Don't drink the water

Today we had another delicious "family dinner" with the girls from upstairs. We had homemade macaroni and cheese, chicken fingers, and steamed veggies. It was, in my opinion, our best yet. We've decided that next week is going to be taco night...I'm already excited. After dinner, we were planning to watch the season 4 finale of Grey's Anatomy at 9:00 only to find out that it was not on until 10:00. So, we sat around and watched Vault Classic, a music video channel that usually has hits from the 1990's (we love it). At 10:00 we successfully watched Grey's Anatomy and a good time was had by all.

After Grey's, the news came on and the lead story was that the water in Galway is contaminated. Fantastic. Apparently, parts of the city are getting water that is full of lead and it cannot be boiled away. Even more fantastic. We're supposed to have been contacted if our supply is among those to be worried about, but our landlord is so strange that it seems unlikely he would inform us. My Villanova roommate is calling as I type. Even if our area is not affected, I still intend to drink only bottled water and juice for the next few days.

Update: I personally spoke to Oliver. He told me that there is nothing to worry about, that it is only the old parts of the city that are affected, and that if anything should come up I will be the first to know. I may or may not have woken him up to bother him about this, so it's a good thing he does not actually know who I am. (Though I still would like to be at the top of the list to notify when anything goes wrong.)

I only have one class tomorrow but it's a drag: Philosophy of Art and Literature. Ugh, it's the only class I really don't like. Better get to bed, though, it's at 9:00 which is early in Ireland. The city doesn't get moving until 10:00 or 11:00.
