Irish Again

So, this week I got back to my Irish roots in more than one way! I gave my presentation n Irish culture on Thursday. Yeah, it went grand. No problems except the video of Riverdance that I downloaded didn’t play (maybe that’s a good thing, haha). I think the students got most of it. Anyone I talked to afterwards understood what I was saying anyway! I gave them a few bars of The Fields of Athenry and at the end I did a bit of Dirty Old Town and Raglan Road! I enjoyed doing it and re-learned a lot about Irish history!

The second bit of Irishness was that I went out on the tear last night with some Irish fellas! I hadn’t been in a boozer in ages, so it was a good night. I had intended to go home early, since I had to meet my postgrad students this morning to practise English. Well, ended up hitting 2 bars and a nightclub and not getting home til half 3 in the morning! Only thing missing was a dirty big greasy snack box from Supermacs. Can someone post one over to me?

So, this morning, I was cabbaged ad had to meet those students. I told them I was sick. Don’t think many of them have had hangovers before, so I think they swallowed it! But it was tough going with a pounding head talking to them! Had my Chinese lesson as well this afternoon, which was a bit of a wash-out since I was knackered!

So, I’ll have to meet up with the Irish boys more often but not drink as much!!
