Knitting, Milkshake runs, and Alan Rickman spotting

After going to the knitting club meeting today and failing at trying to teach Brooke how to knit, we gave up and decided to go for milkshakes at the milkshake bar a block from campus.  And guess who was lingering so artfully under the arches of the main gate, seeking refuge from the light drizzle so near and dear to every Dubliners heart.  None other than the very stately Alan Rickman, looking a little damp and gray but dashing as ever.  Don't you wish you were here?


Anyway, I've been a bit under the weather for the past couple days but am feeling much better now.  I apologize for the slew of posts below but I can't do just to each place I went this past weekend without giving it it's own post, plus it makes it much easier for me.


This week at Trinity classes have finally begun.  I had my first three yesterday and have another lecture on Wednesday.  Excepting tutorials, which I'm not sure about yet as far as scheduling goes, I only have class Mondays and Wednesdays (fingers crossed).  I'm taking an English seminar on Ireland and Children's Fiction, a lecture called Shakespeare: Stage, Text, Screen taught in the prettiest classroom I've ever been in, and a history course on continental Europe from 1870 to 1930.  Three courses = 6.5 hours of class each week, not including the massive amount of impending readings.  But whatever, I'm excited.


So as you can probably surmise I had no class today.  Although I woke up around 8, I cannot remember what I did procrastinating until finally leaving around 3 to get another duvet to stuff under my sheets and make my bed slightly less like a medieval torture device, a new phone SIM, and flowers to brighten my day. The milkshake helped of course too.  As did Alan Rickman spotting.  Enjoy the posts below!

PS - I know it's tedious, but there's a Galway post you might have to hit the Older Posts button to see. Sorry there were so many today.
