Basically to those who don't know, Ballintle Court is Student Accomodation located in monkstown which serves IADT. There are approximatley 25 students living in Ballintle and as with any gathering of a particular number of people drama isn't to far behind....
We all gathered in early September and like all freshers, we were very nervous about a new change of scene and a big transition to a whole new level of both living and education. Therefore the innaugoral 'meet n greet' was, as expected, quiete awkward to be blunt. Particular first impressions were made such as "I'll be moving in on top of you" or the famous grunt that reigns from a particular girl in block 1. Some had began bonding friendships whereas others unknowingly entered relationships full of hatrid.
The first week passeed pretty smoothly and all tenants emerged unscafed but to a few feelings of home sickness as is to be expected. It was upon entering our second week in Balllintle that a crack became apparent in our large student family. The communal cooking and eating of what seemed distant first week was now unheard of.
Particular tenants became very self involved in posting ntes towards their housemates, such examples as "Happy Rules For A Happy House". A split within apartments became very evident to the extent that certain tenants would post Schwastica's(excuse the spelling) on their door where as others took a far more anti-rational approach and just decided to change the locks when a particular tenant returned home for the weekend, leaving that tenant and their stuff, quiete frankly abandoned outside their own apartment.
What happened to the nervous happy family that once bonded together so well? What happened to common coutesy within one's home? What happened to threats with shrades of glass? What happened to us??
