Official bitch about daily life in UL

Oh it's great craic! If you enjoy having to show your ID everytime you want to go into your own house or not being allowed to have a friend over even though you pay 3000e+ in rent, or like being threatened with disciplinary action for having music up at a lower level than it's ever been during the whole year.... /rant

Does it take much effort for people to say thanks when you hold the door open for them? Almost like a frasier crane rant :P

Could'n agree with you more held a door open for a whole class and not one of them said thank you I know that collage is hard but surely there is no class that has a workload that makes you forget your manners. Do they think that UL employs door opener.Next time I yell realy loud your welcome at them

I'd say they thought the doors open magically themselves :P. It is bad form though, no excuse for not acknowledging you. I wouldn't mind but i was holding it a while until they got to the door.

Mostly women, by any chance? Good luck ever getting a thank you for holding the door in that case.

That's right, she was too busy talking to her friend to notice ha.

We're not all bad

How many times have we heard that phrase being tossed around? (Mostly by me. :pac:)

I have only two things to complain about today:

1) Weather.
2) Fecking internet. Again.

It's only something small, happened to me in the su shop a while back when someone was in a rush i let them ahead of me, didn't even acknowledge me.

I'd like to try out a society, but any of the ones I'm interested in are either on during my lectures (I have evening lectures, twice a week) or just won't get back to me, despite several emails.

This is my last semester (I'm only here for a year) but I'd really like to have
some sort of a project or at least to broaden my horizons a bit. I had a lot going on for the last few years in a club, and its left a big gap in my recreational side!

As a newcomer to UL, it seems to be quite difficult to join the kind of socs I'd like to try out- debating, journalism and development.

Maybe they don't want short term people like me, which is understandable enough, but I suppose added to the fact that I'm writing this on campus, slow as phúck, crashy, internet explorer, means at least a Boards rant is in order

Maybe someone can recommend a society to come along to that isn't on a Monday or Thursday evening? There was talk of a non denominational Politics society on Boards a while back, but I don't see it anymore.

Sorry for long post!

Hey johnny-fatality, I know I speak for DebU when I say that we'd be happy to have you in the society! Short term or not, we're always happy to get new people on board We generally have a lot of funny debates alongside the invariable politics ones, so there should be something there to cater for everyone!

that useless shower we call academic administration are now taking 3 weeks to process grant cheques. Do they not realise that people actually require the money for rent and food :mad:

fun little society that asks nothing of you except a love of music and a bit of craic.

Thanks, but I'm more in the market for discussion type thing - I've played music for a number of years and have those needs taken care of. Cheers though.

Thanks, but not really my thing (Not that it couldn't be if I had joined when I was starting college, just not at this stage)

Hi Miami, I'd like to come along alright, but the C&S site says that you only meet once a week, on Monday evenings - which is when I've lectures. Do ye meet other times also?
