So it has been a while

Sorry to have not updated recently, but there has not been much of great interest going on since Ireland. I went out on St. Paddy's day with some friends to our favorite pub, where I acquired a lovely Guinness hat. Friday I saw an operetta at the theater a couple of blocks from me, unfortunately I can't recall the name. I enjoyed it, however, it was difficult to understand what they were singing in several of the songs. I am not sure if this is due to the accent, or the way in which the music was sung. For the last week I have been working on 2 very long papers. Yes, I occasionally actually have to do work here. Sadly, they assign their papers by word count, not pages, which makes them seem like much more daunting tasks. In celebration of finishing my papers yesterday, Amber and I baked some delicious chocolate chip cookies, and ate a lot of sweets.
Over the next few days I will probably be taking it easy, maybe do a little shopping because everyone is having mid-season sales, and I have a few coupons (gotta have my coups!). I've already accumulated a lot of stuff, it is going to be interesting trying to get everything home.

Other future plans: A group of us have gotten tickets to the Newcastle vs. Chelsea football match next weekend, so that should be really exciting. Also, we are still in the process of booking everything for spring break and securing transportation, I will keep you posted as we finalize our itinerary.
