has anyone else been denied residency to 2002 session2 cos they live in dublin. i have which is going to mean a 45min bus journy, which wil mean getting up at 7 every morning. i dont even get up that early during school. and my friend just lives 10 mins further away and he got residency. whats with that.
the shift on my computer is broken so my message dosnt look like it was typed by a talented youth.

Ah... I remember commuting from Rathfarnham. Not fun. Bloody 16 (the bus that is). Ah... but at least I had Kerrie and Donal to keep me company, eh?

But that was all back in the day.

duckgirl · 16-05-2002 8:04pm

thats all very well for you but all my ctyi friends are going to session 1 or live northside. i'll have to commute from ranelagh.

lordsippa · 16-05-2002 8:08pm

Hehehe.... i didn't know them though. Sorta do now, although never really kept in touch with Donal and only see kerrie cause she works in a local shop...

Kerrie Wynne and Donal Gary btw...

oh, and is there any way i'd know you duckgirl person?

shep the malevolent pixie · 16-05-2002 8:20pm

i presume that means you're doing session 2 then, duckgirl? cool, what'd you get? i'll see you up there...

In all fairness!

I know people who had to commute from Kildare and places like that, a 45 minute journey isn't the worst in the world.

They probably gave residence to the people who lived furtherest away (ie. outside Dublin) and then randomly chose those inside it who'd get a room.

halenger · 17-05-2002 8:00am

Ok ill explain it here again.
What happened was there was a new rule brought in in DCU which meant that people couldn't share a room and therefore there's only two people per apartment this year.
And since CTYI hasn't been given/hasn't applied for more res or whatever they've had to ask all the Dubs to commutte.
M'kay?

Hard luck though duckgirl. It's gotta be annoying for sure.

shep the malevolent pixie · 17-05-2002 6:32pm

'cept me. and what's more i live ten minutes down the road MWAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHHAAAAA.

sorry, that was cruel and uncalled for. i apologise profusely. xxx

Man U babe · 17-05-2002 6:56pm

The first year i was in ctyi I commuted. I live near tallaght, it meant 2 damn long bus rides every day. I was up at 6.30 every morning! ouch. Cant be that bad commuting from Ranelagh.

Ashley · 17-05-2002 8:51pm

Does anyone know if people from the Mount Merrion/Stillorgan area have to be commuters? Just wondering cause I have a very good friend who lives there, he's unfortunately in Germany right now so I don't hear from him very often.

Aisling · 17-05-2002 10:06pm

Ashley, I don't think that people in the Mount Merrion/Stillorgan area have to be commuters, I got into the residential camp anyways. It takes anywhere from an hour and a half to two hours to get from there to DCU because there's no direct bus routes or anything (I learnt this the hard way when I was doing the Saturday courses). Also, are you talking about Eoin?

Ashley · 17-05-2002 10:26pm

Yeah I am. I get letters from him but he rarely gets internet access so news gets slightly delayed. You probably think it's weird of me to be concerned about this but it would be pretty awful if Eoin had to be a commuter after the past two years of being together 24/7 - practically at camp.

halenger · 17-05-2002 10:44pm

Um id suggest be prepared for the possibility.
Not saying that he wont get Res but anything's possible...
I'd say that there are a good lot of Dublin people getting Res though.
Well i'd think so anyways.

Ashley · 17-05-2002 10:46pm

I just got an email from Eoin, he and Rosie got residential. My head is still in the clouds. He has a theory or two about it but I don't care I'm just so glad he's residential.

halenger · 17-05-2002 10:53pm

Congrats.
Well done.
Enjoy.
Etcetera, etcetera...

qwidgybo · 18-05-2002 6:16pm

i commuted my first year,and most people's reaction was "oh my god,you're commuting from drogheda??" but it took less time than people who had to go through the city.

aisling-are you doing session 1 or 2??

Aisling · 18-05-2002 9:30pm

I'm doing session one, why do you ask?

Elvish · 19-05-2002 7:26pm

What happened was there was a new rule brought in in DCU which meant that people couldn't share a room and therefore there's only two people per apartment this year.

are you serious? One person per room? I had that last year.

duckgirl · 19-05-2002 9:12pm

duckgirl · 21-05-2002 8:22pm

Shep, people tend to recignise me by my duck.
Columbus The Devil Duck.
He kind of took on a life of his own.
I think some people prefer him to me.
Ah, well.

alaskagirl · 22-05-2002 11:22pm

yes!! i think i remember you! session 1? i think it was you! but ... maybe im wrong. maybe im right! hmmm.... there could always be lots of different people with ducks though....

duckgirl · 23-05-2002 6:28pm

Actually, aside from me there were no ducks.
A pity.
Alaskagirl, would I know you from anywhere.

My mother has finally relented and let me eat while I compute:)

lordsippa · 23-05-2002 6:42pm

I..... AM...... BATOR!

duckgirl · 23-05-2002 6:50pm

BATOR?

oq4v3ht0u76kf2 · 24-05-2002 5:46pm

I live literally 8 minutes away from DCU and I am residential this year. And I applied late!

alaskagirl · 25-05-2002 4:21am

you probably wouldnt know me from anywhere, seeing as i live in alaska and have only been at ctyi one session, last year, session 1. i did pharmacology. and i didnt do anything really exciting. i had a bunch of autoclave tape on my window that made words! and i used to throw fruit out of my window at people. dont worry, though! i plan on being alot more ...myself this year. ill be damned if im going to waste any time at CTYI! its the best time of year, and i live off of the memories all year long! kind of like a bear....living off of tis fat stores all winter....hmmm.......iiiinteresting....

..whew! off on a wild tangent there!

Man U babe · 25-05-2002 11:47am

You forgot throwing white wonderbras in the window! I am ashamed of you! I'll have to come out and visit you, you are session 1 right? If so, consider me visiting mon 24th june (aka mon after I finish LC)!!!!

shep the malevolent pixie · 31-05-2002 7:05pm

same with me and my hat, duckgirl. it has also become a seperate entity and taken over my life/friends. grr. but i don't mind, it likes me better than *most* other people...
