So the Internet still doesn't work. I think that's fate telling me I should do other things. But tomorrow we have a field trip, so by the time you all see this it may be next week.
Anyway, today we learned about... um... literature, that's it! We heard about the Fenian Cycle of myths and the Oisin Cycle of myths. Most of you would be familiar with the Oisin myths; they include more magic and such. After that this absolutely adorable old man talked to us about geography, This guy had to be 80 and couldn't come with us to the Giants causeway on Saturday because he was going to be exploring the Galapagos Islands. Most of us couldn't get over his pants! They were these blue cargo things that had more pockets than I had ever seen! Also, he was as tall and thin as a beanpole, it was great. But he knew his stuff. We had two hours for lunch and then back into the room for 2 hours on Irish Migration. He guessed from our names whether we were Irish or not and yes mom, he guessed that I was.
We headed out to Lavery's Tavern for some live music (made famous in the story called Eureka Street)-
- Had good cover band/music person at first.
- Met up with man who couldn't stop staring at my chest because he was so drunk
- Girl from other school showed up and couldn't find friends, had major fight with boyfriend who is here
- Kept drinking
- Good cover person left, man singing about friends (and gonorrhea and HIV) in a really high pitched voice arrived
- Woman gets on stage, sounds jewel-like and way too shaky so we leave
- Discuss fact that Spar is open 24 hrs but that you have to go to a little window and ask for what you want and the little SPAR man goes and gets it for you... might not be a bad idea for the States.
- Get home, get ready for bed, eat non-moldy bread (bread molded within 3 days... apparently its damp here),and I went to sleep.
