Two and a half weeks...

It seems like a long time. We've done a lot in less than 3 weeks. We traveled around and experienced the tourist side of Northern Ireland. It is truely a beautiful country! It was fun, but it's so nice to have a single place to stay! We're now settled into the school routine. The second week of classes finished today. Most of our classes involve quite a bit of writing, which i am NOT fond of. But it hasn't been too hard thus far. It's really nice that we only have each class once a week. And I'm only taking 4 of the 5 so i really shouldn't be complaining at all!

My class schedule is as follows: Tuesday-Irish Literature, Wednesday-Irish Literature, Thursday-Irish Art and Culture, Friday-Philosophy. For art and culture we will actually be attending a continued learning class at Queens University in Belfast. Their term begins next week. So, the last couple of weeks we've met with the professor and gone to an art studio and an art museum. I know nothing about art, so i'm looking forward to learning a bit more so that i'll be able to better experience and enjoy it! Irish Literature will also be fun, I think. Last week we read from CS Lewis' Miracles and this week was on Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eire. Both amazing readings.

I cant take credit for this photo, Jacob took it, but it's a view from the top of town looking down to the bay. our holiday homes are on the near side of the bay. You can see the mourne mountains on the right. love it.
