Dublin

Something that may have been realized simply by reading previous posts is that I am not a very social person. I don’t tend to get along with people, and I don’t tend to tolerate anything even vaguely annoying from people. Now, I do on rare occasion decide that being the world’s premier killjoy is a bit of a downer, so I let myself be semi-anti-social rather than absolute-anti-social. The difference is that I go along with what people say and I laugh a lot. Do I regret this? Every time! Will I stop doing it? Probably!

I mean I tried it at least…Go me!

Did I mean for those traffic cones to be there? Well…no I didn’t really have control over that. Let’s rephrase, would I have preferred those traffic cones to have not been there? Yes, but as they are there, I will just say its symbolism and move on. 🙂

Dublin was nice. I had fun. It was a severe disappointment to come home after being in Dublin with the three nice people I had started to enjoy so much. Honestly, though, I really did enjoy tagging along with them, I would not be surprised if it ends up being the highlight of my entire college experience. I haven’t really had a college experience so far, and I’m a senior so…the first entry also gets to be the highlight entry.

If I learned anything in Dublin…I have been thorough in my forgetting it. Oh, wait! The GPO! The General Post Office was the headquarters of the Easter Rising. They have made a large section of it into an impressive museum. The most impressive museum on the trip by far, and the most worthwhile. Now, apparently I am the only one in my group not incredibly confused by the whole thing, so it may be possible that a background of knowledge about the First World War is helpful. Oh, that and real-time strategy games, it really helps you get used to the camera moves made by the movie they show.

(We also went to another gaol, my thoughts towards which are in line with those on the previous gaol)
