my life rocks so incredibly it's impossible to describe

[readingredhead]

Since Saturday, I have:

-had a snowball fight in the courtyard of a castle
-people-watched in a Dublin pub
-been caught in a snowstorm
-walked along cliffs overlooking the Irish Sea
-climbed Bray Head
-more or less relived key scenes from a Diane Duane novel (not my favorite, but how often do you get to visit an obscure Irish town you only knew about because of a kid's fantasy book?)
-eaten the most delicious scone of my life
-traveled by bus, train, ferry, and foot
-tried my first Guinness
-had my first drink bought for me
-listened to live music for free
-watched my first-ever episode of Friends
-discussed the Holyhead Harpies quidditch team while in Holyhead (Sidenote: Holyhead is ghetto and those lady quidditch players are either all on steroids or the wizardly solution to juvenile delinquency...)

And it's not over yet! Tomorrow morning I leave Dublin for Galway and the fun will only continue. Expect more complete update, with details, when I return on Friday/Saturday.

The Holyhead Harpies will cut a bitch, don't let anyone tell you any different.

Sounds like you're having quite the semester...!

I tagged you when I posted this to Facebook, but it seems apt given that last comment. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1925557

THEY WILL DAMMIT. Seriously, at noon, fifteen-year-olds were drinking out of paper bags...in the churchyard. Of an ancient church built up against the old Roman walls of the town. And they were perhaps the least shady characters.

The strange thing? I've been randomly devouring Friends episodes in the past week or so. Before now, I had seen maybe three.

And suddenly, my jealousy of your excursions are morphing instead into ideas and plans of my own. :)

Candace, my goodness...look at you. You're such an adventurer! Maybe one day I'll be able to see what you've seen. :)
