Quinn School Study Louge, UCD, Dublin
3:52 p.m.
I know I know I owe you a post for the second half of "The Harveys come to Ireland", but that will have to wait for now. I've gotten about 7 hours of sleep since I woke up early Tuesday morning, but the end is in sight. I have a group paper due on Monday that has been taking up most (see: all minus meals and biking back and forth to the library) of my time, but hopefully it will be finished by some reasonable time on Sunday evening. But probably not.
I have a group meeting in 6 minutes, but I thought it was supposed to be at 3:00. It was nice to have the feeling of an "extra" hour as opposed to that "what the heck what happened to the last six hours" feeling I've had all week. After 50 minutes of editing attempted English sentences, I decided to give myself a ten minute break and do a quick update - just a few little news and notes things. My apologies if it's not polished.
For Thanksgiving a bunch of the kids in the program went out to TGI Fridays through some sponsored thing where we only had to pay 5 euros for a meal. We had chicken and mashed potatoes. That's all I have to say about that.
Ashley is cooking a Thanksgiving dinner (she even found a turkey!) for Red Sox Nation, Dublin on Saturday afternoon (tomorrow). If I can't go because of this stupid paper I am going to cause serious harm to people and/or objects. If I can make it, it should be a great time.
Arndt is in town. Depending on how things go at this group meeting, I might try to meet him for a soda pop in the city really quick before I go back to work. Another wild Friday night in Dublin (hey at least I haven't spent much money this week!).
I have my Irish history final exam on Tuesday. So that means as soon as I finish this paper I will start in on that. Our prof gave us a pretty good outline of what she will most likely ask, though, so it shouldn't be too hard.
Wednesday is my last day of classes. After that I am off until the rest of my exams, which are on Dec 11, 12, 17, and 18. Kevin and Len are coming to visit from the 20th to the 22nd, and I fly home on the 24th.
Okay, group's starting to show up. Look for more next week after I finish my exam and get about 20 hours of sleep.
Later.

Please Joe tell me this wasn't you!
DUBLIN, Ireland—Irish police were hunting for a beer bandit who stole 450 full kegs from the Guinness brewery -- the largest heist ever at Ireland's largest brewer.

National police said a lone man drove into the brewery -- a Dublin landmark and top tourist attraction -- on Wednesday and hitched his bicyle to a fully loaded trailer awaiting delivery to city pubs.
Police declined to say whether the theft had been captured by closed-circuit surveillance cameras. But did say that the theft was wearing a hat with a red "B" on it.
