Back to normal class today, though it seems that many of our number were out partying last night and thus classes were significantly less crowded today. Classes were pretty standard today, though there was a film showing of "The Wind That Shakes the Barley," which is set in the midst of the treaty that partitioned Ireland into the Republic and Northern Ireland, setting up the tensions of the Unionists and the Nationalists. The movie is widely acclaimed, though pretty intense and violent--not one to watch if you're in the mood for something light-hearted.
And in case anyone is wondering what the current top singles in Ireland are, I'll attach a link. Why this one? It's currently stuck in my head. The accordion is very catchy.
