Thoughts on classes and other things...

So far I've gone to three classes; I already gave you guys a run-down of the Joyce class. Taught by Prof. O'Connor, for further reference. You care, I can tell.

The class after that yesterday was Northern Irish Trouble, taught by Kevin Raferty. This guy definitely knows his stuff...he's a political liason, journalist, something important like that. He just tossed out a lot of information that first day; I took about 5 pages of notes. And he's really pushing the book he wrote on us, which I'm not sure if I like or not. I'm leaning towards not. I feel like I'm going to get a lot out of this class...he said the goal was to be able to speak intelligently about the conflict in Ireland. Which will be a good thing to have gotten out of this trip. It'll be hard, but I'm hoping to enjoy it.

My class today, though, was fantastic. It's titled Celtic Myths and Legends, but in addition to learning all the old Irish stories and legends, we learn religion, and half our class is devoted to learning Irish :) I'll post some later, when I know more and have some time.

But the girls just got from class, so we're gonna hang out for a while. I'll post again when I have pictures :)
