dont no how old eveyone is on here, but is anyone at uni, i gotta go back next week, and after having resently joined the site and being on it pretty much everyday i think i will struggle to goin back to not having a computer, having to rent one by the hour in the library, so anyone else gonna suffer like me?

i have my pc at home, but iv a leaving cert to do, so im not gonna be here as much in the next few months

Yeah, uni start back today... In an hour actually[img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]


But my computer is here at home, so I'll get the chance to come here as often as before, I think... Unless, of course, I decide to revise for the exams I have in 2 weeks! *scared*

Is the opposite way around for me, over christmas I've not had the time to post here at all, now I'm back at work I'll be posting more again (hmmmm that makes it sound like I don't do any work, oh well)

i go back on saturday but dont start back at uni intill 2nd of feb which even i think is stupid, 6 wks for xmas 4 mths 4 summer its crazy

6 weeks off at Christmas!? Where do you go to Uni? Back in my day (sounding much older than I am) we were lucky to get a week and a half and only have to do 3 projects...

ah wheels but that's the irish edumacation system for ya[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

I wsa supposed to have something like 6 weeks off too.

Can I have your job? [img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img] Being paid for writing emails and paying bills sounds like a dream!

We used to have six weeks off also, though that is specific to my college, which squeezes a winter semester in at that time. (But we only had six week in summer [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img])

Be my guest [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img] however be warned there are lots of times when jobs are required 'yesterday' don't think my clients understand that work takes time to produce (I have to print 100 60x40 inch posters for thursday and I've not been supplied any artwork yet) has certainly helped me grow a few grey hairs over the years :)

As a web designer (now unemployed thanks to the guy Tom and I both hate so much!) I know the kind of "yesterday" jobs you refer to. There's nothing like teaching a software developer about color - on MY DIME! [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] I feel your pain [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

The art work will arrive - don't sweat it. Your artist is getting gray hair as we speak over having to now *really* finish it! I can feel his (her) pain, too, ha, ha! [img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

[img]smileys/smiley31.gif[/img] it's probably the fact I'll have to do a whole list of ammends and corrections for them that's the worst and don't mention colour correction I'm expected to get consistant results and they won't even buy me a densitometer to calibrate my imagesetter and printers [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img] who'd get a job in the graphic arts indestry lol oops did I just vent there lol

Wasn't this thread supposed to be about uni?[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]


But you're right, that's probably more interesting than what I'd say about WWI poetry or the system of checks and balance in the USA in the 19th century...[img]smileys/smiley17.gif[/img]

I said that it doesnt work![img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

well I studied Wilfred Owen back in the olden days when I was at school, the only ones I can remember are SIW, and the one that ends dulce est decorum est pro patria more (the old lie)

Like October, i also have my leaving cert this year except that means i'll be on here way more.[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

I used to love studying wilfred owen. all the way back in third year! What's the name of his poem about a funeral? Anyone know? It's not "Dulce et Decorum....."Edited by: The Weatherman

I loved Dulce et decorum est,one of my fave junior cert poems.

Those used to exist? [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] *feels nostalgic*

Color is a bitch.

i wish i was at uni[img]smileys/smiley6.gif[/img]


the life of an umemployed actor is not what i thought it would be[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

but look at the bright side of it. You can go to bed later than us and you don't have to go anywhere before 10 am.

Most of the students I know actually only get up just in the nick time to watch countdown on Channel 4 (4-5pm i believe lol)

Yes, that's pretty much the life I used to have when I was a creless student with no responsabilities... Ahhhhhhh, how I miss it![img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

I get something close to two months off for Xmas, but have a project for most subjects. But our exams are in the middle of that. I've just started them. First one today actually. It went well. But it sucks that they're so close to Xmas and New Years. cos you've to study over the holidays.


Once the exams are over i've another two week break. But i'll spend everyday of that in college working on my projects[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]. If i wasnt in my final year i'd be on the batter for the two weeks!!


Ahh 'the batter'!!..........*wanders off daydreaming*Edited by: daol20
