This week

Now to back in Ireland. Funny thing, I had an amazing time in London, could have easily explored for way longer, yet at the same time I was content returning to Ireland. It left me feeling happy with my country decision, which is definitely a good thing!

This week is RAG week: Raise a Grand, although I've no idea how they actually do it. It's more of a get trashed 24/7 as opposed to only in the evenings. No joke, on Monday I saw guys walking around campus with beers around 11 am, others already swaying. Centrepoint is usually fairly quiet, not this week! I think my apartment might be one of two in the complex not hosting a party (although Rachel did come back for the first time in over a week with friends and Irene said it kept her up til 3...). But things have been chill.

School has picked up a bit. I've got a presentation on a paper about the Ivory Trade (to ban or not to ban, that is the question). Funny thing, I've yet to write the paper, like most of the class. Instead I've been doing readings for other classes, studying ever so little for the test I had today (another one I feel good about) and reading Mandy's British copy of HP7.

I did catch Ash Weds mass yesterday. It was the shortest one of my life! I don't quite get mass here but whatever. It was nice because I got to see some awesome people, like Melissa my "sister", who I hadn't seen in a while.

I've also been looking at price tickets to Spain. I'm looking for those 5 euro ones that are really 25 after they charge me 10 for check in and 10 for credit card handling. Not having a whole lot of luck with Ryan Air just yet. Also looking at going to Nantes and Pais Vasco, again, neither one really cheap... hmmm I'll keep looking I guess.

That's it for now, sorry London was such a novel. I had such a great time and half of it is for me so that way I can remember the awesomeness.
Oh, even better, returning from London I got a package from home with contacts, electric toothbrush replacement, chocolate (good thing I'm doing moderation not complete abstinence this lent!) and photos. Thanks Mom!
