...which is why movement class is really, really hard for me. Also, I have trouble learning sequences quickly so basically I just bumble around during all of movement class. But I still enjoy it.
Just a few updates on what I've done lately. I went to see Uncle Vanya at the Gate Theatre and it was a very good production. The set was amazing.
Peter and I went to visit Newgrange and The Hill of Tara this weekend. Newgrange is a 5000 year old Neolithic fort...older than Stonehenge, older than the pyramids. It was SO cool. At The Hill of Tara, there is a stone called The Destiny Stone. The person who touches it and makes the stone roar is the next king of Ireland. Peter tried, it didn't roar, so unfortunately we won't be claiming the throne any time soon. These sites were both pretty amazing. Also, we stopped at a church that had the relics of St. Oliver Plunkett. We saw his preserved head! It was a bit eerie, so Peter and I dashed to the bakery next door to the church and had delicious tasty éclairs. I never liked éclairs before this trip, strangely, but now I am quite fond of them.
I'll post pictures from the weekend trip later. They are all on Peter's camera so I have to wait for him to upload them!!!
Otherwise, this week I am just working on papers, making a playlist of Christmas music to get in the appropriate seasonal mood, and cooking. I made a Mexican tuna casserole last weekend that was good but didn't sit well with the stomach. I will try a different variation next week. Nora made pasta sauce last night and that was great. Tomorrow night is fajita night at the Leeson St. apartments, and our entire theatre class will probably be there pigging out on their tasty fajitas. I'm just enjoying the food that everyone else makes for me and I'll be grumpy when I have to start cooking again.
I'm planning upcoming trips to Cork (maybe) with a side trip to Blarney Castle and Killarney National Park. And the rest of the time I will try to see what I haven't already seen of Dublin before I leave. But for now...I have to do laundry.
