I wish I could say that the sole reason for the neglect of this blog is my busy life, but, if I'm being honest, it's more because I'm lazy. The past few weeks actually have been quite busy, though, so maybe it's not all my fault. Last Monday (the 11th) we went on the first of three trips we've been on since. Due to its being
Science Week and whatnot, we visited Tallaght Institute of Technology for a presentation on the
XTRA-Ordinary (because misspelling makes you cool, kids). It was pretty interesting, despite the ridiculous title, and we got free stuff, so all was well. After all that excitement, we headed to Liffey Valley for a lengthy lunch break, which was a nice addition to an already pleasant day.
On Thursday (the 14th) we were off yet again for an English trip. The year was split up by class group and brought to the National Gallery, the Yeats exhibit (in the National Library) and the National Museum of Ireland. I gotta say, being the massive dork that I am, I was pretty fascinated by the bog bodies.
After all that excitement, we were let loose on Grafton street for an hour or so, which was great news for McDonald's.
If I'm being honest, the most memorable part of the day was seeing some guy in a terrifying mask waving at our bus.
I've got a... thing about masks.
And street performers.
How about no.
