Yeah, I could be trying harder, I suppose... It just seems like such work tho, lol. Meh, after Christmas there'll be still enough time to get my act together. Not the most ambitious of self expectations, but.. Bleah, school is school. And.. Yeah.
Yes, Dublin is a tourist trap, lol. Although Ireland in general was full of foreigners (I'm one to talk) until the recession hit, now they're all gone because the jobs they came for in the first place no longer exist.
Oh, tell me about it! My sister started College this year, the amount of grants and loans and $hit is unreal! I mightn't actually go straight to college, in order to save up, and get old enough, lol. (it's pretty common here to take a year out and do something else, before applying to college. There's courses and stuff that are pretty good to give you a head start when you do start college, so there's no disadvantages, really. That may make me sound like a waster, but.. Well, I'm not, I'm just young, lol:D).
Lol, smart girlfriends ftw. Although I don't have one. I nearly did, but messed up D: gaaah the pain of my raw harsh memories! Lol:), totally jk.
