Timing problems….

6 comments

katieNote to self: Always check start time of open days before going.

As the above suggests, like a fool, I took the only 109 bus to Belfield on Friday the 4th for the UCD open day. Got up at 6.30 and caught the bus @ 7.15, with my brothers who do this every day for school. I was really happy with myself, and it looked like there were lots of others on the bus with my idea of getting in early to beat the crowds. Well I certainly did that! At Belfield I got off the bus with the two remaining people, both students. Oooppss!
Well I suppose it meant that I got to see a lot of the campus! I spent the first hour wandering around trying to look like I knew where I was going! Lol! It’s so big! Actually huge! Nearly too big methinks =/ Did anyone else go up? Don’t get me wrong if I got the chance I’d go, but it probably won’t be my first choice!

How was the week for everyone else? We started getting our test results back…….. They actually didn’t go that badly, surprisingly. It’s a nice feeling to know that all the work you’ve done has paid off =D I was delighted with my B1 in Irish because it was so close to an A (84%) so almost there! English; meh, my teachers an easy marker. Basically anyone who hands up work gets an A. I got an A2, but I would have given myself a C!! Biology was something similar. And I passed my maths!! I was full sure that id failed so my D2 (47%) was a nice surprise =D Still waiting on some results but over all im pretty pleased =) For this time of the year anyway they’re ok…….Most of the stress ha had been piling up over the last few weeks has now been relieved….. what a feeling!! But there’s one part of my routine that’s still missing; exercise! Now I would consider myself afairly active person, especially during the summer, but now I’ve no time! Its not that im super image concious, I’m not! But I know its important to be healthy, and well healthy body, healthy mind! I did try to build 20mins a day into my time table but well, it hard to face into an accounting question at eight o clock when you know you still have chemistry to do =( Does anyone else have this problem???

Saturday night was my first night out since mid-term, and it was brilliant! It was an 18th so yes its allowable! Actualy its was a double surprise 18th. Now, surprises in Kells never are very surprising, bt this was! YAY =D The twins didnt have a clue!! Athboy was dead quiet but we had a great night. Its ok to treat yourself once in a while…………. so im going out next weekend too =P

Only two days of school this week, and Trinnity open day too. What more could you want? I love walking down Grafton street when all the christmas lights are up. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!! Well I think it will be window shopping for the mo …. broke!!!
Anyways I hope everyone has a good week…. I had better get back to some study =/

  3. Trinity seems wonderful but my main inspiration for UCD is its wonderfully modern without losing site of the past inspirators that have attended. I also love the fact there is plenty of foreign students as well as mature students. I dont know why but to me it seems important for societies to mingle.

  6. Hi Aoife… sorry it took so long to get back to ya!! It is never too late to start studying… and i mean that! If you start now and be strict with yourself you will surprise yourself at how much youcan get done. Revisewise revision books are great to help you get started because they’re not too big so you dont feel like you’ve a mountain to climb, and they have all the info you need together. I find it works better if i pace myself at the start. Do say 30-40mins on a topic and do it well, then take a SHORT break as a kind of reward. Little and often is the best way to start. Break everything down into small managable ammounts and you’ll be fine =D For example, dont say oh im going to do english, lets have a look at “King Lear” (the play), study the character Lear for those 40 mins and you will know all you need to know about him! if you try and do the whole play in one go you will just get disheartened….
    What subjets are you doing?
    sorry for the essay!! =D
