The Week Approaching
FYI: I can't post pictures on this blog , unfortunately, but you can check out my ongoing array of photos at: http://photos.whitties.com/gallery/NatesAlbum
Ahh, I do love Sundays. The anticipation of the coming week, the serene laziness and slow pace, it's a great day. It's also more pronounced in Ireland. Most businesses are closed on Sundays, and things that are open tend to be on much more restricted hours. It also means that I have to walk a ways to get to a school computer lab, but the trek isn't that bad.
Also went for a jog this morning down the path past Corrib Village and to the soccer complex where I ran around a few of the fields and lost count of the dogs. People domesticate their dogs really well here, and I've probably only seen one leash, most of the dogs go unleashed and are very obedient.
Currently in the middle of finding more sources for my paper on the Boer War. It shouldn't be too difficult, and the material is interesting (how the war ushered in a change of British Imperial policy and outlook.) Should get the first draft of this sucker done before dinner, but if not no biggie. I'm looking forward to my grilled cheese dinner.
Oh, and today is 1 year and 5 months with Jilian, quite a long time, so that makes it a nice day as well. Talked with her on the phone last night, it's always good to hear her voice, but now both our phone cards are drained, so it'll time for another phone-card recharge appeal (if you're reading this Aunt Annie ;).
Rag week starts tomorrow, lots of good events at the college bar which are all free, so that's nice. On Tuesday is a karaoke competition (with prizes) , so I'll be there in full force and I'll be sure to let you all know how that goes.
