So... the first month of my stay in Dublin is already gone... Which means one third. Balance of this first part? Really positive.
Once more, there is not a lot to say about the week at work. I have been working on two different projects, the Folens one, about school books, which I had been working on until now, and then a new one about a list of Solicitors in Ireland. Apart from that, a new intern came on Monday. She is called Valentina, she is 18 and comes from Turin.
The week has been pretty quiet, not only at work. Indeed, we have been home everyday but from Tuesday. Then, we went to a pub nearby to have a beer, Andrea, Ayla, Christian, Tomoyo and I. And also on Wednesday, I decided to go to O´Connell street because I wanted to have a look at a couple of things in Penney´s.
Oh, and I have also bought the plane tickets to England, to visit Carolina in Durham, and my sis has bought hers to come and visit me :)
On Friday, since it was holiday here on Monday, we went out from work earlier. I was really looking forward to getting home, because Ayla had told me that we had a new flatmate and, in my case, roommate. She wasn´t here when I came, but she came a little bit later. Her name is Julia, she is German. She's 19.
Friday plan was simple. We went to have a beer with a couple of friends of Ayla. We weren't for a long time in that pub, but we then went to another one. Typical, you go out for a beer and you end up closing the bar. That was Friday. Well, it is not a big deal, considering that "closing late" means closing at 3-3:30 here... but well... Anyway, we really enjoyed the bar, it is quite big, has a couple of floors... And, above all, music is quite good. And as far as I know, there is live music every night.
On Saturday we went to the Mart, a small market on the old Fire Station, where daily some people go to sell their handmade stuff. And we went with Tomo, who wanted to sell the jewelry she makes. We were there for a while, and then we came back home (just when it started raining). The rest of the evening we did not do a lot of things, just lying on the couch... And at night, we went to Cielo, a nightclub nearby.
Yesterday, we decided to go to the cinema. We wanted to go to the 15:40 showing, but we couldn't make it on time, so we waited for the next one having a coffee and doing some shopping. We watched "No you see me" for 9,40€ (student discount included). We really enjoyed the film, so somehow paying that amount of money was worthy. But still... wow. And then, after the movie, we went to have a pint in the Temple Bar.
And today, it is the Ban Holiday here, so we won't be doing a lot (everything -but pubs- is closed). We will meet later, because Fabian is leaving, but that's it.
And not much more to say... C U!!
