I got to 1200 words on my essay at 9:30 this morning and decided to take a nap. I got up at noon and just threw down the last 800 words in an hour. No proof reading. Bibliography may not have been right. Just don't care. Probably started rambling and bullshitting at the end--don't remember. But it's done and turned in and over so there's no use in thinking about it anymore.
That's kind of been it. Returned my books to the library. One thing I definitely think is cool about Ireland is that people don't ignore each other. You know when there are people in your classes and you've never talked to them but you recognize them places and you both know that you know who each other are. At home you just kind of look at each other and don't say anything. I passed this guy from my tutorial and I was spacing out and didn't even see him, but he goes "what's the craic?" That's just like saying hi. Sometimes you can actually answer, but if you're just walking by "how are ya" is the appropriate responce. No, if someone says "how are ya" to you, it's not a question. Another way of saying hello. They don't actually expect an answer. The first day I was here it was weird because I would answer people "good, how are you?" and they wouldn't answer. But anyway, the point is I think it's polite and makes sense--or at the very least it's less awkward--to acknowledge people you know you know but you don't really know.
Astrophysicists are cool. Colbert is the man. I don't really allot much of my thinking time or space to science. Mostly because it's mostly way over my head. But I have smart and nerdy friends to keep up with. I'm lacking in mechanics and maths, and I'm usually able to hang onto or lean on logic, but some science just doesn't make sense. I don't really have a point here. I watched a video and it gave me chills.
I'm very easily impressed with people who speak well. Or speak passionately. And I'm really impressed by people who can simplify things without being patronizing.
I'm a bit incoherent tonight.
