Mission(s) Accomplished!

Friday was a whirlwind of activity.  Aside from the fact that it was the closing day of the first week of classes, those of us taking courses at the European Business School (EBS) were inducted into the program and taken on a tour of their facilities at 10AM.  It was here that I found two things I've been looking for since I got to Dublin:  

1. An outlet for playing football

2. A solitary place to read/study

EBS organizes football trails in early October to select up to 18 players for their school team that competes around Dublin throughout the year. This excites me because not only will I get a chance to play football in another country, but due to the fact the team will be made up of EBS students - an internationally varied bunch to say the least - I will be playing with guys from Germany, Italy, France, and Latvia at the same time.  Now all I need to do is find a ball so I can maintain my touch...

The second thing EBS provides is a state-of-the-art library for all things academic.  As some may know, I'm an avid patron of the Herman B. Wells library in Bloomington and have been missing it for some time now.  So having this available is like having a second home here in Dublin.  It also came at the perfect time as a couple days ago I went on a personal search for a public library that produced ZERO results.

Time for breakfast.
