Today was fairly relaxing. I woke up and met up with Gretchen to go to the Leinster pub to watch the rugby game around 12 30. We met up with some other kids in her program there, and watched the 8 and 10 year olds screaming for Leinster to win the match. It was shrill, piercing, all of the above. The atmosphere was pretty cool, and the seats were hard to come by, but we got a fairly good view from halfway across the bar. The hush that would come over the entire place when there was someone kicking or when Glasgow was succeeding was INSANE. People actually shushed! Like in middle school! But we won (at least one of my teams can win), got the first experience of pub food, and i got to know some other folk in my program a little bit better, so it was positive overall.
The Leinster bar.
I'm clearly the best at informing people I'm taking photos of them.
Best advertisement ever.
Ehh, it could've been worse? Note the two different types of potatoes.
After coming back to campus and taking a quick nap, I headed out to the grocery store to pick up supplies for the next week of attempted cooking. I think I did pretty well, but they don't give out plastic bags here (thank god for the environmentally conscious), so I packed up everything in my backpack and a small fabric bag we got from the history department. Dinner was slightly more successful this time, and I think it's going to be an early night. For those of you keeping track back home, apologies for not having more!
