Yesterday, we did quite a bit. I had 3 classes, which wasn' that bad considering I was out by 2. Then Emily and I went grocery shopping, and got a little lost on the way back to the apartment. But that's ok. That's how you learn how to get around in a new place. After that, Erin, David, Melanie, Corrie, Kelsea and I went down to town to look around at some stores, get some coffee. Then we went to an Irish Cultural Night put on by the campus church. It was pretty cool, but really packed. They fed us Irish stew. Really good. However, the paper bowls that they gave us, kind of melted into plates...And I kind of spilt stew all over my pants...It was lovely.

Kelsea, me, Emily and Erin. My roomates!
After we left the dinner, the 9 of us walked back home, and did a little pre-gaming before going out to the pubs.
The first place we hit was the Franciscan Well, right across the river from our apartments.
Noah, Melanie, David, Kristen and me at the Franciscan.
After staying there until they closed at 11:30, we headed out to a club called The Brogue, where we stayed until 2. It was really fun, but Irish students get pretty crazy.
Today, Emily, Kelsea and I went out to town to take care of some school stuff and eat. We picked the most American place we probably could have...Eddie Rockets. Yay for 50's diners. Haha. Then we came back, fell asleep for a while, and were woken up by Corrie, needing to use a phone to order pizza. Which is what we had for dinner. Domino's pizza...Another American meal.
Tomorrow, we're all going to Blarney to see the castle and the Blarney Stone, it should be pretty fun. I'll have lots of pictures.
It sounds like you are settling in nicely. That is great that you can travel around in a pack and experience the culture first hand. How is the homework? We love you tons and eagerly look forward to following your adventures. btw - as far as slang goes, make sure you do NOT ask anyone if they want a 'ride' (that requires you to take all your clothes off:) Love ya! Aunt Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhere are the "lots of pictures" from Blarney?
ReplyDeleteYou have a facebook Mom...They're on there. I can't put a bunch of pictures on here, it takes about 5 minutes for each picture to upload.
