Well, another year done and dusted. It’s definitely been the biggest and longest year I’ve contributed to, and the amount of work done over the weekend was quite a lot too. The amount of feedback via social media has been immense, so much so it pretty much completely took away most of Monday just to keep an eye on all the Facebook posts and tweets sent at us – yes, it’s probably Mark’s job, but as I believe he was part of the crew who went out on the Sunday night for the after-party, I think a sore head was probably being rested that day!
So it has very recently come to my attention that someone in After Hours on boards wrote up something which grabbed the attention of the Redbrick crowd and others, and from which I managed to find it.
I’m not going to post the link here, because the entire thing is purely fabricated, maybe for comedic effect, but the point still stands is that what is written is libellous towards me.
I’m aware that I’ve never been the best people person during my life, it is something that I’ve had to work on since a young age, and only a few short years ago did I properly find out the cause and have it officially diagnosed. So there have been a few hiccups along the way with me trying to co-exist with the rest of society. But to read shit like that written up, particularly when it is grossly over-exaggerated, and written from the point of view of someone who is either not fully aware of my situation, or does not fully comprehend it, is practically insulting me.
What makes it even worse is the specific thanks given to that post by a few people I know from college, even more so those I thought I knew fairly well and were good friends with.
Pretty bloody glad I’m probably not going back there now, at least not this year.
Right, this is just something that popped into my head while on the way home – and it’s probably more for those of you currently in DCU.
I’m not too sure if I have much of a reason to not be writing things here these days. Maybe I just haven’t had as much to say as I used to in the past. Ah well, at least I’m busy preparing for a lot of stuff this weekend, namely Eirtakon, as well as a few other things.
November is going to be fairly busy for me, with things happening nearly every weekend. I’m hoping that it doesn’t detract from my online presence, particularly TF2′ing and Left 4 Dead’ing – and hopefully not keeping me away from writing more shite in this blog and ranting about garbage on Twitter.
I originally wanted to write something about being back in college over the weekend, but I just didn’t. I had more important things to do, like the Dunboyne motor festival, and having a very secluded life. But yea, first week back in college and this time actually registered rather than just being somehow lost in the system despite me doing everything right on my end.
So I went down to the mass of limpless bodies that was the Street earlier the morning to try and figure out from the Registry what on earth my situation regarding being a student was. In short, I was basically told that despite that fact I had filled out my R34 form (to repeat), got permission from the programme chair and paid and submitted my fee liability, they never processed by registration because they must have "lost my R34". So apparently I need to re-register to repeat again, which means meeting up with the programme chair again tomorrow.
Apparently I’m back in college next week (or at least I should be). That means, god-forbid, summer is official over. *insert Baby Bear epic sad face here*
I only have a week of freedom left, so I guess I better make the most of it. Kinda.
OK, it’s not “official” but Week 12, particularly in semester two, is generally known around here as Pizza Week. Why? Because every single society usually blows the remainder of it’s refreshments budget for the year on mountains of pizza at the last meeting(s) of the year. Hence why people tend to put on a few pounds which they need to get rid of before the exams…
