We packed a lot in the bit over a day we had there. It was a quick trip, but a successful one. We got lost walking around that city enough for me to get a fairly good feel of Dublin, and we saw a good handful of the sights. Here are the links to the photo albums I just put up. Hopefully the pictures and the captions will give you a fairly good idea of my trip.

Dublin Ho!!!
Well I'm pooped and I'm packing. The last days of class have been crazy with all my teacher apologetically demanding work from us so that they could grade us for mid terms. Papers are written, projects completed and plays seen. I'm....
(at this point Julia comes in and very nicely reminds Allie that she is a bum and needs to help plan our Spring break given that it's days away. The next morning...)
Well then! I'm awake! Not that much sleep, but I can sleep when I'm dead, right? Har har har. But seriously folks, I'm going to Dublin... like... now-ish. I'm cramming the British version of oatmeal down my gulper and tugging on my socks. This is gonna be fun.
Last night I got to talk to Joey finally. He's all safe and sound in Ohio once more. Thank goodness. It's been awesome hearing about his adventures, but I've missed being able to talk to him on a regular basis. I get to hear about him chilling with all the people I love and it makes me happy. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast here. I'm sure you can tell, but talking to him as he walked down the street in Shaker and hearing the Cleveland wind from so many many miles away... It won't be all that bad to go home after this.
Meanwhile, however, Dublin. Dublin then Cardiff, Wales, then two nights in Bath, then a couple on the Isle of Wight then Dover and then back home. Spring break never sounded this fancy.
Well I should get moving. Got a plane to catch! Love to everyone! Toodles!

Little sleep and river slime
Well, I got one midterm in the bag. My multiD project got done with a bit of craziness involved and very little sleep Sunday night into Monday morning, but overall, the experience was a great one.
The other two members of my group were in Paris over the weekend, which kinda put a damper on our getting things done in a timely fashion. Still, as soon as they got back, my fellow designers really kicked it into high gear until it was done... at about 8:10 the next morning... for a 9:00 class. We camped out at my dining room table with some snacks and our computers, tossing flash drives around like we were juggling. It was super fun to work with a team of designers from different backgrounds, though. I learned a ton, and I felt really good about teaching a couple things too.
Unfortunately, I only got 45 min of sleep. Then I had class, with a guest speaker that I really had to fight to keep myself awake for, and then I had a lovely time working on my video midterm project with Haley. Our assignment was to make a video with the prompt, "on my way to Faraday." Faraday being the name of our school building. However, we didn't necessarily have to have it take place on the way to Faraday, have it involve Faraday, or be anywhere near Faraday. This leaves the assignment pretty free to interpretation.
Now, as you know, I have no shame... and Haley likes to be behind the camera, so our video ended up involving the two of us wandering around the neighborhood between our school and the Themes river finding places for me to dance like an idiot. The rough cuts are looking promising. I look like an idiot, but a happy idiot.
After making a fool of myself and accientally getting Themes sludge (ewwwwww) all over me we decided to call it a day. I was able to go back home, throw my clothes in the wash and take a very long nap.
The rest is not too interesting. I did some research for my CMD project (get pumped people. this is gonna be fun!) and talked to my family and Joey's mom. Joey got stuck in an air port last night due to nasty weather. He should be home soon though! It'll be nice to hear about him chilling with a lot of my favorite people in Ohio!
Well that's the story. Gotta down my rice crispies and tea and skedaddle! Hope all is well with all of you! Cheers!
