irish

i'm starting the process of signing up for classes at marylhurst. while flipping through the pages of the catalouge (yay for adobe pdf! virtual flipping is here!) when i found a rather unusual entry to the languages section. irish (if you don't beleive me, look. scroll down to 'cultural and historical studies'). now, i may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that the national language of ireland was english. granted, most non-irish have a hard time understanding their particular accent, but i wouldn't go so far as to say it's a completely different language, needing an entire class for it. that being said, if i wasn't so focused on learning slovene, i might just switch to trying to learn irish. just so i could speak with a univeristy quality irish lilt. 'top o tha mornin' gov'na. yu'l nevah get me lucky charms.' see, i'm sure the grammer structure was all wrong, and i probably missed some of the characters in that little sentance. i need this class. i need it or will explode. that happens to me sometimes.
