1st Semester in the DkIT.. Hellish craic!!

Not much more could have happened in this semester... I got hypnotised (made a bolox of myself in doin so!), got to grips with what PR actually is, made plenty of nice new friends, started playing a wee bit of college football and missed just one Thursday night on the town so far since I started the course... (Prob didn't do the liver many favours.. or the belly..)

The hypnotism..

I never had much faith in this type of thing...Well guess what.. I do now! Managed to make a show of meself in front of a packed out Whitaker Theatre.. Loooked at a few video clips from the day.. Milked a cow, thought I was in a washing machine, acted like a cowboy, groped whatever poor divil was beside me, walked an imaginary dog through the crowd and eh... Almost done The Full Monty.. See I remember a little bit of that, just wakening up in front of the whole crowd with just my boxers on...Not embarrassing at all...
I don't think I'll post a video from that day :)
Oh, I forgot to mention, I also thought I had a wee leprechaun with me for a good while after..

The new friends..

We had a bit of a
PR Class meeting that night!

Before I started college I often heard people say, "Aw my class at college is full of dickheads!".. Lucky enough, I don't have that problem! :) They're a sound bunch, great craic, and we all like to take the mick at a few classes!
I met a right few sound lads through the football here in the college, half of them are Monaghan heads but sure I'd be used to them by now! There's lads from Cavan, Louth and Dublin there as well...
Then there's the people you'd meet on nights out, friends of friends, complete randomers, whatever it may be!
It's a nice atmosphere here in Dundalk, haven't had any run-ins with anyone yet and it doesn't look like I will anytime in the near future!

The football..

DkIT Freshers 2010/11

Well...What can I say...That was cruel this year! All-Ireland Semi Final, and to be bet by a point in extra time? Mainly because the referee couldn't be fair? Well, what can I say.. At least I now know how Louth people felt when Meath bet them in the Leinster Final this year :)

But yano what? Am feckin delighted I did start playing ball with the college.. Or, at least tried to anyway ;) Met plenty of decent lads, we had a few great nights out so far and I'm sure there'll be plenty more!

The nights out..

Halloween in Dundalk - Chilian Miner and TopGun man!

Well, I'd be lying if I said Dundalk was a bad place for a night out. Had some great nights here so far, met some great people! Drinks are only 3euro, add pre-drinking in a friend's house to that and it's a serious amount cheaper than a Saturday night in The Fiddlers!





So..All over, the first semester went quite well! :) Couldn't ask for much more! The only thing is we're at the shitty part of it now with all the tests and exams so I'll be looking forward to the start of next semester! The timetable looks good and we've a right few interesting modules to do!
