Not much has been happening over this first week of Spring Break but a couple of interesting things have happened since my excursion to Merrion Square.
I saw a guy texting while riding his bike.
I saw 4 police motocycles and an undercover car go blaring past me.
I can't find a single Lemon Poppyseed muffin in this entire city, apparently they are not big on muffins here.
The guys downstairs had 15 people here since the weekend and it's been pretty rowdy, they've been doing things such as keg-stands on the balcony, shots to the song "shots, shots, shots," going to club 21 and bringing home random people to apartment at 4am.
I biked to school on Tuesday to get books for my Irish History paper but most of them could only be taken out on short loan (2 day) so it put me in a bind.
I managed to write the majority of my paper yesterday and then I biked to school returned the books and made a quick turnaround to come back, just over 7 miles in about 50min, my legs are KILLING ME!
I got to Skype with my one and only Emily yesterday and that's always a good time. I love to catch up with people back home.
I'm pretty sure that I saw Jack from "Will and Grace" sitting in my school lounge this afternoon.
I've managed to keep the kitchen spotless for a whole week now...much easier when they're aren't four people here, I can let me OCD come out.
I found cleaning wipes since for some reason neither Clorox nor Lisol is sold here.
I'm going to pick up my Bent friend, KChan from the aiport tonight with her two friends and they are going to be here until Saturday.
The St. Patrick's Festival kicks off in city centre tomorrow but I have a feeling that I will doing a tour of the Guinness Factory ;)
I had to venture once more across the city to pick up a package which as it turns out was from my older sister again and I'm proud to say that I've already used to the 64 crayons and pirate coloring book that she sent me...oh it takes me back.
I actually managed to watch an hour of television today upstairs since once again the entire building is empty save for me, until tonight at least.
I finished my Irish History paper this morning.
When I went to Dunnes this week, they were having a sale these lemon glazed finger rolls, so I bought some hoping to stymie my lemon poppyseed craving, but to no avail. They aren't that good and didn't do shit for my cravings.
There has been over a week straight of sun but this morning was cloudy, fortunately it hasn't rained yet and I'm hoping it at least stays off until after the weekend due to a TREASURE HUNT that it supposed to happen across the city on Saturday. Granted it's Dublin so I doubt it will be canceled, but it would be nice to have it in decent weather all the same.
But I'm very grateful for the sun, it's been a pleasant companion these last few days.
Oh and I just found out that the new Eclipse Trailer has been released: The #EclipseTrailer is here! http://bit.ly/94120L
So that is SUPPPPPPER exciting! For those of you who don't know, Eclipse is the 3rd book/movie in the Twiligh series.
So all in all, it's been a nice quiet opening week to Spring Break. I have been sleeping in until around 10am every day and enjoying it. I've also managed to line up an internship interview (finally!) and it's actually in Maine, so there's a chance I might be home this summer, but I'm still debating it. Cross your fingers that the interview goes well and I can have options open to me!
In other news, I'm having a really tough time with one of my projects given that the person I was supposed to interview...well, I can't get ahold of her. So I have to find another route to greatness. But on the plus side, I managed to do my piece for my Innovation and Change Project, so that's all well and good and I'm hoping that everyone else is managing to do their part as well.
Right about now I'm just sitting back and letting the city all sink it. Sometimes there are even moments of quiet where I can actually breathe and hear myself doing it.
