First Day of Classes...They talk too fast

Last night Kelsea, Emily and I decided to go out to see some pubs in town. We went to the Franciscan Well Pub, just across the river from us, and it turned out to be pretty good. They brew their own beers, so that was pretty cool. I suppose it would have been cooler if I actually liked beer...But oh well. I tried a Bulmer's Irish Cider, which wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be...Kind of just tasted like beer. We met 4 other girls from America there, and we all decided to go try to find one more pub before they closed (pubs here close at 11:30). We finally found this little place in City Centre. It was down an alley...Which looked kind of sketchy at first, but it turned out to be a pretty cool place, and the alley had a mural that was pretty cool.



I got up pretty early this morning, and we walked over to the Hogwarts building to get our student ID cards...First of all, it's been unusually cold here, so all of the sidewalks are super icy, so that kind of sucked. Kelsea almost slipped and fell, and Erin did some kind of weird splits type thing...It was special. ANYWAY. I got my ID card, which I have to have in order to even get into the library, and then we all went down to the main street so that people could get cell phones, and then back to the school for our first class. The 4 of us from my apartment are all taking Aspects of Irish Folkore. We only had lecture for about 20 minutes today, but it was pretty interesting. The teacher talks really fast though. I also got my Irish bank account open! Yay! For some reason, I find this really exciting. I'm not sure why.
Anyway, we took a different route home today, and I got to see the Cork City Court House. It's pretty cool looking.



Anyway, I have my second class tonight at 6. Intro to Irish History for Visiting Students. It's in some building off campus that I'm not sure how to get to. Thank god one of my roomates and some other people have that same class so I can walk with them.
