It was the most beautiful day today in Dublin- It’s hard for me to even put it into words. The main thing is the score, which now is: Lauren: 6 | Umbrella: 0
4 Things About Today:
1. Bright blue skies, loads of sunshine, crisp air and beautiful cold grey green stone.
2. Dublin sidewalks are filled with trap doors and glass brick skylights- today I saw a restaurant receiving a supply delivery through their trap door into a basement kitchen. I think there is a whole other city underground.
3. Hanging out in the Media department with my soon-to be friends, now classmates. Talking about making cocktails and going to Amsterdam.
4. A lecture given by the head of media. All the students call him daddy. He showed us video from his trip to Antarctica and photos of penguins. He is organizing an artists’ trip there next Christmas. Only 6 grand for two weeks!(Free Parka)
Tomorrow I will venture out to a luggage shop in hopes of replacing my poor busted suitcase. Lufthansa has a deal where you bring the broken suitcase to a certain shop and exchange it for a new one. Sounds good to me!
Please Enjoy these photos of my new home, NCAD. The school used to be a distillery, which is where they make whiskey- but now it is home to a lot of generally hungover art students. A nice balance, I think.
