I got my application pack thingy today. I'm probably going to do computer apps in S1.

Session 2 has much better courses this year.. Not sure which I'll go to.. Japanese Language and Culture.. Could there be a cooler one?

Crash

electronic engineering?? you bastards!!

ah well, cest la vie.

pretty*monster

Oh, I was so happy when I got my application pack. But I have to got to session one (it's either that or holiday with "de family" <shudder>) so I can't do either of the courses I really wanted to do (Philosophy or International Relations ) so now I'm thinking Classics, Govt and Society, International History, Legal Studies, or
Psych ....

qwidgybo

aaah!tough decision!either i do art design(ooh!ooh!ooh!) and go to session 2, or i do russian(how cool is that language?!i mean,maaad!) and go to session 1.i would put both in my choices and leave it up to the almighty powers that be in the dear old ctyi office,but i have to decide NOW(or soon,anyway) which session i'm going to,for fear of ending up in the same horrible situation kate's trying to avoid-family holiday.

hmm....*strokes invisible beard*....

Aliminator

WOO HOO! I evaded the regulations and i'm allowed back!! WEEHEE. (i'll be 17 for most of S1) excellent.
right. everyone do S2. cept for u wankerish type. me's thinking electronic engineering/Corporate Business. who cares!!!
AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Shoeless Ailbhe

Pretty* monster, u shud do govt and society if you wanted to do I.R..... they're very similar. And good fun. And interestin. According to people I've spoken to anyway!

I'm too old. Moan.

My birthdays monday. From then on I'ma never ever ever more

until i become and RA of course........

Aliminator

WHA hahahahaha shoeless person.
Right, all u decent folk off to Sess2. Electronic Engineering!! mad craic. should be..

qwidgybo

alim,that's not nice.you're going to be a nevermore next year.

ailbhe *hugs* i'm gonna miss you!!


and on the course front,i think i'm veering slightly towards art design.i thought i'd add that cos i know you've all been losing sleep over it....

Electronic Engineering.

Choice 2 Corporate Business

Choice 3 Sociology

I'm a winner each way

Cait

no more ctyi for me.....oh well;)

purplepolkadot

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........

would philosophy or sociology involve the least amount of writing?

or with japanese language & culture there's a possibility of NO writing at all, and the added bonus of food and origami, AND i mightn't have to wear shoes, which is always an advantage.

i think people who are annoying/pretentious/aren't funny/have rods up there arses/insult me like a certain person from session one last year should go to session ONE. OKAY? that's session one.

my god, i know someone (who isn't me) from s1 2002 who was
...annoying
...pretentious
...unfunny
...afflicted by having a rod the size o' yon big spire up their ass
...insulting
...from roscommon

...a bitch

does anyone know her????? i can't name her but if anyone guesses, correctly, then i can freely bitch about her.

HINT: her "boyfriend's" name rhymed with her name

article6

My good likeminded person, I'd say Sociology would have less writing. Still, nothing like that stopping me... Philosophy for myself, possibly (big *possibly*)

I was going to do Session 1 at first, but now I'm doing session 2, so I haven't looked very hard yet. Still, no worries

qwidgybo

in philosophy you'll take down piles and piles and piles of notes,write a couple essays,a debate speech,and if you're like me,all the memorable quotes from your classmates and god/instructor.
however,it is THE BEST COURSE YOU COULD POSSIBLY DO AT CTYI.


cait,i shall pack you in my bag and take you with me.you can sleep in the shower!

Mystic Fibrosis

Tbh I couldn't care less about going again. So there.

lordsippa

Damn young uns. Them an their music.

Yeah... enjoy having your "fun" this summer... AS IT MAY BE YOUR LAST! Alternatively, next year *I* could try to be an RA... oh sweet jebus wouldn't that be mental? eh?

It wasn't me!

Yay! Vote Sven for President!

I'm going to do either Russian or medicine in the lab.

lordsippa

Sven? For president? Russian?

Sven for Russian president?

...


I like it.

article6

yeah, Sven, Russian president is all well and good until you hit the vodka. And you don't want to hit the vodka.

You already have? Never mind.

