Back in Dublin

We made it back to Dublin yesterday! When we got here we had to wait in the rain for like 10 minutes for our bus and then walk in the rain for about 25 minutes back to the dorms..not exactly the best way to start out the day but it got better! We didn't do much yesterday. A bunch of us went to some restaurant called The Goat and that was a lot of fun..I am ready to watch a sport besides race horsing though :) Today we had our last three lectures. The first was on the economy of Ireland right now. We had learned a little about this earlier but we got a lot more detail today. Then, we learned about the general history of Ireland..Usually, I would have found that interesting but I was tired and zoning out so I don't have much to say about that! Finally, we talked with a lady about the research she is doing on Catholic priests who have been accused of abusing children. It was interesting to hear her perspective on the situation. She said one time a survivor of abuse asked her who's side she was on (meaning the priests or his)..She responded by saying she on the side of people trying to improve and change their lives and she takes her stand against abuse of all kinds, not people in particular. I thought that was a very good way to look at things and it really stuck with me. Tonight and tomorrow are just free time and I will be home on Sunday! I can't believe it has already been 2 1/2 weeks!
