Hoy

Breakfast was a scone with butter and tea with milk and sugar. That was at 1:30pm. I really need to be better about waking up at a reasonable hour. It's hard though when I never have homework and my earliest class is at 11 and that's only 2 days a week. I also have to stop drinking tea at night. It's like I just have to drink tea constantly as soon as I'm out of class. It's this new weird obsessive thing I have going on.

Film class.

Irish class. I don't know why, but remembering how to say where you're from has been the hardest thing for me so far. Well, actually "The United States" is the longest country we've learned and doesn't follow any of the pronunciation rules we've been learning. So I cheat and say Seattle. Mexico is Meicsiceo. Same pronunciation. America is Meiriceá, pronounced "Merica." Italy is Iodáil, pronounced "ee-doil." Anyways, tomorrow the other class is combining with ours, and in honor of that--our teacher trying to show off--we are going to sing them a song. The song is about a girl wanting to go to a fair in Co. Clare, but her mom says no you're not even 10 years old yet are you crazy? I don't know, it's a catchy tune though. What you would think Irish traditional music would be.

That's kind of it. I walked around for a few hours after class. I can't wait for next week. I'll have better pictures hopefully. More exciting ones anyway. I'm sure everyone is tired of seeing trees and that spire.

What is this though? It's a smoke stack right? We have one at Central too, but they both seem to be unused. There's never any smoke coming out of them--that's a cloud in this picture--and what would they be used for anyway?

My to do list:
-activate my AIB debit card. That means going down to the branch in town, cause they don't do anything useful at the place here on campus besides let you apply for an account.
-"return" a book to the book store. They don't really let you return things though, you just get store credit.
-pay rent
-Modernism essay. That's going to be stupid.
-print confirmations for buses, hostels, and planes.
