Inniú, bhí na ranganna an-simiúil! D’fhoghlaim mé go leor agus ceapaim go beidh mé reidh leis an scrúdú Deardaoin. Nuair a bhí na ranganna críochnatha, chuaig mise agus Annie agus Rachel (housemates) go dtí an bpáirc péile le féiceáil ar cleachtadh. Bhí Mícheál ag múineadh cupla fear cén chaoi peil Ghaelach a imirt. Bhí muid (mise, Annie, Rachel) inar suí in aice leis an páirc, agus tar éis cupla nóiméad, dúirt Mícheál linn, “Ar mhaith libh ag imirt? Tar anseo!” Chuamar, agus bhí seans peil Ghaelach againn a imirt! Ní raibh aon seans mar sin agam riamh! Thaitin sin go mór liom!  Agus bhí mise in an ag rith go tapa! Ní raibh fhois agam go bhfuil mé in an sin a dhéamamh!

Níos déanaí, tar éis dínnéar, chuamar go dtí an teach tabhairne agus stáidéar muid ann, i ndáiríre! Ar feadh trí uair! Agus anois, tá mé i mo leaba, ag feachaint ar Aifric!

Today, I got to play Gaelic football! It was so cool! Our teacher, Mícheál, was taking some of the guys who wanted to learn how to play to the pitch after classes. Annie, Rachel and I decided to tag along. We sat there and watched for a bit, but Mícheál called to us and asked us if we wanted to help out at all. We said yes, but quickly discovered that we were being brought into the game to play. Not knowing how and not dressed at all appropriately (I was wearing a denim skirt), we played. It was great fun! I can run! I didn’t know that! After the game, Annie and Rachel told me that I “Hauled ass out there!” Who knew?! What a way to spend the afternoon!

After eating dinner, we caught the bus back into town and legitimately spent about three and a half hours at the pub. May I justify this by saying that the first three hours were spent full-on studying. The last half hour I spent listening to the locals who had gathered there to jam.  What a great day.
