Met my TD last week. Brian Hayes from the Fine Gael party, a representative for Dublin South West. Spokesperson for Education. Fine Gael is the main opposition party. Whispers in the air predicting their rise to power in the next elections, 2012.
Today, first day. Deputy Hayes has an assistant, also named Brian. Brian has his own office. A rarity in the Oireachtas as I understand. I am probably working most with Brian. Brian is like my tour guide. Brian is 25 and fun. There's a tv on the desk Brian and I share in his office. Brian watches Oprah and Ellen in the afternoons sometimes. Brian is a self-admitted Ellen addict. Brian is my new BFF.
Classes...classes are a struggle. 3 on Monday, 2 on Wednesday. 90 minutes each. all in the same room. different lecturers, but they dont communicate with each other. Obviously there's overlap between Irish history, culture, laws and literature, but at this point, we've had full on duplicate lectures. Some of the other students seem to be struggling for a basic grasp on knowledge about how things work.
Sometimes its a full on battle for focus.
it rages on tomorrow.
