Presidential Inauguration!

Tuesday classes: Cooperation and conflict and econ. I'd planned on going shopping for mt club gear with Mandy, but the rain made me so cold and I, stupidly, hadn't worn my boots and so I felt more like staying inside. So the library kept me warm and I read about the ivory trade.

At 4:30 the College Bar had an inauguration party. I should've gotten there early, it was packed! But oh so good! Yay President Obama! I'm pretty sure he almost brought me to tears at one point, go ahead and laugh, I don't care, it was brilliant! Although I must say, could they have picked a bigger weirdo for the prayer?

Anyways, after the inauguration party at the college bar, I went with two others to the King's Head pub in the city centre. There they were watching it as well as the follow up. I got to see Bush fly away, it was spectacular!

From there I returned to campus for the Film Society's showing of Amelie, an adorable French movie. Located in Paris, it was really exciting to be able to think "I've been there!" or "I love Montmartre!" After that, I went on home, talked with Caitlyn a bit and have possibly decided to go down to Cork this weekend, we'll see. I think our schedules conflict but I'm still going to look into it. I sort of wish I hadn't been so cold and eager to go home and warm up, or that maybe I'd turned my cell phone off of silent b/c I'd missed a text and call from Mandy. Evidently they found a pub with trad music and dancing! I'm here for more than 4 more months, I'll get to it, no worries.

Sad: I lost one of my hoop earings... damn
Happy: I got a package from home! Thank you! But come on, only 5 pictures? Oh well, I've got tons on the computer, the 5 are definitely an improvement! Thanks, I truly appreciate it!
