    Heard from a pretty credible source that the delay was due to two things...

    1) A small strike in the SAA.
    2) The recent system crash (Perhaps due to power outage not sure..) caused the online results to be wiped.

    Learned today that my FYP supervisor has buggered off to teach in some other country for the semester. Didn't tell any of us and didn't answer any of our e-mails...Great..Supervisor-less.

    Not really they have more than enough of each size, just get there early. Might cost you an extra €10er or so.

    Just in case anyone here is worried about fees for on-campus accommodation in light of the delay in results, the due date for final payment is 23rd February. Got invoice this morning.

    Do you know if they'll offer a payment plan for the 3rd installment of the fees on 23rd of Feb?

    No chance of me being able to pay the full amount so I'm just hoping they would offer one seeing that they have for the last 2 installments.

    Maybe it's different for your department, but your department probably has an FYP Co-ordinator. You've probably received emails from them earlier in the year. They'll be able to tell you.

    It's weird that the supervisor doesn't know...

    I'd imagine they'll be fine with it. If they aren't, I'd tell them it's the only choice you have because you can't afford to pay it all at once but will be able to later in the semester. I can't really see them having a problem though

    We haven't gotten any emails about FYPs so I've no notion of who he expects us to ask about the due date which is what really annoys me!

    Dear people in the library,

    It's not term time but it's still the library. Shut the fudge up! That includes you, librarians beside me! Seriously, there's only a handful of people around me and they haven't stopped talking in full volume all morning. The librarians emptying the shelves are the worst of them, chattering away and throwing the books onto the little shelves with wheels...

    Thanks,
    sup_dude, who is trying to do work

    They were doing this last year in January when I was doing my FYP and I had to go ask them to keep it down. The people who work there, I mean. They said something stupid like "Oh we have to get this done so we get it done outside of term when there's nobody here". I just said "Well, I'm trying to get work done so I'd appreciate it if ye could at least speak more quietly to each other". Absolute idiots.

    Yeah, I get they have to get stuff done and all but it would be done a lot faster if they weren't nattering. Also, there clearly is people around when someone is sitting there.

    At the minute, they're taking a handful of books and then stopping for a ten minute chat, then another handful of books. They've been here since opening and they've only half a shelf cleared...

    Ask them to keep it down. It's just so entertaining. Or remind them that they're in a quiet / silent zone XD

    They've actually left now. It's the group of three sitting across from me that have piped up, talking like they're still in the pub they're discussing. Would go to security but they only talk in intervals so they'll have stopped for a while when security get here.

    Also, where are all the books?! Why have they changed everything around and not bothered telling anyone where to find anything? I can't find half the books I need anymore whereas before the holidays I could have told you the exact position of some of them...

    This lit review writing is going horribly.

    EDIT: Okay, I take it back. The talking was relatively okay. The cuddling and giggling and hair stroking though... It's the library ffs, control yourself! And now as I'm typing they're singing "Like a Virgin" to each other

    SECOND EDIT: They've started shifting. In the library. They're actually sitting at the desk, shifting. And talking really loudly in between shifting. I don't like public displays of affection at the best of times. This is disgusting. The last thing you want to here is "take me now" when in the library. I'm actually at a complete loss as to what to do. My earphones don't go up loud enough to drown them out without damaging my hearing. I've so much work to do so can't leave but can't concentrate when that's in front of me.

    I know who these f***ers are actually and they were doing it a while back when I was in there too...That is not the place to do that, it's bad enough seeing it on a night out, let alone in a place you're trying to work!

    I almost threw up when I was there last, so sickening.

    Tell security next time because they do get louder and I know they are regulars there so it won't get any better!

    Yeah, the stomach was feeling a bit queasy alright. Everytime they started talking, the actions get worse so at about 5 or 6 when they started talking, I started packing and left with her straddling him, giving him a shoulder rub.

    My god, it's like teenage behaviour. F.Y.I. You're not teenagers anymore and don't go to teeny discos, go home where you have privacy.

    The library at the moment is very annoying! People thinking because it isn't term time that they can talk when they want and then there are the people organising the books that are just talking so loudly...Home is my study place at the moment but even that is not helpful!

    They're back again today. Thankfully, they're sitting further back so I can sit in peace and just ignore them. Feel sorry for those around them now though
