I actually only have on final on May 9th. Instead of exams, the rest of my classes had final projects and papers, all due today! So, I only have on class to worry about for the next couple weeks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This weekend, amidst my final grind to get the three papers due to today done, I went to my first rugby game! It was Munster (where Limerick is) against Ulster. Munster won 41 to 14!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"435\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-field.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"936\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"437\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score-936x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score-936x1024.jpg 936w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score-274x300.jpg 274w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score-768x840.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score-1404x1536.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-score.jpg 1802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"436\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-group.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also just so happened to be recording when they got their first points!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"720\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 720 \/ 720;\" width=\"720\" controls src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Rugby-try-video-small.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was pretty fun, although I think it may have been a bit more entertaining if I actually knew what was going on \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile is-image-fill-element\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/UL-spring-blossoms-Large-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-439 size-full\" style=\"object-position:50% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/UL-spring-blossoms-Large-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/UL-spring-blossoms-Large-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/UL-spring-blossoms-Large-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.lindners.me\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/UL-spring-blossoms-Large.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was gorgeous weather to sit outside and enjoy the game though!
