So this past weekend, a few of us Victory Scholars reunited and it felt soo good! The National Cup was Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so it was a big couple of days for the basketball world out here in Ireland. It took place at the National Basketball Arena in Tallaght which was handy because Dublin is pretty much central to all the Victory Scholars. So with weeks in advance of planning, Lace and I met up with JB and Jasmine and stayed at the dorms at DCU (which are really nice!). After kitten club on Saturday morning, we grabbed our Granville meal to-go and hopped on the next bus to Dublin. We made it to the dorm around 6pm and seeing my girls was the biggest breath of fresh air! We ordered pizza and just talked, laughed, and hung out for a couple of hours before we would get dressed for a night on the town. Dublin is such a beautiful place and the nightlife is incredible. We ended up going to Copper Face Jacks, which is a pretty famous club in Ireland, and all I can say is that it was definitely a night we will never forget. Sunday morning we woke up and found our way to the arena to watch the women’s games and it was very exciting and quite the experience to witness basketball on the big stage. After watching the two games, it was about that time to say our sorrowful goodbyes (yes, we are always dramatic). The whole drive back to Waterford, Lace and I just laughed and talked about what a great “craic” it was to get away for the weekend. I’m missing those girls already!
