Hallmates and Birds... Both Equally Awful

So the gang stayed up pretty late last night, for us.  I was up until 1:00 am (but only had 2 pints!).  I was hoping to sleep in, but much to my chagrin, was awoken by horrid squawking. The birds here are horribly noisy in the morning and do not have a cheerful chirp in the least.  It's more like a death knell.  Also horribly loud in the morning (and every other time of day) are our hall mates.  For whatever reason, they seem to feel the need to shout to each other down the hall (in Chinese?).  So, I guess I'm either going to have to go to bed earlier or drink more so I'm more soundly asleep through the morning :)

Off to the city centre today!  I'm very excited to see Dublin closer than through the bus window and to do some shopping.  Cheers!
