WIT is It (Oh My, What a WIT)



Mercyhurst Students in the WIT Irish Language Class







 


Good lads studying in the WIT Library



We had our first look at WIT (Waterford Institute of Technology) yesterday. All the students got WIT cards and now have library privileges, access to the health center, student center, and the run of the campus. WIT is a very new, clean, and safe place. This is yet another outcome of the Celtic Tiger. The buildings are beautiful, state-of-the-art structures. I think we will feel quite comfortable there.

The students also were able to meet a student government representative, get introduced to GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) sports, and meet their teacher for the Irish Language course. Last night my class watched Waking Ned Devine. I thought asking us to do much reading after the long days they had been putting in might have been a bit much. The film was the way to go. This morning we will be looking at the first text, Castle Rackrent by Maria Edgeworth. Yes. I think now things may settle down a bit.



Ok lads.....shouldn't you be in the library?
