Monday evening the English lady and I enjoyed the 1920s night with some jazz and free drinks.
On Tuesday I was running around the campus like a fool since I was taking part in disposable camera competition. One basically had to take pictures of things listed on a paper that was given with the camera. One of the challenges was to take a picture of the Trinity Cat that is supposed to walk around at campus. I still haven't seen it so maybe it's just a legend. I chose to draw it on an old blackboard instead. Another nice theme was to take a picture of the most alternative student. As the College is filled up with "hipsters" (whatever that concept then eventually is) I chose to shoot an mature madam who's in my social policy module. She's really charming and always listening to the lecturer, compared to other instagramming/twittering/facebooking students.
In the evening we watched Father Ted with the International Society. I think this is an Irish version of Salatut Elämät. Not that the content is the same, but the thing that everybody (ehm) is watching it even though it's not that good. Afterwards we have to do something more entertaining so we went to glance at some local young talents playing at Whealan's. Very Grand. A new acquaintance is Guinness with Blackcurrant syrup. The bartender wasn't too frolic to serve that, though.
Today I have been a good student and done some reading. We also saw a intense play called the Woman Who Cooked Her Husband performed by the Duplayers. It more than grand to have the opportunity to watch student theatre every night for 3,50€. And they do new plays every week.
Most people trying to guess where I'm from are guessing Germany. "It's your look and the accent". I might have to sleep more to avoid that in the future (no offence to Germans, you're lovely people, but I'm a Finn). No lectures tomorrow, which means I'm going to sleep. Very long.
