I SURVIVED RAG WEEK 2011!

Okay, so if you read my last post, you knew that last week was Rag Week (UL’s big charity week).

Well, I survived!

Major things I did:
1.  Jelly Wrestled (not exactly as it sounds…my roommate and I pretty much just played in jello water…).
2.  Rode the mechanical bull (and I wasn’t half-bad).
3.  Bungee Jumped (yeah, that happened).

The campus was pretty tight on security.  No one was allowed in your village unless they lived there.  You had to show your student ID upon entry to the courtyards where everything was happening.  Etc.

I was really bummed because the Rubberbandits were supposed to put on a show on Thursday night, but they were “sick,” so they are trying to reschedule it.  Hrrmph.

Went to Paris this past weekend, but that deserves a different post.  Just wanted to throw out this quick update.


^There’s me bungee jumping and flailing around like an idiot :]


^Jelly wrestling fun!

My Campus is Beautiful

I took the time on Saturday to explore all that my campus had to offer.  There is a river that runs on the outer part of UL and a path you can follow.  I did just that.

Photo Blog!

Pretty, right?

Saturday night, I went on a date! hah.  We went mini-golfing, which was a blast.  Their mini-golf place was inside, and the courses were intense.  No windmills or anything…it was actually like I was putting on a green. I know, right?  And there was nothing stopping the ball from rolling right into the water! That only happened to me once, I swear.  But then he took me to a pub with a live band, then to a club.  AND I got my first kebab (their version , that is).  Om nom. Delicious. 

This week is their Charity Week (AKA Rag Week).  Things are going to get intense.  I will definitely be updating throughout the week about that.

Paris this weekend. Dublin next weekend.  London the weekend after that.  WOO. 

I am also starting to write a good amount of essays.  That’s what they do for their midterms.  Dislike.
