Mini School Update & Cobh Photos

Not much has been happening here. I've sort of been relaxing and, mostly, trying to save money for doing bigger things later. Like the Post Graduate Ball -- which should be fabulous as most of my class is going -- & then just over a week later I'll be headed for England (again) to see the TU Wind Ensemble -- I'm getting ridiculously excited about this. And then it's St Pat's day...and clearly, as I'm in Ireland, it's bound to be a big day. :)

In academic news, I have to give a presentation in two weeks over the research I've done thus far. Needless to say, I'm going to be buried in books -- & notes about those books -- by the end of it. I hope that I'll be able to climb my way out of such a pile.

Now for something happier...here are some pictures from Sarah's visit -- when we traveled the whole 30 mins around to Cobh. And got our exercise climbing the massive, massive hill that the town sits on.

St. Coleman's Cathedral -- they have beautiful sounding bells.

Me with the "skyline" of Cobh.

Beware! I have a cannon...& I'm not afraid to use it!

From the "Prom" -- a band stand & the gorgeous view of Cork Harbour.

Which way do I live? -- That way! ... aka: Token tourist picture with the Annie Moore statue.
