    I ticked no to that one, as i don't drink more than 21 units a week. Also found the do you take illegal substances q quite funny.

    Can't beat a sup of Jim Beam. :)

    Aye, thankfully I don't any more but I wouldn't have been putting it down anyway. Sure it's the legal stuff they should be looking out for, that toilet duck will **** ya up.

    Does anyone have the meeting times for Dr. John Graham as a tutor?

    Cools. Ill head there tomorrow morning. Anyone know where museum building is? Thats where I am to meet him. If anyone comes across this and knows please let me know

    Tomorrow between 8 and 12.30. The Museum building is beside the library. It's the building directly in front of that big Gold ball thing if you're facing the Hamilton building direction. He's up the stairs to the left and then left again.

    I'll see you two in the gym! I have some big gaps everyday (In at 9 usually with something again at 12.) so I'll be making use of it. Anyone know if the sports tour is worth it? And what's the General Orientation meeting?

    Might as well use the gym as it's free basically and as you say the gaps between lectures are pretty big.

    I didn't go to the sports tour this morning but there's another one on Friday if you'd like to go. The General Orientation Meeting's a laugh. You have the student union's president speaking and also the chaplains, dean, and mentors.

    You get to see a virtual tour of the campus on the big screen and after that you go to your mentor group which is located on the sheet that you picked up from your seat. you then go and get to know your mentors and the others in your group which is pretty good craic!:D

    Didn't think there was anything important Monday, I was in and around today but I had some stuff to sort out which left me too late alas.


    I was well sickened today as well when I saw exactly where Pearse Station is, **** that bridge collapsing!

    Not much of a gymmer myself. If you ever see me in real life and know that its Jammyc, youll understand. Just not athletic. Although I do want to learn how to swim. Which brings me to something else off topic-

    Why do people tell me that its silly that I live on an island and dont know how to swim. Its not like in my lifetime, Co. Wicklow is goin to Ker-fookin-plunk into the Irish Sea like! :mad:

    Anyway, off topicness over. I wanna check out the hamilton library. I know, Im cool. :p Im heading in to registration early, as I want to avoid the queue. I know Ill still have to wait for years but I really dont like queues! What times are ye headin in? Im in the mornin session.

    Is anyone who hasnt done chemistry before worrying? I wasnt, then my tutor kinda made me worry a little about it! :S

    I'm 21 stone, how athletic do you think I am? :P

    Swimming is easy, I taught myself in about an hour and a half. Do it in a pool, chillout, learn to just float. Then you can swim easily after that.

    I can't really get in that early, takes about two hours from leavin the house til getting to college.

    Probably be in around 10.50 if I get the 9 bus. Still, queue shouldn't be too bad either way. Just looking forward to getting started next week, get into some kind of routine/habit.

    I got there at 10.20 and the queue was massive! Don't think I was actually finished until around 12.20. Got to talk to a few people which was cool.

    I was wearing a Jurassic Park t shirt, just in case anyone happened to see me :D

    **** if I know, it was just after 12, maybe 1/4 past and anyone outside was told to leave, at a guess there could've been near 100 there, certainly at least 50. 5 hours and a tenner it cost me.
