My history class--Aspects of Modern Irish History--finally started yesterday, and it was awful. The professor walked in with a stack of notes, and read straight from them for the entire class. Not cool. So, today I sat in on another history class, Medieval Ireland 5th- 9th century, and it was fantastic! The professor was really engaging and hilarious as well (he even made a Princess Bride joke). Oh, and he wrote the textbook...and makes jokes about autographing them ("I'll sign them for 'ye and their retail value will triple! But why would you ever want to sell me book?")...it's going to be fantastic.
Today was also the Socs Fair, which is basically a huge club fair. I signed up for the Film Society, the Philosophy Society, the International Students Society, and the Skeptics Society, which should be awesome.
My flatmate from Villanova and I are going to go downtown for a pint in a bit...it's very strange, but Irish students go out drinking/partying/smashing glasses outside my window every night Sunday through Thursday, and then go home and rest on Friday and Saturday nights. Very strange, but when in Rome Galway, I suppose...
