Home again for the weekend. It feels nice. I was a bit out of sorts this week; probably because I'd enjoyed being home for the midterm too much. And I wasn't sleeping well. And the heating in the apartment broke again. Twice. Le sigh ( Read more... )

It's been a few days since I posted last. I went to the Debs. That was fun. We arrived at the hotel/nightclub it was being held at, had dinner, danced, and everyone got completely wasted.

Today was the Leitrim Fleadh...in Drumsna. Ha, rhyme. Anyhoo...I decided to go with Mammy and Eamonn, because Aoife was going to be dancing. We arrived, went to a pub. It was empty apart three men sitting at the bar. Mammy and Eamonn settled into a corner and I went outside to watch Aoife's dancing school dancing on the street ( Read more... )

In Biology Sinead came up to me, held out her hand and said formally, 'Let's forget that silly brawl we had yesterday ( Read more... )

Stupid Daylight Savings. I've lost a whole hour on my very last day of the Easter holidays ( Read more... )
