In an effort to get in touch with my (perhaps more distant than I'm willing to admit) Celtic heritage, I'm trying to learn some Irish Gaelic in a project for my AP Brit Lit class. On the way, I'll teach you, my devoted and limited audience, a few terms, and maybe a bit of culture or history here and there. Slainte!

Holy Stress, Batman!
As with most things during senior year, this week has been a lot of juggling projects, studying, and social life, but I think I'm through the worst of it now! I appreciate all the comments, and will respond to them more fully at a later date. I've done some unconscious work on my Gaelic this week, thinking some of the more uncivilized words I've learned numerous times this week. However, to try to break the blunt impression my teacher has of me, this week's lesson won't be those words, but instead BuĂochas le Dia (bweeahhkus lay deeyah), which, though difficultly, means "Thank God!" or "Thanks to God!". Slainte!
