another day, another irregular verb

this whole "speaking irish" thing sure takes a lot out of you. we started with irregular verbs today. gross. fortunately there are only eleven of them, but still, they're not much fun. we went in to galway yesterday, and I bought a nice wool sweater, which I'm definitely going to need this year. I also got a cheap alarm clock and laundry bag. I tried to get my camera fixed, but the guy at the shop was no help whatsoever. He told me to send it back to olympus to get it fixed. I've had that camera for two-and-a-half years; any warantee I may have had has definitely run out. I'm going to try a few things to try to get it working, but if I can't fix it, I'm going to have to get a new one. gah.
we're going on a tour of connemara on saturday, and if the weather is good enough next week, we'll be going to the Aran Islands. Only one of them, actually, but you get the point.
I've been thinking about everyone at home and in california or washington or south carolina or whatever, and I wish I could upload some pictures, but the computers here are a touch on the slow side.
