    i'm also "going through" third year architectural technology right now, i'm also currently commuting 100 miles a day to do it. i think it's easier than second year. second year was hell, make no mistake. i was incredibly close to throwing in the towel.

    pickles, i know them feels.

    edit: i do it in W.I.T, the family atmosphere is great, but the hours are huge. what year did you finish?

    I feel for you toastedpickles.

    College can be the worst when you have deadlines, so many better things going on around deadlines. What I want to know is - how in the name of sweet devine baby Jesus can you run a 2.3t Saab as a student?

    Everyones saying that here too, second year is torture, and if you can make it through you'l be grand, and theyre right, we're coming to the end of timber framed buildings....I hate them so much, steel is next, then concrete I'm not gona give up but you're right, the days where i feel like going "Yknow what?? Fcuk all this!" are getting increasingly frequent

    We all give out about our course in college as to how difficult it is and how many lectures labs we have but tp your course seems to be a whole different level difficult. Although if you've got to this stage with it your more than capable of completing it. I have a tough 3 weeks ahead of me. Study week next week then 2 weeks of exams but sure what can you do only get down to it.

    Can't wait for my few weeks off over Christmas. My car needs a serious going over and possibly a service (must check that). It will be nice to spend a few days on that rather than just working my brain to an inch of its life in college day in day out. But I suppose it's all worth it when you qualify and get a decent job out of it.

    Loved it there, great craic of a town, lived there mind, kildare - waterford was too much of a commute, the full m9 only opened half way through 4th year for me I think.

    Did quantity surveying, finished in 2012.

    See this is a peculiar set up, As only my aunt works in the family, and my folks are separated, I live way outside the circle of the college, so because of all that and a bit more my grant is a rather large sum each month, from which i budget the insurance, tax, fuel, and the occasional bus trip from, so by being poor and going to college i can afford to run the car :pac: Otherwise i wouldnt be able to!

    That's a course I would have loved to do. I really considered it as wit was so close I'd have been laughing only 30 minute drive but no of course I had to make life difficult for myself by heading to cork :pac:

    at this point we've covered all building techniques, third year is just applying them.

    our whole studio c/a is picking a building in town, knocking it, going through the planning and development process and seeing how best to maximise the space, then build it. it's more paperwork and red tape than detailing at this stage, which is a nice change tbh.

    are you doing domestic timber frame? i have some snazzy details if you'd like a look.

    Sounds similar to the third years in my place, nah we're past all the domestic lark, all commercial stuff this year, breather membranes and vapour barriers have become the bane of my life :pac:

    i take great enjoyment in commercial buildings, in that, unlike anything domestic which at this point in time is basically a hermetically sealed box thanks to the advent of passiv necessity, a commercial or industrial unit just has to stand upright, get bolted together and not blow over, then you attach a ****ing massive no expense spared HVAC system and **** air tightness.

    yeah, still fenced off. we've got a few good lectures on it though on laying service conduits, foundations and we spent one whole module out on it doing linear surveying and levelling :pac: so i guess it's not totally useless.

    nah, templers is too classy, i'm up in ballybricken, truly lovely part of the world.
