Oliver, Oliver...

Huzzah!! The interwebs are back online. It's 10:00 pm here on Sunday. The Super Bowl starts back home soon (prediction: the Pats are going to spank the Giants, and I'm going to miss all the fun movie previews because I'm not going to Eamon's house to stay up really late and watch the massacre). A quick recap of my Saturday and today:

Yesterday morning I woke up early to do homework, and witnessed the first really intense rain storm we've had while here -- even the locals have noticed how much sun/not rain we've had. Until yesterday and today, of course. But it was cool to be inside watching it sheet in sideways...

Our ticket to see the musical!! The high school, or 'college', put on a great show...

Kyle, Calla, Eric, Taylor, Brittnie, Katie M, and Bailey, all somehow in one picture, at the play :D

The stage. I was disappointed that I couldn't get a very good picture of the set, because it was really cool and moved a lot more than most shows I've seen, and it was a young show too! A majority of the actors were 12-17, except for a few adults and returning students.

One of the beginning scenes, with my favorite song 'It's Your Funeral' -- very clever and well-sung (describes the entire show, really). Oliver's actor was also the cutest thing I've seen ever, and I don't have a non-blurry picture of him :(

Oliver, The Artful Dodger (Bailey's favorite character), and the chorus singing 'Consider Yourself'

The entire cast, at the end of the show, coming out for a rendition of 'Consider Yourself' -- they all came out to take a bow and sing, then the principle read off some thank-yous (a very personal touch, I thought) and they all sang again before the show officially ended :)

The highlight of today -- going to the Red Rose Cafe with Brittnie, Bailey, me, Katie M, Katie K (taking the picture) and Colleen (not pictured). We had a nice lunch, then crossed the street to Joe Mac's to watch Ireland just barely lose to Wales in Six Nations. So sad. But we had fun being there :)

 So that's that! This week's posts will probably be smaller until Friday, when we leave for our 3-day Galway trip!
