Dublin Riots Update

Okay. It's over. Has been for several hours. When the people on the radio went back to discussing rugby non-stop,
siriaeve and I ventured outside. We saw some shops along Nassau Street with smashed and boarded-up windows (Oasis! Noooooooooo!) but there were plenty of people about, and things seem to be going back to normal. Almost like nothing happened.
Thank you to everybody who wished us well. It was good, it's always good, just knowing you guys are there.
On a larger scale, the last I heard, some people have been hospitalized, but nobody was killed, so it definitely could have been a lot worse. As for me, I'm shaky and tired, but I think the "we survived a riot" McDonald's food that Siria and I got did more damage to my person than anything else today.
Now...where is the new SGA porn? I could really use some porn, dammit.

Love ya.

Date: 2006-02-26 05:18 pm (UTC)Anyway, I've been lurking around your journal for a bit, reading your SGA stuff, but I'd like to ask you about something concering school- I'm living in America, but would like to go to Glasgow Uni. I just wanted to see what it was like for you going into a international college from America, and what to expect and whatnot. Is that okay?
Thanks- twilight

Of course that's okay! I'm not sure if I'm the best person to ask, however--I'm only doing a one-year study abroad program; I'm enrolled at Trinity through Berkeley, which is quite different. If--and please let me know if I'm misinterpreting what you're saying--you're thinking of attending an international school for your undergraduate work, a better person to talk to might be, say,
