spring at last

Oh, the weather in Dublin has been absolutely GLORIOUS for the past few days. It finally feels like spring. And I took myself out shopping today to reward myself for surviving the year (minus one last exam next week). You have to understand, I almost NEVER go shopping just for the sake of shopping. Like maybe once a year. So. And that was glorious, too, and now I have two shirts and a lovely summery skirt and shot glasses for the apartment and a book to read on the flight home. Spending money on myself for purely frivolous reasons! I feel positively DECADENT, even though it only came to about 30euro, all told. Also, just knowing that I'm going to be going home in exactly one week automatically lifts my mood. Home! I've packed up my posters and the one box I'm shipping, it makes it all seem so blissfully real.

And now supposedly I'm meeting some classmates for a "study group"...at the student pub. To revise for that last exam. Right.

Spring! I'll post some Dublin pics later. I keep meaning to go out at night and take some pics of Temple Bar at the height of its drunkenness, but that hasn't happened yet. We'll see.

So. After three days and one night of taking pictures, I present: Dublin, or at least the parts of it I like to take pictures of. I didn't stray much from the city centre for these, because, frankly, I LIVE in city centre, and that's where I tend to wander.
