hope that everyone survived the snowstorm and had lots of fun building forts, snowmen, etc. with all those snowdays (not bitter)! although not quite as severe, galway has been experiencing some rather horrible weather of its own. it's a miracle that i haven't been blown right into the river by now. the winds have been howling away for the past few days and even blew my earbuds right out of my ears on the way to class today. hopefully it will clear up for the weekend, when we're trekking all over the place? doubtful.
we leave bright and early on saturday morning for a long drive to derry in northern ireland. we'll be seeing the giant's causeway as well as the carraig a rede bridge. i'm pretty nervous about this second event... especially with rain. but i'm sure it will be gorgeous barring any disasters.
we arrive home on sunday night at approximately 10 pm and all of us americans will head over to garvey's pub to watch the superbowl! the game doesn't start until 11 here and this pub is kind enough to stay open until the game is over (in galway, it's illegal to keep pubs open past 12am on sunday SO the bar closes the blinds and locks us in until the game's over!) sounds fun :) jury's still out on whether or not american commercials will air but we're hoping for the best since those were apparently going for 3 million a pop this year.

| teach me how to raji |
it's killing me that i can't be in packer country for this epic event. my friends and i have been reminiscing about superbowl parties involving appetizers, family and debauchery. hopefully our boys will be able to pull through without us on actual wisconsin soil (although we already beat the bears so this would just be icing on the cake ;)). unfortunately i did not have enough time to have dad send a jersey so i'll be donning a plain green shirt instead... but thankfully it's the thought that counts and i, for one, will be in full solidarity with all packers fans come sunday night!!!

| you will be missed :( |
on a more depressing note... we received an email today telling us that our beloved holy cross president (likened to one albus dumbledore) will be stepping down once his position is filled. i can't help feeling that he too has been metaphorically killed by the forces of pure evil. it's a devastating blow and i'm secretly hoping that i'll be able to live out my senior year with him at the helm.
anywho, off to bed after a tough day of curling up with a blanket and watching grey's w mary. love you all!
