So on Friday I was working away on research for my paper and stayed at the library till 8 (that's quite late here by the way). It closes at 5:45 on Friday's but they had a reading room open till 9:45. While waiting for the bathroom and listening/speaking with some other Irish folk I heard them say "Well, life before exams right?" and "In my five years of college, I've only been here twice," meaning in his five years of college, he has only stayed at the library "that late" at 8 twice. How amazing is that?!? I've actually noticed that when people tell me they are staying till 10PM I actually think how ridiculously late that is and that when they woke up at 5AM how absolutely crazy that is - this coming from me man!! I kinda like it. I'm realllly reallly hoping I won't revert back to SMCM thought in the Spring and start to think that 1o isn't late and 5 isn't early.
Apart from that, no other interesting things. Oh, yaa, I've had multiple cultural clashes may I add while here. Ive managed to royally piss off one person and I think slightly aggrivate another. I have no idea if it's because I don't know when to keep my mouth shut, if the Irish are just oddly sensitive (which they totally are) or if it's because they don't know me like my friends do and don't really understand what I mean (I do believe it's this one). Ok, that's all I got. Off to bed.
