Okay, you truly can't go out here, not even to the movies, without looking cute! I went to see the new Harry Potter movie on Sunday, and I felt under dressed -- just walking to the movies for goodness sake! If I ever moved here, I'd have to get a whole new wardrobe. . .hmmm, there's an incentive. . . ;c)
All is well; I had a very low-key weekend. I didn't end up going to Connemara on Saturday as my friends elected to take a bus trip instead of driving -- no need for that when I'll be hitting all the highlights with mom next week. (PS, I'm so excited for mom coming Friday!) Anyway, I explored parts of the city I hadn't been to before and spent quite a bit of time planning my trip to Dublin later this week (we all know I over plan -- I practically have the map of Dublin memorized). Last night was the Macnas parade, and while it was short, it was very cool -- I'd never been to a night parade before! There were these huge, lighted puppets patrolling the street; they were just awesome. Unfortunately, even though we got there really early, as soon as the guarda (police) closed the street everyone pushed up in front of us, so there will be heads in my pics and video. I will post the video soon. . .and I know, I still haven't posted videos from the Aran Islands either; they just take a long time to upload!
Today was my last Irish Society class, and tomorrow is my final Lit & Film class as well as our final exams in the afternoon. I am ready to be done with the classes, although both have sparked so many new interests in me I have a feeling I will be continuing my Irish studies for years to come!
