff tends to be gone on the 23rd

Liquorice

I'm going on Thursday evening methinks.

Raphael

In retrospect, we should have tried to co-ordinate this

The boys school is going on thursday so our school have to go on friday... Damn. My boyfriend gets to see Emily and Aonghus and I don't...*tear*

Raphael

Unf!

You'll probably bump into tonnes of CTYI people there anyway, even if you don't organise a formal reunion. I bumped into loads at the one last year, and I got lots of free pens and lollypops, so all in all it was a good day!!

Raphael

Wowipops! Yay!

smiley_knees

Awww, that is officially the cutest spelling of lollipops ever!!! :rolleyes:
See R4ph, being graimaclly innocrrcet can be fun!!!

Scarinae

Good stands to go to:
- Skoool.ie gave out free pens, sweets and mobile radiation reducers
- DCU gave out free pens
- City University, London (I'm not sure if that's an accurate name, but it definitely had City in it and it was in London) gave out free pens, notepads and bags when you signed up for information that they don't send you anyway
- Portobello College gave out free lollypops
- Pigsback gave out free pencils
- There was another stand that had a tin of Cadbury's Roses, but I can't remember which one it was

Wierd, saw Eoin Carolan today at the Trinity stand.

Raphael

So, who's gonna be there tomorrow?

the evil lime

Steal free pens! and pencils! note paper! everything! I command you!

I got through all of sixth year (stationary-wise), off the back of the higher options.

Chowburger

So, having been to higher options, do y'all now know exactly what to do with the rest of your lives? I've merely managed to become even more confused than before, and acquire a whole load of useless prospectuses (prospectii?)...
Woo.

Feral Mutant

I'll be goin' tomorrow. What kind of free stuff can I expect this year?

Snap. Was talking to him yesterday, twas nice to see him. I was somewhat surprised too, then I remembered about him lecturing there and all.

Yesterday was fun, except for the scarily heavy bag I ended up carrying around all day. Cursed college prospectuses.

Raphael

I gained prospectuses, which I will use for the purposes of deciding back-ups for the CAO and fobbing off my guidance counciller.

And Lancaster had free fuzzies!

Feral Mutant

Thanks Aonghus, now I can look out for that stuff this morning (somehow conveys sarcasm in writing form). Damn I wish I'd known there were fuzzies.

Raphael

That's only assuming they had a new batch for friday. Me and Lorcan got the last 3 fuzzies

smiley_knees

Hey R4ph!!!
My silly bf seen you at H.O. Just in case you didn't realise who the tall dude with the red hair saying hi to you was...

Raphael

I remember little...
