Good luck tomorrow everyone

John

First real day of college, hope no one has it too hectic. I'm going to struggle through my one "Welcome back" talk tomorrow

Stargal

I'm in at 9 this morning with a double lecture. Looking forward to it though, all the courses except one look v good

Thirdfox

I woke up at 5:30 today to catch the bus into Trinity... just to make sure I get a locker! Now I'm tired even before my first lecture... not looking good!

JackKelly

lol.Wanna share?

I haven't slept in...*counts slowly*..30 hours? I am so wrecked, and I have a load of stuff yet to do..register, network clinic, lectures, and general administration pinball (tm cuckoo)..

snorlax

in for 10 o'clock nearly had a cornary this morning when i discovered im going to be facilitating a group of disabled people for the first time next term, very scary stuff .

currently on a two hour break, and then Pediatrics.

Scarinae

Anyone else have a timetable screw up? I had a Biology and a Geography lecture this morning at 10, but it turned out that they'd accidentally stuck the TSM Geography lectures onto the Science timetable

John

I think they did that with Geography and Biology when I was in first year. I remember having to move in one lecture because there were geographers booked in for the same slot.

Today went grand, about 20 minutes of "Welcome back" and we got our final year projects.

Barry Aldwell

In at 9am. For a quadruple lecture. Yay. Free afternoon, since we haven't started in any of our courses yet, so tutorials would be a bit silly. Ah, the life of an engineering student.....

Yeah, that confused me too. If you go up to the science faculty office, you can get a specific timetable for your subject choice. If you're doing the same as me (Bio, Chem, Geog/Geol and maths methods), ask for the "J" timetable.

First year timetables seem a bit messy this year, we had streams of people sticking their heads around the door of our third year electromag lecture, looking nervously at the board and asking 'is this first year?'. The lecturer turned to us after the last bunch and said 'hmmm, it would be really funny if i told them this was first year, wouldn't it?'. it livened up the rest of the lecture for me anyway as i waited with baited breath to see if another lost JF would arrive - sadly, it was not to be.

Two lectures today, and a 'this is the hardest year of your degree' talk at the start of each.

And cuckoo they like to say that every year in my experence...

JackKelly

looks like i have four years of fun maths and physics ahead of me. I've never been so lost as i was at 10 this morning. Bit of a shock from LC tbh. Good fun though.

First year tp...o the joys

Agent Smith

Which is fortunate, , as it can be difficult to get summer jobs as we finish up our exams a month after everyone else.

Heheh same two people gave us that last year as well. Really wish I'd paid heed to it.

Oh yeah I'd forgot I'd be in both yisr classes this year! Didnt go to those lectures today, have the notes already and thought my time better spent in the library actually doing something this year.

I'll be at the crystal structure lecture tomorrow however at 4. Still can't really wrap my head fully around that. Ah yis'll love Prof Igor Shvets. The man is a pure KGB, "You muust deescover something, or we shooot yu". He's really rich too, spawned off a load of spin-off companies. Made loads for the college too with these so was bumped up to SFI associate prof really young.

awww shucks isn't it neat, all of ye in the same class together... ye can all be study buddies :cool:

Dammit, I knew there was a catch to being back so late.
