As much as I love being an elitist Ivy Leaguer...
My classes are HARD.
Well, not hard hard. Just intensive. And I don't have that much time in my day.
But, for fun, I shall write briefly in Gaelic to show off my sweet skills (also, I'm going to be dribbling in gaelic here and there for practice. Deal with it):
Cad é mar atá tu? Tá mé an-tiersach. Tá mé i mo chónaí i mBoston. Tá scéal agam maith!
Ready?
Cause it's awesome news.
I'm working on a Senate campaign! WOO! Tá, I have very little time for it. But it's going to be iontach go breá anyway. I'm supporting current Attorney General Martha Coakley for senator for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. 'Bout time we had a female senator. I guess that's the absolute only good thing that can possibly ever come from poor Teddy being gone.
Anyways, I must get sleep, for as I said, I'm rather tired. But it's nice and chilly here, and I have the introduction of my paper written, so I believe a nice cup of hot chocolate is in order.
Slán anois!

Just 'cause I'm curious, I want translations when you sprinkle stuff in! I love that you do it, and I know it's good practice for you, but I want to learn. Though I know I can't be figuring out the pronunciation correctly.

yeah, don't try and do ANYTHING phonetically. Most don't make any sense to english-speaking-ears. I just accept the pronunciations I'm told.
I'll translate in footnotes in the future.

I got the "go brah'" part--as in "Erin go brah'! even if I can't type it right or say it properly! I think you learning the Irish is just grand! I also think you will have a great experience on the campaign. [Even tho as I type this it is actually over! I wonder how your candidate did, but not enough to check. I need to go to sleep. Roofers bang loudly and early!
