RAG Week

Coming up for the third week of the semester is RAG week at Mary I
it stands for Raise a Grand week and it is for raising money for charities.
There are events planned all week and students buy a rag pack of tickets that allow them entrance. They are 30 €

Basically what it amounts to is no one goes to class and just drinks all day. There are concerts each night, The Strangelets, The Saw Docotors, The Coronas, The Prodigy etc. And then themed after parties at the night clubs. Scotts bar right near our campus is kicking off the week by providing free beer and pizza during Monday

our student lounge on campus will have a bar from 1-6 pm each day of the week as well.

Pictures?

I know many of you probably want to see some pictures. Soon I will go and take some. Lately I have been forgetting to bring my camera when I go out, I don't persay want to look like a tourist.. Limerick is not the most safe town, infact its the dodgiest in Ireland.

I have free time now that classes are running, we are not out and about all day everyday so I will go to take pictures of my town and of my campus.

Tentative Schedule

So they do things differently here as registration for classes. Where in the states we are sued to the schedules being set in stone in advance and registering well before the semester begins, here you have until the end of first week, or second week for internationals, to register. So you can go to many classes the first week and find the ones that are suitable.

Tentatively I am going to be taking 4 modules (classes) and auditing one other one.

Irish Poetry and Prose 18th and 19th Centuries

Global Environment Change
Urbanization, Urban Growth and Planning

Gaelige: ab initio -----> Introduction to Gaelic -----> Irish Language!

I will be auditing (sitting the class but not being registered or taking the exams)
Abstract Algebra, which is the only math class left for me to take for my major.
