The Irish Weather

The weather was just a bit too nice during the last weeks… Today all hell broke lose: the rain just bucketed down as if it tried to smash us.
So I went to the local branch of Millets in The Square and decided to buy a light, hooded Peter Storm jacket (I thought the brand name is promising). Now, my wallet lacks 90€, but at last I can walk around outside without getting soaked.

The party was in the city centre, in a flat near O’Connel Street and the Spire and it was by far the best location for a party that I came across so far: an luxurious, spacious apartment on fifth floor of a modern building with a big balcony.

There is a variety of clubs and societies at the ITT and they play a major role in college life. The college even employs someone who coordinates all the activities.

Like almost all of the Erasmus students, I joined the International Culture Society (InCuSo). In fact, this is just a code name for the Erasmus-plan-trips-and-partys Society.

But I wanted to join one of the sport clubs as well. Diesen Beitrag weiterlesen »

Christian, mein leicht verrückter Mitbewohner, Photograph und überhaupt hat übrigens vor einigen Tagen auch mal ein Lebenszeichen in seinem Blog hinterlassen. Da ihn der ein oder andere aus dem universitären Alltag oder dem softwaretechnischen Albtraum kennen mag und auch an seinen Abenteuern interessiert ist, sei an dieser Stelle darauf verlinkt: DubFirstSteps
