freshers week attendance

hurluberlu

Hi there I was wondering what am I realistically gonna miss out on if I don't go into college tomorrow? I'm going into first year and don't want to get started on the wrong foot but would have something else going on tomorrow so I'm not sure what to do. I don't have any course meetings tomorrow, so I would have just gone down to have a look at societies and that kind of stuff. Am I wrong or I'll be able to join them throughout the week anyway? Thanks in advance...

EGaffney

It's pretty much the same stuff every day.

mathew

Youll be grand once you dont miss any of your course stuff.

Its nice to spend a bit of time looking at societies and hanging around getting free stuff and meeting new people, so do head in for a bit some day!!

FREE STUFF

Futurism

Didn't bother going in. Anything good happen? What was the free stuff like?

Dante

There was loads of pizza which was cool. There was also loads of non-alcoholic Bavaria going around which was retarded....I mean who drinks Bavaria for the taste?? Other free stuff worth mentioning were free packs of jonnies and tic-tacs! Got conned badly into joining a few clubs and societies....mainly THE MYSTERY BOX whatever the fúck that is and the DUMSS society! I also joined The Hist, Badminton, Tennis, Rugby and the sci-fi socities.

Tar.Aldarion

Maybe I should head in one day to this, although am jsut starting a postgrad, not starting first year...free things!

Pet

I watched it from my room but could not be arsed to go down...maybe tomorrow. Signing up to the music society is a pain in the arse outside Fresher's Week!

No more free stuff left. That's too bad.

Tar.Aldarion

oh well ill probably want to sign up to that, perhaps friday if these things are still running.

fonpokno

It was so busy today. Couldn't move in the place and pizza was hard to get. I'm determined to get it tomorrow though.

Joined Choral Society, Vincent de Paul and Maths Soc cos they were giving out gingerbread men... Best gingerbread men ever.

Jonathan

Sorting my free bags in to three piles:

Sellouts! They used to give out very tasty brownies.

If the Financial Regulator was a good as regulating as they are giving out free stuff we would be in a much better position.

You can't possibly miss the stands full of free stuff. The front square is jammers.

Time to move to dublin now.

Larianne

We had very tasty brownie-like biscuits which I made, but they all ended up being eaten because we are an extremely popular society sitting behind a stand is hungry work.

I was wondering why that stand was so busy... I'll be in town early tomorrow so I'm joining stuff and escaping until my sports tour!

Actually Larianne aren't you one of the health sciences? We'll be on all the same tours I think!

The brownies were TINY though. Gingerbread men is where it's at. Which guy at the stand were you?

Yeah, I was at that Orientation lecture today. I was one of the eh, 5 (!) physio people that stood up. Not much dental nursing people there either! I won't be going to the Sport Tour tomorrow as I already got it at Mature student week. I'm going in purely for free stuff - I'm on a mission!

Awww shame. You better come to the beers so!

Ahhh you were the guy who told us we could only take one or the other. No fun.

Yep, glad I went. Got a bit of a head start to everyone else. I did my looking lost last week.

Well I'll be floating about tomorrow if you're around. No prob for a meet up.

Ooh Boards Beers, haven't done one of them in a LONG long time... ooh wait, no I did. Went to a mini Bio+Med last year. Whoops. (tis okay, the guys don't lurk in here!)

fonpokno

Ha I'll be in and out in as little time as possible tomorrow! Couldn't believe the busy-ness today. That front square gets awfully claustrophobic sometimes...

I'm spending as much money as I can now before I become completely poor so I think there'll be shopping involved between getting my hair cut in the morning and the sports tour in the afternoon...

Larianne

Yeah, I walked in and text 'my new best friend I made last week' OMG it's Chaos here!

The one last BIG shop before it all disappears!

Tar.Aldarion

tcd beers!

fonpokno

Next thursday Tar!

Tar.Aldarion

Is there much going on in terms of events tomorrow?
I have to get in tomorrow to see my tutor and get one of those student travel cards, but other than that I'll be at a loose end for the rest of the day..

The Walsho

Is there a Student Travel Card stand? Haven't been in yet.

You can get the forms at reception, just take a left when you go in the main archway. I didn't see any stands and I did a few laps around the societys.

sternn

Its in the arts block

You can get a free travel card if you open an AIB student account in the Arts Block. (will need proof of address and photo ID). Just bring your own passport photo or get charged €3.

The Walsho

Thanks guys. I already have an AIB account though.
