Mid-Term
So after our amazing trip to LA, it’s back to reality of continuous assessment and the looming final exams, however we still made some time over our two week mid term to spend time with our American host Christie from MICC when she and her friend, Ali came to visit for St. Patrick’s day, luckily they were here during our good weather spell and we brought them around the usual tourist sites such as the Guinness Storehouse, Dublin Castle, Trinity and of course to the St.Patrick’s day parade and carnival.
It was lovely to see them both again and be able to return the favour of showing them our local sites, it was different to see the city through their eyes, as things we would walk straight past and pay no attention to normally, was exciting for them such as all the different doors on the houses in Leeson St. They loved the parade and witnessing true Irish behaviour (good and bad!) and it was a pleasure to help show them around. We got to reminsce about our time in LA as well as discuss different cultural traditions between the US and here. Unfortunately, the girls have now continued their travels to Scotland, while we get back to our books and essays. But with only a few weeks left until we’re finished our undergraduate degrees, there is some excitement to look forward to although we are both sad that our time in Quinn has ended so early. Now off to do some study before the Ireland v Wales match….
