Mountaineering Monday

Sunday: Mass here is different. No singing, dull, and not very "praise the Lord" ... not quite a fan... but maybe it'll grow on me. I can also look for another one. The priest was quite droll. Only interesting bit was that the "Our Father" was in Irish.

Monday:
Classes: I'm a nerd and I think I'm going to keep the globalization and democracy class. Econ is neat as well, although not half so much. Library: damn people checked out the class book I need... and I kind of refuse to buy it so I'll try again tomorrow. Also, grr to the library and being an international student b/c my ID doesn't work yet and I couldn't check out books on the ivory trade.

Came home, enjoyed some convo with flatmate Rachel. She's quite interesting, hehe. Ate dinner, went out for the mountaineering club's free slide show. There, the treasurer, Danielle, who I'd met at clubs day, gave me an old pair of waterproof trousers (one less thing to buy, yay!), so very kind of her! We saw four different presentations. One person hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro... totally want to do it now. The other three were climbers... that's a bit too much for me. Although the pictures and stories were great, I prefer keeping my feet on the ground, plus, upper body strength is kind of lacking. I think they've got an excursion this weekend and if I can find boots, a rain jacket, hat, and gloves I'm totally going to be there!
