School and Pre-Dublin

It's been a very busy and school-occupied week. I can't believe tomorrow is Friday already! Geez. Any way, as all of America suffered through the worse day of the year this last Sunday (time change day) I had to celebrate a little bit because I do not have to change my clock until March 30th. However, on Sunday I had no clue that the UK and for that matter...other parts of the world, didnt have a time change on the same day? Which is so weird to me. Well Sunday morning I woke up pretty early and looked at my computer and the time was automatically changed so I proceeded to change everything in my room that tells the time: two watches, a camera, and my ipod. After that I went around the flat and changed the all of those clocks ahead one hour. At about five o'clock at night I come back into the kitchen and the clock in there says 4:00pm, so without thinking I changed it back again and my flatmate's like what are you doing? I said "time change" and theyre like "no". So I learned something that day and set all of my clocks back. Im a bit relieved though because I dont want to wake up an hour early for another couple weeks. Oh and the time change in the US end in November and here it end in October. Well any way, Monday I had my last Children's literature class, but we still have to turn in an essay and then we have an exam in late May...but class is done. So for our last class we read the book "doing it" by melvin burgess. I...am virtually speechless about this. Because what the heck were we doing reading a book that as you may have guessed was about "doing it" and it was terribly explicit and blah! I think my professor went seriously nutzo because there is NO WAY that book could (or should!) be considered children's literature. So during class discussion our professor just randomly points to me and says in front of the whole class "I want to know what you think" I was almost speechless. Why on earth choose me to ask that question to? I just randomly rambled on about the most innocent thing I could possibly talk about, because otherwise I would have been discussing porno in front of 15 people. Not funny. Well the rest of my week has been pretty peachy. On Tuesday I went to The Mars Volta concert with my friend Matt. It was such a fun time. I normally have never liked this band and dont even listen to this type of music, but a lot of people I know do, so I said what the hey! And decided that I should give them a fair chance. The concert was great and a lot of fun, and such a good study/essay writing break. Yesterday I booked a one-way ticket for Spring Break (booking the return ticket tomorrow, dont worry). A few of my flatmates and I are going to London and flying to Krakow. We're going to hit up Hungary, Poland, Germany I think, which should be a lot of fun. Today I have been working my butt off trying to finishing writing my 2nd essay. Almost done, as of right now at this moment Im 66% done. Good. I leave for Dublin on Saturday morning around 4am and I'll be back on Tuesday around 7:30am. We dont really have any outstanding plans yet, but we're definitely visiting the Guinness brewery and partaking in St. Patty's Day festivities which will be a lot of fun. I think we're staying in a hostel? Or hotel? Either way we have to sneek in 5 people and Im one of those 5, so Im a little nervous about that! Ah, should work out fine though. No big deal. Well that's the update of my whole week practically! Got to get back to school! Boo!
