January
The first
month of the new year is hazy in memory. I do know that it involved several parties in Shannon’s granny’s old house, threatening letters
from the law school, our first Law Ball, new clothes, mock trials, trips to Workman’s, missed German drama
rehearsals, a Luas fine, and (half-baked) new year's resolutions.

February
February saw
me desperately trying to learn my lines for the fast-approaching German drama,
The Night We All Got Horribly Drunk Hence Nobody Can Remember What Happened,
oversleeping the morning on which the tickets for Trinity Ball went on sale and
very nearly not getting one, the German
theatre group’s performance of “Pension Schöller” in St.Killian’s Deutsche
Schule, my first trip to C.U.N.T., the theatre group’s trip to Tübingen
(which is one big hilarious blur of exhaustion, forgotten lines, and collapsing
sets) and travelling onto Berlin from there to meet the rest of JF law and
German for reading week. “Dreeeeeeeeeenk some!”

March
I attended Bombay Bicycle Club’s St Patrick’s Day gig in
the Academy, fulfilling a long-held dream. I had desperately wanted to go to their last
Dublin gig but unfortunately it was on the same week of the Leaving
Cert Irish orals so everyone was too exhausted to go. This gig more than made
up for that bit of disappointment, as Bombay played a stellar set and we were
up the very front for the whole thing. March was also the month I got elected to the
DU Germanic Society’s committee after showing up to the AGM on a whim, and I attempted to have my tea-damaged laptop keyboard fixed without success.
April
The first half of April revolved around Trinity Ball: getting excited for it, actually going to it, and then living in a post-Ball
bubble of euphoria for days after it. It truly was a fantastic night; we spent
the afternoon in the sunshine all kitted out in our finery in Shannon’s back
garden, before hitching a free ride to Trinity in a stretch hummer at about
11pm. Bastille, Ellie Goulding, Imagine Dragons, the Vaccines were the main
headline acts and they plus several others kept us entertained all over campus
until 5am. Jolly good fun. The
rest of April involved a lot of cramming for nasty first year exams which (for
me) were to begin at the beginning of May. I was swallowed up by a vortex of stress, fast food, and crankiness where I remained for the remainder of the month and well into the next.
