I was able to snag one of the seventy available spots for this weekend Surf Club trip. That's right, this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I will be hanging out in Bundoran, Ireland on the West Coast learning to surf. I have never been one with great balance on things such as skateboards or snowboards, so this could be interesting.
Today was my busy day with all three of my law classes. My Food Law class is by far the most interesting. Today's class was run by Professor Patrick Wall - one of the most interesting and accomplished people I think I've met in quite some time. It was a great opportunity to look at food safety from a non-legal perspective. But don't worry - it wasn't some kind of shock-and-awe presentation that ended with me swearing of meat or anything.
Since we got out of class early, I was able to make it to the softball practice for a good solid hour. Then it was off to archery. There were so many people at archery that we were only able to shoot two arrows at a time and then had to get back in line. Depending on what line you were in determined how much guidance you received about proper technique. I unfortunately must have been in the wrong line, because multiple times I ended up having the bow string strike against my forearm after releasing the arrow - and that hurts! I'm pretty sure I'll have a nice bruise appearing in the next day or so.
As for the travel front - I'm having second thoughts about a trip to Barcelona. It seems almost certain that if I go, it would be on my own. And I read that it is apparently the pickpocketing capital of Spain. I'm just unsure of how much I would enjoy myself. Perhaps my money would be better spent renting a car and diving deeper into Ireland, rather than trying to superficially hit up more countries. Comments?
