Weep for yourself my man

I didn't think today through really. Actually, I just suck. I didn't want to wake up early. No, earlier. I didn't know what was on my Irish final. No, further back. I didn't go to Irish class last week--either days. And to be perfectly honest I didn't go the week before that either. At the same time: things in Dublin close early for some reason. Early being five. So. I needed to be back here at school by 3pm for my wouldhavebeen final for Irish. The plan last night was to wake up at 8 and get the heck out of here. Well, my phone went of a eight and it wasn't even light outside, so I went back to sleep until 9. At about 9:30 I re-realized that it takes an hour to get into town. We did go into Dublin, but we only had about two and a half hours to be there. We saw the Book of Kells at Trinity college though! The Long Room is really cool. You aren't allowed to take pictures in there, so this is what you get. The little exhibit thing downstairs about the books is cool too. For those of you who are unaware, the Book of Kells is this really old copy of the 4 Gospels. It is so special because it is basically a piece of art. It's really ornate and there are pictures all over it and it's colorful still and in Latin.

We had time for a quick pint in Temple Bar district before catching the bus back here. And then shit got frustrating. It turns out that we all have individual times to go in for the speaking portion and mine is tomorrow. Grand. We could have done a lot more in Dublin today. I'll just have to not be a wuss tomorrow and get the hell out of bed earlier--before it's light out apparently.

We made dinner--stir fry with all kind of vegetables and bacon joint. It was good. I was satisfied.
Tomorrow is St. Patrick's cathedral, and walking around, and then the Jameson factory after my stupid test. Friday: Blarney! It's going to be awesome. That's my favorite place on this island as far as I've seen so far. And then we're gone on Saturday. We have to spend the night at the airport on Friday since our flight is super early. But it's quite alright. I'm excited.
