Frantic Rush

These past two weeks have been a little nuts. I've spent them cooped up in the library, but really it needed to be done. I had a great relaxing semester where I didn't do much so those 2 weeks weren't all that bad. I did really want to go out however because no one wants to spend their last few weeks in a foreign country studying. However, I know that everyone has been doing this - people in Spain and Argentina had the same work issue.

It worked out really well for me however. I essentially finished my 50o0 word paper on Thursday night along with my physics and this other paper. The kitesurfing and surfing club were having an excellent night out so I was definitly trying to go to that Thursday night. I did and had a wonderful night. Out to a pub w/ some free food and free shooters and then to Bodega for the snow ball which we got in for free. Friday was 12 pubs of christmas which was AMAZING and a highly class and messy night. Was great craic. Started at 3PM. Half hour for a drink at each pub. Saturday was off to Dublin. Brought in my birthday there at Temple Bar, sightseeing on Sunday and back home Sunday. I really wanted to celebrate my birthday here in Cork and I'm glad I was able to. Sunday night after I got out met up w/ some friends at Sober Lane. After that headed over to Liquid Lounge to meet up w/ some more friends and join in on the ISS Party (International Student Soc.). That was great. Got tons of birthday wishes and plenty of drinks of course.

Yesterday wasn't very productive but did some studying. Doing some more now for my Marine Mammals exams, but needed a quick break for food. Back to work as it is 1 and the exam is at 3. Despite all the work, it wasnt too too stressful and it all ended well. All's well that ends well - haha I think that's the saying whatever it means. Tmr is my last night here :( Most definitly going out.
