Here comes the sun... And midterms! Monday July, 8 & Tuesday July 9, 2013


The best weather since the 1980's has happened during the month that we are here! Hallelujah! It has been 80 degrees and sunny ALL WEEK LONG and the Irish do not know what to do! They do not have the appropriate clothing and are burnt red. We unfortunately have not been able to enjoy what we know as normal weather, (other then wearing shorts in the library) due to midterm stress and studying. The assessments at NUIG are all at once, in one huge room, with hand written essay questions for a huge amount if time. So we had 2 exams during a 3 hour period and wrote 10 pages. The only good thing that came from these days were that we found delicious and cheap food at the college bar, especially the Cajun Chicken Panini. We celebrated by going to a new bar with great traditional Irish music called Tig Coili.
