I also wanted to show everyone where I go to school! Here are a few random shots from around UCC's campus...
This is the Quad, which is probably the prettiest part of UCC. If you ever visit, walk around the edges--if you cut through the grass, they know you're not Irish!

The O'Rahilly Building. I have one day of my European Studies class here. Apparently there is also a Starbucks hidden in here somewhere...
The chapel.
Once again, everything is in Irish and English. This sign was a good friend on mine while I wandered around campus for the first week (okay, first TWO weeks). Behind it is the Kane Building, a science building where I have a lot of English, history, and Celtic Civilisation classes (go figure!).
To the side of the Kane Building is a memorial (and burial place) of 13 members of the IRA. The dedication says that they were executed by British firing squads in the Cork Military Barracks in 1921 and buried in this spot, which used to be a part of the exercise yard of the Cork County Jail. Just last night there was a memorial ceremony here for them.
