Exploring the classical world and half of Dublin
I had my first tutorial today, for my latest course, Exploring the Classical World. The tutorial was most enjoyable and unlike my last course I did not feel that my day had been wasted, quite the opposite.
The one thing that still gets me is why the hell does Dublin not have sign posts directing you to the various areas / boroughs within it? I mean if you are in London you you will see sign posts for Clapham, Chelsea, Battersea or where ever (spot the South Londoner). The same is true in Galway, Paris and I presume (not being that widely travelled) all over. Get some bloody road signs Dublin. I was saved by using google maps and a third party app called Locate Me on the iPhone, not quite GPS but it did the job.
I was really happy to find out that I did know quite a bit about the works of Homer. Why this is a surprise to me you may wonder (as in if I know, why do I not know, I know, you know?) well sometimes it is only when you sit in a room of people with a similar interest or focus and discuss something, that you realise that you have quite a good grasp of the subject.
So happy day (6 hours driving for 2 hours of turorial) then home to bugger up the iPhone with an update, still soring that one so night, night.
