Riverdance!!!

Yesterday was amazing! I woke up and went to class, which was probably more boring than any other class ever. We watched a film version of Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, by James Joyce, and it was awful. Just absolutely terrible. But later that day I went and got a ticket to Riverdance!!!!  The show was at 7:30, and we all bought the cheapest tickets, which were 25 euro, and the absolute last row in the entire theater. But once it was 7:25, and there were quite a few rows ahead of us with nobody in them, the ushers came up to us and told us we could move up to any other seat in the upper circle, so we got to sit in 40 euro seats, even though we only bought 25 euro seats. I would have been really mad if I was one of those people who paid 40 euro though. The show was amazing! The main guy and girl in the show were both fantastic, and it did deviate a bit from the original, but it was still really good. By the time it was over it was already 9:30, so we headed back to trinity to get ready to go out that night. We only went to two different places that night, we started at the Quays on Abbey Street, and then moved on to another bar down the street with a bit of a younger crowd. Today I finally did some laundry, and tonight we’re going to a play on campus, so I’ll have more about that tomorrow. Cheers!
 Yay pictures!! I couldn't take any during the show, but here are some of the theater:
It was called The Gaiety Theatre

This was the view from our original seats. See those seats about 5 rows
down? That's where we actually sat :)

That was a really pretty chandelier that lit the whole room. I liked it,
so I took a picture of it
