Weekend

A Quiet Weekend

This weekend, I stayed in Dublin. I had a bit of a cold, and some things to get done.

Dublin International Film Festival

On Saturday, we had our orientation, for the next week and a half's worth of volunteering. Volunteering, among other things, scores me at least three free movies and a new t-shirt. Pretty good deal, I think, but I have no idea how I'm going to decide on which movies. There's also a couple of free sessions on scriptwriting I'm going to try to sit in on.

Ireland vs. France

Sunday was the big rugby game, so Maggie, Leigh and I went down to O'Brien's (the pub down the street), to watch the game. I'm still not very clear on the rules, but Ireland was winning with about three minutes on the clock, when France managed to score. Very sad. But we made a new Irish friend: Edward. He works at one of the banks here and told us a lot about how American policy is affecting the rest of the world.
