Orientation Week

Darz0re

So the Week Zero is over and i think i'm still recovering.

Monday, bar at 3 o clock right till the end, There was a bit of a dj and some drinking games if i remember correctly, and then some party, party was dissappointing but it was a good night overall

Tuesday was ..... ehhh.... tuesday was actually the best day all week, I was unforunatlely in a very bad state and got a little confused when some girl starting talking to me about Sex in the City and i subtly suggested we have sex in my room instead. Still trying to figure out why that didnt go down as well as i'd hoped. There was a party afterwards but i'm not emo so that didnt last very long for me. the lads came home at five i think...

Wed was traffic light thingy. It was raining, we had to have tickets. Tickets werent actually needed, didnt take me long to get drunk and i wandered the apartments again for a while.

Thursday, day of rest, heard the old bar was good though.

anyone have any good adventures in theyre first week of college?

i went to me ex-gf's debs on wednesday, she stumbled down some stairs because of her drunk friend, had to go to hospital and can't walk for a while because of stretched ligaments, and on the bus home i puked out the window!! CLASS! that's WAY more fun than college! dunno how she's gonna get around on monday!

but yeah i haven't actually gone to any of the college socials, have either been sick/lazy/asleep/busy!

Had a good first week, met loads of cool people, have a dead on roommate, got twisted nearly every night despite not bein allowed into the oldbar(although I did hop the wall on Mon night )
Was a bit homesick but I had fun overall!

Rockerette

im home know to wash in a flucking shower that doesnt involve being stuck to a shower curtain.. GAH!!!



Met some deadly deadly people.

loved it... having done first year in another college last year, I can safely say I had more fun in 2 days in DCU then i had all year in Trinity. met some cool people and some people trying to be cool, but hey eveyones sound and theres a deadly buzz about the place.
Jus gotta make me some on campus friends now so i dont hav to go home every nite...not that I didn't receive any offers from friendly people ... ahem.
Roll on Freshers week!
Anyone know what night the Freshers Ball is on so I can get it off work??

Yeah the whole bar thing is such a pain. Had to settle for the Hypnotist yoke on Thursday, was a good laugh all the same. Kinda glad to be back home 4 d weekend so I can get a decent nite out... still I really enjoyed d week nd im fairly well convinced DCU is the best college in d country! D CCTV security video of the man stealin' the bike wheel was probably enough on it's own to make the whole thing worthwhile!

was the hypnotist any good at all? i was gonan go but got lazy, even though i'm a 2 minute walk from the bar :S

:|

was the hypnotist not in the bar? dammit, i would have gone if id known....and if i wasn't too hungover to move...

Attended zero social events since I live in Bray and it takes a long time to get home. But I had a good week - great vibe, superb campus. Still havent got to know many people yet though, just a couple of lads in my course (of which females outnumber the males by around 6 to 1 )

And youve only got to know guys?


You know what that says about you?

CGorman

he was'nt a hypnotist really... more of a comedian sort of thing. Started off with a few one liners (some lame: my ma was a telepathic, me da a phsyic... suppose that makes me a physcopate... some were a bit better). Then he picked on a few people in the audience and did some crap magic tricks (but in a humerous way)... basically insulted a dozen people.

After a while he got 25 people to go on stage (it was in the venue) and sit down. Played some soft music and spent 10 minutes telling them to fall asleep and relax. Thats where it got a bit more fun. All 25 where trying to pretend to be hypmotised so they were basically acting and did what ever he said - "when you wake up your at a bar trying to get plastered... keep drinking... now you feel awful and need to take a leak... every five sec's it gets ten times worse"..."when you wake up you'll realise your wallets missing - its in someones shoe in the audience, go get it"... then every1 ran off stage nd ripped off all the shoes in the audience and fired them around the place.

It was fairly decent show... some of the actors were deadly and really got into it. Certainly better than doing nothing if ur unlucky enough to be 17 (like me...).

he has big feet?

Finch*

Finch*

Anarking

I think we're all sorry.

johnny_ultimate

You're not going to like this but college will suck if you commute all the time. Bite the bullet, move out of home and get a place beside DCU. Yes, it might be expensive but it'll be worth it. Living life to a bus timetable, not being able to go to the bar or stay late at events will sap your soul.

The first, second, third... time you realise at night that you've a project due at 9am the next morning, you'll thank me :-)

You missed the party afterwards, that was pretty damn cool.
