    Pro: Went to see Paris (film) with my German friends who are leaving this weekend, it was really good and sweet, with a nice mix of love stories and quick glimpses of people's lives. Was in Paris (city) yesterday having a pleasantly random romantic afternoon stroll with a Greek girl I met on the bus there at 8am.
    Saw various places I'd passed and visited in event B while watching film A. 'twas cool.

    Cons: Popcorn was sweet, not salted, I can no longer sleep before 4am due to boards/misc internet crap and my wrists hurt from low chair/bulky laptop combination. I'm quite far behind on various letters/projects I need to do (neaaarly finished, Pretty*Monster :p:p) and college starts back on Monday.. I also need to pick my courses...

    Doubly CON: The roads in UCD SUCK BALLS!!! It's like driving through a warzone at times.
    Also anybody else hate the little road going from the Law building to the gravel car park? There's 2 ramps on it and they shatter my car to its core every time I go over them, no matter how slow. It's gonna end up damaging the wheels at some point and then I'll be very upset........ and litigious! That poxy raised manhole cover is another obstacle that needs to be avoided.
