Registration = Exhausted Kate

I'm now an official student at UCC! Again, according to their database, since they still have record of my old student number from when I studied abroad. So now I have a completely different start to my student ID number than everybody else...I really am special, apparently. :P

Registration was such a boring process, though. I got there around 10:15 and after a half-hour of queuing, I finally was able to get into the room where registration took place. Then, I had to queue three more times (actual registration, fees, ID card).

I still have no clue which classes (or modules, as they call them) I'm in. Nor when they meet. I really hope that meeting with my advisor for our first class meeting will clear all of that up.

After all that "fun," I decided to do something low key. So I went to the Crawford Art Gallery. It's a neat gallery -- Irish artists, largely modern art (or, at least, mostly art from the past century). They also had a whole room dedicated to plaster copies of Greek and Roman sculpture...mixed, of course, with a couple of original Irish plaster and marble sculptures.
I think the main thing that bugged me about the museum was the floor plan; it was slightly confusing -- if only they had maps! But the art work was really interesting.

Also, there is a slight mystery bothering me. The bells of Finbarre's go off every Wednesday night for an hour or two in 10-15 minute intervals. It's very annoying because: a) neither my roomie or I know why they go off, b) they're extremely loud and bounce off all the walls around here, and c) they last so long. So, my new mission is to figure this out. It's always fun to have a mystery to solve. :)
