First Day of Classes

The first day of classes was today... and i actually enjoyed going to both of them. They were for my earth science class but the cool thing about this class is we actually get to go out into Ireland and look at things first hand and see how they relate to earth science. Its something that interests me so it should be a good class. Friday we are taking a trip to Marble Arch Caves in Northern Ireland (which is a separate country) with my class. It should be really neat to see! Pictures will follow. I'm feeling more adjusted now which is great even though this past week has felt like one of the longest of my life I am loving Dublin so far and we are actually starting to plan out all our other European trips so lots more adventures are to come =)

Second Day in Ireland.. I'm still in one piece!


Well its my second day here and lets say its anything short of boring. Today me and my friends decided to take a trip to Ikea (to get some organization stuff for our appt) anyways it was a 5hr journey total but it was a great first full day in Ireland experience. Everyone here is so nice which seems like its a trend in most European communities. Riding the bus was definitely neat they have double decker buses here so I got to sit on the top and see everything from a whole new perspective. We ate a meal at Ikea and i had mashed potatoes to get in the Ireland spirit since yesterday we ate at an american like place called Eddie Rockets ( I do not know if there is any relation to johnny) but we made it back at 9pm and now it is close to 2am here and I'm still not tired I guess time change can do that to ya. I have orientation for the next three days so expect something new on Sunday. Goodnight everyone.
