School Daze

My internet has gone out once again at my apartment. It should hopefully be completely up and running by this weekend. I am writing you from The Restaurant or the school cafeteria. I have to say a lot of the student facilities, i.e. the cafeteria, union, pub, are all very nice and modern. It may not have the history and flair of the Rathskeller, but at least its not antiseptic and bland. So today is finally registration, yes after almost a month I will officially be put on the roster. Many of you are curious about the classes I am taking so here they are:

Geography of Health

Northern Ireland Conflict

English Language in Ireland

History of Irish Thought

Ireland a Changing Society

I am also paying and taking for voluntary credit beginners Irish, Irish is the P.C. term for Gaelic, it seems. As always I admit I am having a bit of a hard time paying attention in lecture but that always takes me a few weeks to get back in the rhythm. The registration process has been less than ideal, and I realize for those of you from a simpler generation that my complaints of running around campus and waiting in line for hours for one class probably doesn't cause you too much pity, although alternatively it could cause a lot of empathy. I believe this weekend we are going to do a Cliffs of Moher tour, so next post should be a little bit more fun.
