Trinity Term

We're halfway through Trinity term, the 3rd and final term at Trinity. Nothing major has happened, I've been trying to study a bit and work through the tutorial work and playing quite a bit of frisbee. But I have had some new developments which are kinda cool. So here goes update on the past 3 weeks.

1) I'm officially coming home in June! I fly in late June 4th and will be here until June 8 when my flight leaves in the morning, back to Ireland and then on to Frankfurt and from there to Wurzburg (that's going to be quite a long day(s) of traveling, but it was much cheaper than flying straight to Frankfurt. I'm definitely excited about coming home for a bit before spending the summer in Germany.

2) Frisbee! This gets abc's because there's lots of stuff.
a) I joined the club Open Club Sandwich, which is mostly beginners but needed more girls for a tournament next weekend, mixed nationals. (mixed means you have 3/4 guys and girls, the ratio can go either way) It'll be an interesting tournament, we're not very good but at least its more frisbee :)
b) I'm officially going to a tournament in Bruge, Belgium the weekend May 1-3. It's supposed to be a lot of fun and Ireland has 3 teams, 2 open and 1 women's. A girl dropped out of the women's team so I joined to fill the spot and am really looking forward to playing! And going back to Bruge, which I really liked from my previous travels
c) Colours: this thursday was the annual Colours match against UCD. It's apparently a big deal and happens in every sport. We had two games, one womens and one open. The weather was terrible, rainy cold and a bit windy, but it was still great times and some pretty good frisbee considering the conditions. Trinity won both matches, the women 13-1 and the open 15-7. Woo Trinity!
d) Because of the above, I've trained for or played frisbee every day for the past 7 days. I did fitness training 2 days, OCS training 2 days, a day of Trinity training, the Colours match, and a day of women's training. :D

3) I bought a ticket to Trinity Ball, which is a huge party the Student's Union throws every year just after teaching finishes and before exams. They have several bands come play and apparently its over most of the college. I still need to figure out my dress.

4) Other random things I've been doing include taking pictures (flowers and trees are blooming everywhere, its so pretty!), cooking (a couple girls and I made fajitas after fitness, and my room mates want to have a tea party, and possibly more cooking dates in the future with frisbee kids), and studying (exams are coming up :( ). Time goes by so fast its crazy! I can't believe that I've only a month and a half left in Ireland!
