Since it's now time to pay your deposit if moving into Trinity Hall for 2008/09, and as you everyone can already find out their room number, this is a great time for everyone to make basic introductions. Here's a basic format, but do chop & change as you see fit:
Name:
Year/Course:
Age:
House and room:
Societies/Clubs/interests:
If you have a place, you can confirm it now by paying your 250 euro deposit by credit card at

If the system recognises your details, it tells you your room number.

Here goes for me
Name: Aneo (Anne). I'm French and from, well, France
Year/Course: Junior Freshman law & German law
House: 85.09.02
Age: 18
Societies/Clubs/interests: Wow, so much to do and I hear there's only 25 hours in a day in Dublin! Maybe gym at Hall for starters, and squash is anyone else is a beginner and game. And piano and guitar in the music room. I'd love to learn the harp too! And there are nice runs along the nearby Dodder river valley park. And Kilmashogue car park is a short taxi ride away and a great place for starting the Wicklow Way, and for hill walking over Two Rock and Three Rock mountains and further afield. The 65 bus takes us out to Blessington for walks, while the 17 and 18 buses take us near the seafront to Blackrock and Sandymount respectively!
I'm staying in 85.09.02 and asked for a sharing room. All I can say is that someone is going to get an awful surprise when they see me turn up on the doorstep of 85.09.02! That person can probably ease the shock by sending me a PM.
