I has been a deliciously wonderful weekend of doing nothing at all. After being rather down about the whole "Thanksgiving in Dublin" thing, it was good to take time for just me and Brianna. A lot of our classmates were out of town this weekend, so we just bummed around Dublin doing things that looked fun. As of right now there are only 20 more days here in Ireland, and though I'm excited to go home and see friends and family (especially Sam!), there is still a lot that needs to happen here. Our final performance project is in two weeks and is completely ridiculous. There are four performance-based classes and so each teacher gets 15 minutes in the hour-long show to demonstrate what we've learned....barf. Some are ok, but the majority of our instructors are insane. You know its bad when I, a theatre student well-versed in the art of taking something symbolic WAY too far, thinks that what we've doing it silly.

Other than that, we've several papers due at the end of term; mostly easy ones. I'm going to try to get my Seagull reading off the ground (haha) and performed just as a directed reading right after our final performance, hopefully it will work.

I'm finishing up my X-mas shopping and I am proud to say that for the first time ever, I've gotten something for everyone in my family. Like...everyone, all the cousins and siblings and spouses. Granted, they are all around 2 euro each, but its the thought that counts right? And besides...I'm in Ireland, so i've found little cheap pieces of ireland to give to people. Also, if i didn't get them here, then I'd only have 10 days to shop when I get back.

Well, my iPod is charged and I must go find Bri. We're going out to dinner for our 3.5 year anniversary and watching the Christmas light lighting and parade on O'Connel street!
