languages classes

dia duit (god be with you,) conas atá tú (how are you?)

i promised myself after taking latin for an ungodly amount of years that i wouldn't take too many languages classes again. however, that's not working out so well... i'm enrolled in both old and irish here in cork. i actually really like the modern language, and i'm trying to practice while here.

as for old irish (the language spoken from c. 400-800ish,) it serves as the only redeeming quality for having taken so many years of latin. i know my grammar. poor Ifer, my roommate, has no grammatical experience and is swimming in nominatives and accusatives, genitives and datives.

in any case, i'm sitting between classes on Ifer's computer waiting to go home and take a power nap before hitting the clubs tonight. i like the scene around corcaigh (cork,) and thursday nights shall henceforth hold a special place in my heart. by this i mean it's students' night.

slán,
chris
