Rainy Day

Just another normal day at school. It was raining more today, so I guess it is the end of our beautiful weather. Last night we planned out our trip to Galway. Staying in two different hostels. One in Galway and one in the Aran islands. Both Jeanine and I will feel complete after this adventure. We are so excited!
Signed up to join rugby today! haha, don't really know what I was thinking.... I just like to try everything! Made breakfast for dinner with Jeanine. Yummy French toast, eggs and some new Irish (very salty) bacon. Had a few digestives...lol. Irish cookies that were actually really good. At least these chocolate kind. About to go to sleep. Tomorrow is a veryyyy long day! St James hospital, then a meeting with the Dean of International Affairs from Purdue with our Dean here, then dinner at the boys in Dundrum, and then party with our Irish students!! :) Soooo excited about that!

Second week of school - Monday

I hate Mondays. Walked my usual 3 miles to class at St. James Hospital. Jeanine and I left earlier today so we wouldn't have to power walk to class and get there looking all sweaty and disheveled. We had time to stop in for coffee and actually ran into Brid-Ann Ryan, our Dean woman. She mentioned meeting up with a Dean from International affairs from Purdue. We then headed back on our trek to St. James.
My highlight of the school day was getting some Starbucks coffee from the little cafe place next door in a really old building. We made our powerpoint for the undergraduate meeting. It is awesome except for my small fib in the beginning.... Had a new teacher tell us about our school and how he read about Neil Armstrong because he is from Purdue... Came back home. Feasted on raw veggies and pasta. Then we are currently planning our trip to Galway and the Aran Islands for October 11. My life will be complete after going!! I am going to get very little sleep because I want to see it all!! I hope it is all I expected and more!

The rest of the churchday

Okay, so not much too interesting happened the other day. Wrote some postcards, put them in the mailbox. So let me know when you get them!!! :) We watched the movie 10 things I hate about you. Great movie. I had never seen it before.

Churchday

Today we went to church. It is just a block away. I went with Adam and Kayleen. I was suprised that quite a few people wore jeans to church. There was also an unnatural amount of children there. We found out later that they were starting to get ready for their First Communion, so that explains it. I've also never seen so many little children having temper tantrums while the parents just chilled right there in church, or anywhere for that matter. It was a chaotic scene. But the music was so lovely and the kids were singing the songs, so otherwise it was very enjoyable, especially in such a gorgeous building.
I went to Tesco afterwards with the hope of finding some Greek yogurt. I have heard about it but have never tried it. I did not find it. I did find many other items as well as some delicious baked bread items. :) I came back and went on the computer, talked to some people, and am chilling now. I really want to go outside and hike or explore some where because the weather is sooo nice! Even though we walked 10 miles yesterday, I can't seem to get enough of it! I hear it is rarely sunny here and it is very sunny and warm at the moment. I do not like wasting such beautiful days! Well, that is all that I have for now, since this is my first post!