After careful consideration, involving dartboards and fractal random number generators, I've changed that course choice in my first post to Journalism. Ah, the folly of youth.

shep the malevolent pixie

the african one looks cool. and the japanese one. but f uck it, i'll visit yis, i havta go to the gaeltacht anyway.
sHep :cool:

Laura

sven as an RA...wow! shame this is my last year...*sigh*

Scarinae

I did Sociology last year - it wasn't my first choice but it was great anyway! We did take some notes but we also had raging debates, and I did a project on Feminism and formulated a plan to take over the world and lock the entire male gender up in cages and feed them water and stale bread -> you have been warned, you'd all better be nice to me. Ahahaha the wonders of radical feminism

I have not yet decided what I'm going to do this year, its my last year *sniff* so I'm gonna try doing something good

I love gingerbread

Praetorian

I qualified for CTYI courses in DCU based on score achieved in SAT exams....Is there any other way to qualify? I regret not doing one of the courses now

Sometimes when people miss the SAT test they can get in on IQ alone. Thats how my roommate got in last year

Cait

what does your IQ have to be?

:D mags :D

Anyone done economics? Whats it like? Or classics?

Man U babe

Joanne for RA anyone?

Green Hand Guy

I'm too old. I hate all you youngsters! Having a good time without me! I guess this summer I'll just relax at the CTYI retirement home with all the other elderly people. Anybody mind if I steal their body in a strange voodoo ritual and go in their place? I'll give them a free hat.

Hmm. CTYI retirement home. They should have one of those!

alaskagirl

RAHHHH!!!!!!!!
I am SO angry!!! This is the LAST year i can go, and i am NOT allowed. because we cant scrounge up the stupid money to let me go . i am so depressed. i still cant believe it. i have been mourning ctyi and my premature nevermore-ness for a month or more now. i cry. seriously. i feel so deprived. i cant believe im not getting my last year. is there any way i can get this to work? oh please. oh please, oh please, oh please!!!!!!!!


i miss everyone so much. and i would take any course.

oq4v3ht0u76kf2

Aliminator

stevanavich

i was thinking of doing computational liguistics....until i found out that LOADS of people i know are going to take it. so seeing as it is guarenteed to be crowded, i chose to do engineering.

to late to change now..my form is off in the post

Poochy

Well the title says it all, What course and what session are people doing?

nosmo

It's been said before: 2 other threads have asked this.

Me : comp linguistics, session 1

lordsippa

Down with this sort of thing!

Fio... do the usual dirty deed and make one of these <whichever was biggest and most to the point> sticky so that they don't keep popping up. Pretty please <bats eyes>

smiles

Sticky made. your wish is my command

Probably will merge these threads.....

<< Fio >>

lordsippa

Stickification has failed. <go on say that 10 times fast! I DARE YA!>

Just letting you know.

Zukustious

Computer applications.

I can use that to... um... I dunno... apply my computer?

purplepolkadot

classics. session. one. my. first. choice. that's. both. years. i. got. first. choice. ohhh...yes!!

warped

being old and wise as i am, i will not miss cty this year.

advice to all : art design is the best course on the program ;
least amoutn of written work
scribbling lessons (seriously)
days spent sketching in the botanical gardens
more days spent sketching inanimate objects
further more days spent wrapping anything you can lay your hands on in clingfilm,
doing all that listening to the strokes (music playing in the classroom and study)

once more, i am forced to say, alim you sneaky bastard.... damn you and your fortunate *just-young-enough*-ness.

perhaps i will be an ra one day.... my sadism should be satisfied, torturing innocent geeks for 3 weeks. and being paid to do so.

Aliminator

well. consider urself lucky tom. if they hadn't taken my money i woulda retracted the application. goddammit. 3 more weeks of the 'wonderful stuff'. oh joy...oh joy.
finals start on friday. i'm f*****d:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

qwidgybo

yay!i'm doing fart design!toodledoodlelalayay!

freakofnature

this is my first time going and i'm doing sesh 1 art and art history and I'M SCARED. i'm not good enough although my art teacher begs to differ but why should i believe her? so anyhoo, what AM i going to do?





eh... i'll survive. i usually do

lordsippa

a/s/l?

I'm pretty certain that artistic talent isn't going to be utterly vital. But yeah... I'm also pretty certain you're doing the "I suck" thing that everyone I know who's good at art does <and i'm sure it's only to piss me off too!>.

freakofnature

14/f/dublin



honestly, i thought i was half decent at art but then it was all like '' for students with an interest in art and willing to improve own work'' and i was lik 'uh-oh!' but still i can't wait. rachaidh me go dti an Ghaelteacht roimh agus now it seems like ages til july the 5th

more particular /l/
