I'm still holding out hope I'll get into Hogwarts


         I’ve been epically busy since two weeks ago, so this week is a nice break, though I really need to get on those applications blah. So the rugby team made it to the final! This is pretty exciting for them (and me, but not quite as much) cause they made it last year and lost in the 30 min of overtime they played. God I hope that doesn’t happen. My biggest problem with the team is that the times of things keep changing right before they’re due to happen. Like we suddenly had a team meeting at 6 on Tuesday. Only problem is that I have class until 6. Yeah. And, I mean, I did end up getting out early, but it’s not really super fair if I can’t make it cause of class and then I get kinda yelled at, like Liz. If you freaking want me there, tell me more than 5 hours in advance. Same with games. The date of the final was changed a freaking lot before finally settling on 25/3. And the Rugby Ball—it was 6/4 but now is 8/4. I mean, we couldn’t go to either, but randomly changing things is so inconvenient. It’s not our captain’s fault—everyone else does this too—but I don’t get why everyone’s schedule isn’t decided well in advance. Maybe a Europe thing? It’s starting to get on my nerves. But I do feel bad cause I’m missing practice for St. Patty’s Day cause IFSA is taking us to Dublin, but def not bad enough to skip it. I would regret that for the rest of my life, fo sho. But good news—we’re getting our apparel!! I’m mostly excited cause I’ll finally have a sweatshirt, something that I have missed so effing much.
         Somewhat hilarious story: so I’m walking over to Claire’s for her Mexican night party and putting my earrings in when I realized I’ve dropped one of my pearls. First thought: oh #*&@. Second though: I will not leave here until I find it. So I search the sidewalk for like 30 minutes, all the while drunk Irish are walking by laughing at me. How rude. I get a flashlight from the Warden, search for another 15 min like before he comes out. He literally walks to the very edge of my search zone, where I hadn’t looked yet, and finds it immediately. I was both pissed and relieved. Seriously, world?! Anyway, I have it back and my life (aka ear) is complete again.
         Idk if I’ve complained about my shower at all but basically the drain has never worked. I can take like 3 min showers, turning the water off often, otherwise it floods all over my bathroom AND room. BUT THEY FIXED IT. I am so happy I just stood in the shower and luxuriated in actually being able to have the water on for more than 30 sec at a time haha.
         Hilarity today—I was eating in the cafeteria and all of the sudden a group of primary school boys walked by the window. That wasn’t too remarkable…except for the fact they were wearing robes! Like Harry Potter robes ahhhhhhhhhhh so awesome!!! Woah epic win.

Slán go fóill!
