Day 13: Fáilte roimh do chéad seachtain de ranganna

Classes here are run in a very different manner than they are at BW. They only meet 1-2 times per week and are taught to a group of around 100-150 people. Most of the classes are accompanied by small group time slots as well. These only occur about half of the time and are meant for discussion and more participation in what you are learning.

Most of my classes are held in the afternoon as well, so it is really nice that I can sleep in a little and not have to rush to get to my classes. The lecturers so far have been very entertaining and passionate about their area of interest. I am excited for us to get further into each class and discover more about the classes that I am in.

After this first week of classes, I decided that I deserved a little fun and something completely new. So I decided to take an introductory to the Irish language class with tea and local treats. It gave me a great start into learning this beautiful and complex language.

The Musical Soc put on their first Open Mic Night on Friday too. It was amazing. The people had some great talent and voices to match. There were a couple groups performing too. I cannot wait to go to more of their events and enjoy their wonderful talents.
