One week in dublin

hows it goin? i have just finnished my first week in dublin, my first full time job in an office. Its actually not as bad as I thought in fact i might even go so far a to say it was a great week. Not just work but being in dublin going out with a few friends and just the totally new experience.

I am living with family friends about 35mins out of the city on the Dart, the kinda over ground tube. They are really sound and Owen is just finnished a masters, mike has just finnished first year at UCD and ruth is doing her leaving cert(A levels) so there is plenty of craic.
Tonight i am going out with Mike to a girl's 21st but he went to a very fancy school so this girl has hired out a big castle on a hill and apparently there will be a free bar for 1hour. Nice
I have been enjoying the guinness, probably a bit too much but the Lord has been gracious

Its weird to be starting a whole new adventure with out some of you guys, it will be a bit different in october when i move into my flat and my two friends for my gap year come back to trinity. i think i will really miss southampton and all the people there, belfast is a bit differnet too with everyone growing up and moving on

as an aside the last night in belfast with Prime Cuts and Plus One from the Scratch Perverts was UNREAL they tore the house down. There was a genius moment when after some really incrediable hip-hop trickery Mark said "they could do with turning it up a notch"
45mins later the place was going absolutly crazy to some rough drum and bass OH YES OH YES and for the second time in as many weeks i felt like i couldnt physically dance hard enough to do the music justice.

yeah so anyway... my hip has been not too good most of the summer, and i had been taking stronger tablets twice a day for a good while but this week i cut it to one a day and am feeling great so hopefully in a couple of weeks i will be back to normal Praise the Lord

take it easy
