The first week is over – I can’t really believe it. Someways, it feels like I’ve been here forever… Others, it seems like only a few hours. I’m still not sleeping quite properly, but I’m managing all the same. Technology is great – Colm & I have done a bit of webconferencing, and Skype has enabled several long phonecalls home.
I’ve done all the official stuff now – thank God it’s all done, at least for now! I’ve started to get a timetable together – it’s a bit annoying, because although intradepartmental stuff seems well organised (allowing you to do several courses), interdepartmentally there doesn’t seem to be anything – so everything clashes 
Ahh, I’ll sort it out in the end!
Went to a lovely concert tonight – Kathleen Loughnane, with her son & nephew. Was great to hear some Irish music, and just go out and do something 
Absolutely wrecked now tho, so going to sleep G’night all!
