Back from Ireland

Posted 04-25-2009 at 09:49 AM by Wil
I have returned to Sheffield from my recent fieldtrip to an Internetless sector of the west of Ireland. I had an enjoyable time after all that intense consternation beforehand, and the weather was quite the reverse of what it traditionally is: I received my first sunburn of the year recording the diameter of pebbles on an old potato field. I also received a drunken but official pardon from someone I got a little too frisky with when off my face earlier in the academic year, which was nice. The end result is that I have gotten a whole module out of the way in a week. Plus, for a very respectable eight quid, I got a two-and-a-half pint drink on the ferry home, and I got to keep the tankard.

I haven't yet seen many of my fellow academitranscient dee-dars, but both my housemates were home when I returned, and now they're both away for the weekend. I was overjoyed to be greeted by two blocked sinks, a rancid bathtub, and an ant population. I'm spending my time pretending to be cleaning the homestead, but I know I'm only here for another month and a half, so it's hard to put much heart into it. The search for accommodation for next year needs to be stepped up a notch, but my revision for upcoming exams should be stepped up a dozen such notches.

I see that absolutely nothing interesting has happened on the Forums during my absense or for the last few years.

I forgot that you'd gone there. Your absence worried me.

I can't believe I forgot to mention the one thing that inspired me to make this entry in the first place.

This happened while we were not all too far away, although our only connection to it was the module co-ordinator buying a tabloid to read about on our way home, and mentioning that he used to shop there.

It's funnier when ostriches get loose and roam the urban landscape.

I've watched Northern Exposure. Does that count?

Are there exploding ostriches running around in urbanised areas with ice cream coated, gelignite filled durex featherlites inside their stomachs?

That happens all the time in my neighbourhood.

Get on MSN. I've missed my dose of Wilness.

EDIT: Can you please stay away from the forums, though? I've almost caught up to your rep.
