This Thursday I will not be on a midnight train to Georgia (sorry Gladys), but I will be on a midday plane to Newark, then to the rolling greens of Ire. Ireland. I am going to Ireland this Thursday. Am I excited? You bet. Though there have been quite a few murders in recent news, particularly right around the area where my kr3w is going to be posted up at, I feel invincible, so there are no qualms within my soul. The greatest thing about this trip though, seriously, is that I am able to go with a class here at BW. It is a relatively new class call Ireland and South Africa: Finding Peace and Reconciliation. Sure it’s a mouthful. All the best are. It’s moderated and taught by the fine, Dr. Susan Oldrieve, and the rambunctious, Dr. Herbert Marshal, the class entails the best in Irish history and Irish music. Every time I enter the classroom with these two, knowledge is gained. I would highly suggest this class to anyone who enjoys Irish Culture, which also means anyone who enjoys blood and an enduring Hubris. The music has been fantastic, too.
