Hey just for those who just did the LC and are hoping to come to trinity, drop a post here, say hi, introduce yourself and tell us what you're going to be doing. When the CAO offers come out I'll set up a new "Introduce Yourself" thread.. PS: yes this is a copy of the UCD,D thread. :)

Hi John.... okay okay this isn't an AA meeting. Also it's interesting you've chosen such a drastic turn in your career.

I'm glad we've met in person, somehow it makes that less weird. This authority you speak of clearly doesn't exist. Now g'wan back to your thesis

Right, I guess this thread has turned into a mere amusing failure. Sorry Myth, if you want to start your own one at a later date fire away, you've a better track record.

Aw Apex I'm sorry, my brain really is fried from this thesis. Don't write-off the thread, there's bound to be loads of lurkers who are interested in posting on this thread but just haven't gotten around to it yet (prove me right kids, prove me right).

It may be a

mere amusing failure

but it has my vote for thread of the year. (as in a proper one or indeed for next year.)

this thread won't be of too much use in the immediate future. it's July- just a little too early for the proper stressers. But I reckon by the end of this month they'll bit quite a bit of interest in it.

Also an interesting observation my oh dear god i'm doing BESS thread turned into similar silliness.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=291934

So maybe it's just the natural reaction of some of the 'mature'* people on these boards.:rolleyes: Also they now have it out of their systems.

And it's very very funny.

My mother actually is 60 and went back to college part time last year. Never too old. And she works full time also. You can do it if it's what you really want. Your spelling will improve over time!
If you went part time, you have 3 evenings of lectures a week away from your kids, only a few hours.

I'm Josh, and I (hopefully!) will be doing maths. Looking forward to it, but tbh am a little scared - I imagine everything will be so different! Still, it should be good fun, and I'm glad to be going to Trinity, I always thought it had a nicer atmosphere that UCD or DCU.

See you all in October

From school? Oh... it is.

Don't worry, you'll be fine. If I had to give some advice (which I don't, but I am anyway) I'd say try to meet as many people as you can in the first few months. Most freshers are in the same boat and would tend to be easy to strike up a conversation with. Even if you're not that outgoing a person, I'd say do as many things organised in freshers week as you can. One of the best weeks of my life was freshers week, it's a great way to kickstart your college experience.

Academically, being honest, don't worry too much about it until after christmas. You have another 3.5 years to do that.
