If you're in that early you should go up to the top floor and get the round tables at the back end of the library...it's a HUGE table and is hidden away from everyone. The window switches are right behind the desk plus you can get away with a little whisper because it's so far away from where everyone else sits. I used to LOVE that spot for exams and project work with friends. :cool:

Cool, I'll check that out the next time, surprised I haven't seen it before since I'm always up there!:) Thank you for your knowledge!

I meant to say it on numerous occasions yesterday but,
Did I miss something in the budget that might be an indicator as to why the bus prices have jumped again??
Wonder if it'll result in them being more punctual,
Not a great start yesterday if that was their intentions...

They've jumped up in Dublin so I assume Limerick are following suit like last time. I imagine Limerick is still cheaper to travel in though (average bus trip in Dublin is like 2.40 now)

How much is it now?

1.80 adult single,
3.90 day saver
Chances are my weekly trip back to Mallow will have jumped a euro as well

Spar can go and touch themselves. Their loyalty cards offer a buy 7 coffee get one free buy another 5 get one free. They work on the buy 12 get one free with great difficulity

The cleaning ladies last night were hoovering around some poor girl last night at half 1 in the library when I was leaving.
I think they might be a bit bitter about these extra 3 hours.

Tea_Bag · 07-12-2012 06:47PM

well the no stupid emails from reception policy lasted long.

Chris Martin · 09-12-2012 12:16AM

Docked 5% for handing in assignment 5 minutes late

Justified on their part but a little harsh given it was the first one we'd handed in via "turnitin" and was going in circles for a bit...

Would've been my highest if it hadn't been docked..
Disappointed more than pissed off

Healthy food? What's this you speak of? :pac:

Feck the drunks, who'll feed me out of the lodge? :P Had some great moments in Superdine, and had some very interesting chats with some very drunk people.

The amount of people from Mary I in the library is a joke.How dare they take seats from honest hard working U.L students. They should be checking for student cards on the way in

Mary I students are allowed to use the library AFAIK so checking the ID cards wouldnt help much

They're allowed use our facilities afaik, but fúck 'em anyway taking our spaces!

Surely they have their own library? I haven't been over there since I was about 10 years old!

Chris Martin · 10-12-2012 02:28PM

Couldn't get a seat in the library today,
F*** a new student centre,
Build an extension onto the library!

I'd rather not be here, it's like 100c here on the top floor with the windows open too!!!

Chris Martin · 10-12-2012 02:38PM

Would've welcomed that walking in this morning...
Blinded by the frost when I left my house,
Every step I took expected the worst,
Every pair of shoes I own have relatively flat soles,
Making me EXTREMELY prone to slipping

I handed mine in 3 hours late last week and I apologised and he said he dosent care if it's late.

Mine was done online,
And it was a woman...
Other end of the scale totally :P

Sociology essay,
Handed up via "turnitin"
10.05, deadline 10.00

lkionm · 10-12-2012 04:03PM

In that case bitches be loco.

Still a bit harsh to dock marks. they should give you a little bit of time after the deadline but not tell you. Anything could happen in the time it would take you to get to a computer especially if you might not have internet at home or something like that and had to travel to UL.

Did you email her with a sob story?

Honestly thought I got away with it so didn't bother,
Wasn't until I looked at the feedback that she said you actually got x% but you're being docked 5% to y%
Then just carried on...

She actually said she'd be in the library 9-10 for those who might struggle handing them in on time..
Don't have a leg to stand on really,
I was working right up until the last second as well so on my part it'd be difficult to avoid...

I'll just cut next one short and guarantee 5% :P

PinkBottle · 11-12-2012 11:05AM

Been in the library since 8am, and there has been 3 seats around me empty now the past 3 hours!!!! 3 lads, came in, dumped their stuff and have been gone since?! So many people have been round looking for seats and theirs isn't being used!

Grrrr ! Such a joke!

lkionm · 11-12-2012 11:13AM

Thats why I always stay at home and do study and stroll in, in the evening.

Less stragglers, annoying people talking, and a row of girls laughing.

I was also in at 8am. Had to leave around half 9 to meet someone so I took my stuff with me, not a chance of a seat when I got back half an hour later so I'm studying in the Main Building instead. Terrible to say it but it's far less noisy than the library.

Incredibly rude for people to try to "reserve" seats like that. In other Universities their stuff would be moved after half an hour by library staff. The amount of people having full blown conversations in the "silent area" is a joke.

snausages · 11-12-2012 01:36PM

I take it though there shouldn't be a problem if someone where to just remove the bags and stuff and take the seat anyway? I've seen people do it before where it was obvious that a seat was being reserved and not just left for a few minutes. It's not like they can complain either, it's their own fault.

Smartly Dressed · 11-12-2012 05:00PM

Is it worth heading to the library in the evening or will it still be packed?
