    It hasn't ever been us (since I've been in UL), to be fair. We're usually in the leather couches/counters at the pool room end. That loud crazy group (don't know anyone in it specifically) tend towards the vending machines end. As for cliqueyness, I like to think we're one of the more approachable groups.
    I must come over sometime then and say hi :)

    Per module you fail. Important no one mistakes the figure as a 'one size fits all' charge.

    Indeed. Probably to act as a deterrent.

    I'm currently looking at a bill of around 400quid.

    Another little common room rant...do people know what bins are? Or do they just leave all their trash on the table everywhere they go?

    first time been in the common room today this year because i got a roll before xmas daze and it was wet and cold out.
    couldnt believe the mess the place was in. its a complete disgrace. the whole countertop thing along the wall was covered in rubbish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 369 ✭✭Nockz


    The bins fill up mighty quick in there. Have you seen the size of the bins compared to the numbers of people that are in there every day? The place can be messy alright :/

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 764 ✭✭✭floutingmaxims


    My eyes are burning! UGH why am i so stupid!

    Stupid stupid assignment! Woke up at 10.30 this morning cause my friend was going home after staying at mine. Hungover me started doing the rest of my assignment that i had thought wasnt due til 5. Had this niggling feeling about the time so i double checked it. 12.00pm!! :eek: Had a major freak out and wrote the other 600 words, formatted and cited it there in about an hour.

    Why didn't I listen to Cydoniac last night! :rolleyes: Oh well, panic over now! :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,180 ✭✭✭OhMSGlive


    Only one free hour that the Mac lab in CSIS is open, and what happens? BAM! Someone decides to use the time to hold presentations. This could cost me my module.

    Shocking! Don't know how i'm set, politics is hard enough but should get through, depends on how essays go!

    Right job. Only coming in the one day because there's a revision lecture on a module that's a bit complicated.

    Don't you just love not having to queue for a PC? Isn't it great being in a building filled with computers that the majority of students can't use? :pac: :pac:

    Ah it's ok, have a laptop. Don't bring it in though because heard all about thefts in the library.
    Schrodinger, never thought of it. Thank you.

    Thefts.... wouldn't get that in CSIS! :pac: Once left my Ipod headphones in a lab for an entire day and they were still there when I got back.... Another time left my laptop and phone on the desk when going to the cafe to grab a sandwich, got distracted in a conversation and didn't get back for 2 hours. :)


    Back on topic:

    Really wish Dromroe shop was open at the weekends...and really wish it stayed open until 10 like the main one.... :(

    In first year I left my laptop unattended in the library for about 2 hours. When I came back it wasn't even touched.

    Then in 2nd year I dashed out to the bathroom for a second to answer a phonecall. Whn I came back my iPod had been snatched.

    Sometimes it's all about luck. Be careful. :\

    I'd say that's pretty much unheard of in CSIS, probably because there isn't as big a volume of students in there as there is in the library. Sure, we get law students in there sometimes, but that would be the height of it, and they wouldn't be the students to be going around stealing stuff.

    I concur.

    Fair enough, but it's best not to make a habit of leaving stuff around like that too much. You never know, sure.
