It was about 3 in the morning (or at least that was the way we felt) and we were surrounded by gallivanting geriatrics, excited about their first trip to Ireland. We were in the line for immigration and after having waited for about an hour or so, I was starting to get the feeling that we would never escape the purgatory we had just entered. When the immigration officer gingerly waived his hand to have me come up to the counter, I put on my best smile and said hello. He didn't look at me. This wasn't going well. He asked me until when I was here and I said until December. He asked me whether it was for a study abroad trip and I wanted to reply by asking him whether it was my badly shaven face or the just the wild look in my eyes that tipped him off. In either case, an obligatory stamp later and I officially stepped into Ireland for the first time.
