To Do

[trinityofone]

Today is my last full day in Ireland. I have a lot to do. I must think about these things in an organized manner, rather than just approach them as I naturally would--IOW, as a scatter-brained moron.

1. Get last of money out of bank account. Whee! All save 38 cents!
2. If possible, use up points on Boots card. Got two free Dairy Milk bars. Yay?
3. Go to the Trinity shop, buy gifts for family and friends. Hi. I have no money.
4. Go to Accommodations Office, check policy on donating bedsheets, dishes, etc. I can 'Leave the stuff in the room with a note.' Once again, I'm finding myself to be oddly fond of Trinity bureaucracy.
5. Finish packing (duh). Well, as much as I can reasonably be expected to do for now.
6. Clean bathroom. Ew, ew, ew. But I'm done!
7. Vacuum room. Done! God, you don't know how glad I am that soon, I will NEVER have to see this carpet again!
8. Buy tea! (Will need yummy Irish tea, even in America.) Bought tea (two boxes). And two Bounty bars. And a Galaxy bar. And a Fry's Peppermint Creme. And a box of Jaffa Cakes.
9. Eat one last ploughmans. And it was a really GOOD one, too!
10. Take a walk around Merrion Square; sit in park for a while, if there's time. Wandered around in the sun, then sat and read How Many Miles to Babylon? for a while near the statue of Bernardo O'Higgins. Took more dorky pictures of Oscar.
11. Return suitemate's copy of Never Let Me Go--which is SIGNED and will make me feel really guilty if I accidentally steal it; why is she never home? Guilt assuaged!
12. Go to O'Neill's for last meal; hope steak and Guinness pie is on the menu (I love steak and Guinness pie). They did, and it was delicious! I ate too much. Oof.
13. Check bus times. Every 15 minutes. Good.
14. Make sure I have proper change for the bus tomorrow. e1.85. Check.
15. Charge and reorganize iPod. Done and done!

I think that's everything. I hope that's everything.

Anyway, sorry for all once and future spammage. This move is making me really, really anxious.

On a happier note, check out the icon megolas made me. That's me pressing a toe onto Trinity College's sacred grass--which you are absolutely not allowed to walk on, goddammit! I'm such a rebel.

...I would've left the 0.38 in the bank account, so that you'd have a bank account (for euros!) to return to if you ever need. They close the account when you take all the money out, or at least they do in some countries.

I've never met a Fry's peppermint creme. What are they???

Wait. Steak and Guinness pie...? When did you start eating red meat again and how did I miss this major world event??

(Great icon.)

I did leave the 38 cents in the account. I took out everything save 38 cents.

A Fry's Peppermint Creme is...hmm, kind of like a York? But different? In the same way that Bounty bars are different from Mounds?

I've been eating red meat almost since I got here. That was the idea, that I'd stop once I came so I could experience real Irish food!

Glad you like the icon. Sometime soon, I need to do a big write up of my wacky week with megolas, siriaeve, fyrie, and wychwood.

Ahhhhh. That makes so much more sense! I was reading it sort of like "all hail" not "all except," though I have no idea why. :) Good plan. ;)

I just had a intense moment of sadness because I was going to be like, "well, maybe I'll figure out how to cook steak and Guinness pie and cook it for you sometimes," and then I remembered that you're not going to be in Berkeley, even though you'll be back in this country. :(

I keep getting pangs of sadness about that, too! But I am still going to try to come up to Berkeley (I'll definitely be there in September) and you'll come down to L.A., of course. You can always cook for me then. ;-) I'd love to try your steak and Guinness pie.
