Of some reasons bank holidays are always on Mondays in this country. They actually have quite random days off in March, May, June, August and October. Usually people don't enjoy Mondays that much. I guess the Irish are not an exception.
Anyway, today I was jogging, washing clothes, cleaning up in the bedroom and being overall productive. After I had lunch I headed off for college to read and revise for the exams. To my surprise most buildings on campus were closed. Those that weren't closed were filled up with students. No free space, neither a free computer in sight. What do you do in these occasions? Get a bit annoyed, and some times pissed of and angry. But on the other hand you have a reason to sit in the sun and wonder if you should go back home. On the way home you have an ice cream and find a small, adorable museum about Dublin. People are enjoying each other and the sun in the park and nobody is in a hurry. You always have time to relax spontaneously and do the important things later on.
I was delighted to find surveys quoted in the Irish Independent on how laid-back Irish people actually are: "The Irish have been found to be more laid-back than many other nations.An international survey revealed the Irish languish at the top of the laid back league table for having the most people with three to five hours free time every day."
Believe the Irish: in the end everything will be sorted out in some way.
