I got my offer today but i dunno if i'm gonna accept it. I'm from the north and originally applied for medicine but that's gone out the window. Been reading up on trinity and it seems like a great place to go, and pharmacy seems like a good course for me, but i'm still undecided :P

Only 17 Sfer's passed this year. The rest of us lesser souls have repeats starting monday.

In fairness you'll be grand in first year. Just be careful about Pharmaceutics.

You'll probably find it especially busy since until then you're doing some science modules (Bio 101; Cell Bio, Genetics,Developmental and Micro and maths methods) some biochemistry with the medicine students and you do chemistry with your own department. It calms down next semester when you do more stuff as Pharm students. (I think, I'm just a science student working from memory)

Its roughly 9 - 5 before Christmas and 9 - 6 after, at the worst of going.

Sounds busy... I'd assume that there's some empty periods in those hours?

caroline1111

mm sometimes theres an hour off here and there, some days r worse than others, after christmas last year we had a couple of days where we were in straight from 9 - 6 with only maybe an hour off at 1. but then we got off a bit early on fridays and you might have some afternoons off when the labs are split into groups. any questions, fire away

caroline1111

sorry, that sounds a bit glum, but thats only really in the middle of terms. at the beginning and towards the end when labs/PBL are finishing up, you'd have the odd morning or afternoon off too.

You may well refuse but any chance you could post up the timetable you had for JF up until Christmas?

Also, what's the story with textbooks, are they absolutely necessary or could you get by with the library?

One last question that's been bugging me for years. I absolutely hate taking down notes by hand. Are people permitted to bring a laptop with them to lectures for taking down notes? If you are, are there sockets for connecting chargers in lecture theatres? Somehow I doubt it but it's always worth an ask as my current laptop has a circa one hour battery life =/

caroline1111

ill see if i can find the timetable and pm you it.
I bought a couple of books, you'll have to buy physiology, after that its up to you, I used the library ones as the lecturers tend to use a couple of different ones.
As for bringing laptops in, practically no one in pharmacy does it but it can be done for the larger lectures like biology, biochemistry, physiology. i wouldnt do it for the lectures where its just pharmacy people though. I dunno about the sockets but probably not.

Anyone else willing to send me a timetable for JF?

You could be a cheeky cunt and ask Caroline to screenshot her page after she has logged in :pac::pac::pac:

partyatmygaff

Nah I got the PDFs already (Thank you Craguls

)

Audio Science

Another one for Pharmacy here. Any chance you could forward on that timetable?

I would also love a timetable..my friends are all doing arts and other courses that are less hectic so I really hope I'll get some time with them during the day. By the sounds of this thread I'm not going to be seeing much of them!

And me and me!

No christmas exams which is alot of pressure in may and why the month is evil!! There has been alot of talk in the last few years about holding christmas exams, which would be after christmas, but they were saying that for the full 4 years I was there!!

If you are interested in exams already you can see past papers here but bear in mind that the course is changing all the time so they may be different for yourself

http://www.tcd.ie/Local/Exam_Papers/summer_nonTSM.html

You will have around 10 exams in 3 weeks in May
