    Freshers Week starts on the 20th of September. You probably won't need to be in all week, but you'll need to go to registration anyway. I'd recommend also turning up for your course meeting and the general orientation meeting. :) Once you accept your offer, you'll be sent out an orientation pack which will give you the times for those things I mentioned, as well as the sports tour and library tour, both of which are optional.

    Of course there'll be stuff going on all week. There'll be stands for various clubs/societies in Front Square, there'll be nights out.. There's loads to do! But you'll probably get a load of mail from the various societies anyway so you'll find all that out in due course. :)

    Oh, and the first week of lectures starts the following week (i.e. from the 27th!).

    I read this post as: "Oh, good taste in music, yeah I like the same sort of music, we have loads in common, I'm a really nice guy, no it's alright, I'll be gentle, just pop that in your mouth there, it won't bite."

    Getting a foot in the door with the freshers, you sicko.

    Yeah, I agreed to do it. It's slightly different than the Miscellany column or the blog in that there's an actual purpose to this one (rather than just me rambling about whatever I want), but I'm looking forward to it.

    Hoping to do English. Really really nervous as I won't know anyone there and I'm moving up from a tiny village in the west. I'm going to be so lost and worried and ALONE.

    Just throw yourself into it. Go to freshers week, join one or two societies and a sports club you think you'd like. Go to their welcome nights/events. Chat to whoever. Most likely they'll be just as nervous and lost as yourself and will be glad to talk to someone.

    Apparently I said I'd organise a TCD Beers so come to that when I, eh, get it organised! :)

    Sure we can leave the roller-beers for a while and have a regular beers first if you need time to organise it. :D Should *probably* try to have an early beers for the freshers - maybe first teaching week seeing as there'll be so much on during Freshers' Week? *coughs in direction of the mods* :pac:

    Oh I've no problem organising it. Just it's a bit early for that sort of thing.

    Whatever the masses decide!

    I'm booked up the Monday and Thursday of the first teaching week. I know, already. :pac: But I'll be in the Pav on the Thursday. ;) Good Plan Aoibh.
