Last night I went out to a pub to watch the Euro match between Germany and Portugal. It was a very exciting match, so watching in the pub was fun even though not many people were there watching with us. It's a strange and wonderful experience to be watching a soccer match in a public place with random, everyday people who arn't very into sports but still understand what's going on. Not like that in America. Oh, and the picture is of the main quad on the UCC campus. Not a bad looking place.
Today we had our health and safety "training". It was, as expected, horribly boring. By the end of the hour when the instructor asked if there were any questions I was tempted to ask if it were ok to drink the chemicals we were working with. Sadly this guy probably would've thought I was serious. Either he really enjoyed repeating obvious things or he thought that pretty much all of us were completely oblivious about lab safety. But that is rather what is expected when someone tells you about a mandatory safety training.
And since people remember the first and last things about writing, here's a picture of one of the main shopping streets in the City
