Soooo I guess this isn't just a 4 month vacation and they actually give us homework....!??! This week was definitely not as exciting as last week but here's what I did!!
On Thursday, I had two classes. The first one is a writing class and the second is about Irish literature & film. That night my roommates and I went to a place called Bad Bob's. They had live music and it immediately turned into our favorite spot so far!!
Friday evening we attended a pub crawl hosted by the school. Well, they call it a "literary walk", because they try to teach us about authors or something during it.... but it's a pub crawl. That was really fun, and we made some more friends!!
Saturday morning I tried out the farmer's market down the street, but didn't do much else. On Sunday, I went to church. Hahaha not really but I did have to go on a self-guided tour of Christchurch Cathedral for a class project. It was actually really cool! That day, Storm Isha came through. Luckily, it wasn't as bad in Dublin as it was in the west, but I did have to walk home from the cathedral in 53mph winds and pouring rain! Yes, I did almost blow away...
Monday and Tuesday consisted of class and homework.... SO exciting!! On Monday, I did go to the National Gallery of Ireland (I also had to go there for a class)!! Today, Wednesday, I had two classes. But the first one we went on a tour of all of Medieval Dublin. Some churches, the Dublin Castle, and a couple other cool historical places. This class is honestly a really great way for us to see different parts of the city, but almost 4 straight hours of walking gets tiring....
So yeah, I guess that's really it for this week.... I wish it was more exciting but I have some fun stuff coming up this week!
p.s. yes I am starting the "weeks" on Thursday. I got here on a Thursday. It makes sense. Just go with it.
