As part of the Literature class, myself and several other students went on another field trip yesterday. It was very cold and very raining, but nonetheless, for the most part I enjoyed it. Some of you may be aware of the famous poet, William Butler Yeats, as a Literature major, I'm very aware of this guy and have had many a lecture on him, so for me, this was quite interesting:) A group of us checked out his 14th century Tower that was used as a summer home for him and his family in the early 1900s. We sat and discussed several of his poems that were said to have been written by him in the same room. It was different, but neat. The tower itself was amazing, it has this winding staircase all the way to the top with some bizarr rooms located all in it. Mom, can you imagine if Dad told you, "Honey, we're moving to a 14th century war tower for the summer, pack up?!" haha, it was really interesting. We didn't stay there too long, but the next stop which was super close was the famous playwright, Lady Gregory's, once beautiful home and garden at Coole Park. Both Lady Gregory and Yeats helped start the now famous theater that I watched The Crucible in, The Abbey Theater, which is located in Dublin. Once we got here, we were forced to sit outside in thee Fa-Reezing and rainy cold to watch one of the students do a presentation on a play we were to have read. The premises themselves, were beautiful, the gardens, again, we're stunning, but the weather made it hard to enjoy. Beyond that, my Monday was good. Myself, Amme, Colleen and Caitlin had a fun Sunday night too, we were getting a little homesick for food at home so we decided to have a Mexican dinner! It was delicious! Before I wrote this blog I finished a response to a Literature piece I was to read and now I have to go to campus to print it out before class....on that note I'm outta here. Hope you guys have a great Monday.
Thanks for talkin yesterday Mom, God Bless you, Love you all.
P.s. Thanks so much for the reply Eddie, of course I remember you! Keep readin the blogs! Slan!
