    Lecturer - "We will have lectures during RAG Week...."
    Eejits - "Booooo!! Hisss!! Booo"
    Me - ":rolleyes:"


    The whole "Oooh, I'm going to act all cool like making an effort is not for me" kind of attitude is reeeeaaaaallllly annoying :mad:

    Give them a break, they're not all as studious as you are - spending orientation week in the library and all that :p

    I am going to kill the guy behind me in the computer room in the library....... music ****ing blaring from his headphones!!

    I wouldn't mind you know but he's listening to ****!!

    Its not like he even has the small earphones in his ears........ hes got a big feckin park bench around his head!!! Probably thinks their sound proof!!

    Well im about to wrap the computer next to mine around his head too........ next time you hear from me I'll be in prison..... better than student accomodation anyway!! - not that my house counts.

    FML!!! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Pet hate of mine too, whats worse is when the offending headphones are 20ft away so you can't just reach out and smack the person.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭Mindkiller


    Why the f*ck are there so many people noisily pacing around the library? Seriously guys, go get f*cked


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23 JellyBeana


    I don't know but have you noticed how the the automatic doors in the library sound like raiders from BSG? It's creepy.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, that 3 hour family business lecture is torture! :(

    We were promised more interaction in class, but she cancelled the case study analysis, and proceeded to get through 37 out of 53 slides in 3 hours!! I mean ffs, thats boring as hell!

    Also, in 2 weeks time, she is taking a second 3 hour slot, that'd be 6 hours of family business in 1 day! :eek:

    Do ye get a few breaks? 3 hour lectures are a bad idea, generally. I find my brain gets rather fuzzy after an hour and a half, I'm always quite mad after three! If any of ye see me after 1 on Mondays, expect a simple "Bleh" by way of greeting.

    Research has shown that the average persons brain starts to get 'rather fuzzy' after about 20 minutes of the same person talking!

    This girl on 1st floor of library must be wearing clogs or something the noise is ridiculous!...and then some sort of a drill comes on to further distract me!:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 244 ✭✭RachPie


    Was at the bus stop today for 20 mins, along with a group of girls who spent the entire time boasting how pissed they're going to get RAG week..how pissed they were last night..how pissed they're going to be this weekend.. i think it's fairly f*ing sad if you have to be completely ossified to have a good time

    Its 8am on a monday and i'm not in bed
    nuff said


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Mossin


    WTF is going on with the student emails?
    It was working just a few mins ago, and when I need to send important emails it suddenly stops working? FFS! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,652 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08


    Is anyone having trouble with the connection on the 2nd floor in the library? This is really annoying :mad:

    Due Next Monday: 2 Lab reports
    Next Tuesday: Mid-Term
    Next Wednesday: Assignment
    Next Thursday: Lab Report

    Looks like my Charity Week will be even more quite than I had expected

    • Print Co-Op report
    • Wait in line for 20mins to get it bound
    • Bind Co-Op report
    • Realise too late that vital section printed wrong
    • Re-edit report
    • Try to print report
    • Fight with CSIS printers for the bones of an hour and a half as each one refuses to print out that one page
    • Eventually resort to carefully tearing page out of previously bound report
    • Stomp all the way across to Snap
    • Snap closes 5mins before your arrival
    • Arrive late to lecture.
    Thank Jebus it's Friday!

    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
    WHY CANT PEOPLE REFERENCE PROPERLY!?!?!?!?
    :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    I mean I could understand if this was the first assignment, but its not!
    And, did I say AND, they were given the Cite it Right book last semester, so there are no excuses, and yet I've spent the past 2 hours trying to figure out how much of another person's section wasnt plagarised, and where the plagarised parts came from!! :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    does that mean that the turn it in line is a bluff then?

    my bitch is that the commute in and out today was longer than the time actually doing stuff in there. nearly two and a half hours on busses for a one hour lecture.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Mossin


    does that mean that the turn it in line is a bluff then?

    No its not a bluff. We got given the results from a lecturer from turn-it-in for an assignment we submitted this semester. I had thought they dont submit each project, but I was wrong. Luckily for me, I had referenced properly or I'd have been in trouble - as one person in my class discovered!

    My bitch for today:
    Getting a virus on my from using college computers! It nearly ruined my laptop this afternoon. I have also lost some work, but fortunately I have the majority of it backed-up.

    Having an assignment due "Charity Week" thus not enjoying the festivities as much as I'd liked...

    and now during this easter break having to do yet another assignment due next week...

    gosh i miss the days of plain simple homework....:(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Mossin


    Stupid Outlook email account! It works one minute, and is unavailable the next! Even when I am using it!! :mad:

    Its not as though I have anything important in it like the material I need for an exam on Thursday :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 172 ✭✭entropic


    Would people please shut the f*** up when in the library. I am trying to study and get work done and your drowing out my headphone ffs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,200 ✭✭✭Mindkiller


    Lovely and noisy in here today. Some workers clanging some junk downstairs


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭Mossin


    I'm so bored of studying for a case study exam tomorrow!

    Its at 9am as well...dont they realise that Champions League football is on Wednesday nights, and that its just mean scheduling exams for 9am! Especially ones worth 50% :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,652 ✭✭✭✭Busi_Girl08

    The fact I have already failed a module and there's nothing I can do about it, which also means if my J1 goes ahead, I will be cutting it short :(
