hello all! So this will serve as a journal for me and updates on me for you! or ye as they say here. ps that date in the title is how they say it here. Yesterday was rough for sure. I don't have internet in my room yet. Very few places are open on weekend esp sundays. So I have to wait till tomorrow to get it fixed.
Yesterday I hung out with two girls in the program(Amy and Karry). We didnt do much. We walked the very long walk(about a mile each way) to the mall which is where we got bedding and then a second time to get food the grocery store is also in the mall. Ps carrying groceries for a mile makes you not want to buy as much! :)
Today we got up and walked to campus to explore it is really pretty but way small compared to K-state. We met a guy named Richard he was probably in his late 60's and was walking his dog Ginger. He talked on and on about her it was really cute! He even had a picture someone took of her when she was a pup(the name for dogs here) in his coat pocket and pulled it out the way a guy would picture of his kids in his wallet. It was a ton of fun talking to him. We came back to our appartments because we were starving and had lunch(for the last two meals thats just been pb&j lol meal of champions).
Then we had a meeting at 2 with our api helper Claire. She talked about a ton of random stuff then walked us around campus again. Then we went into town and it was amazing! Little shops everywhere all different colors. They all play american music which is a weird feeling to hear. She took us to the main cathedral for Cork and it was super pretty but seemed a lot like ones I've seen before. Then I stoped to take a picture and actually got separated from the group. I had a momentary freak out but was able to call Claires phone and she found me haha. Then we went to eat at a little place called amecas or something like that I didn't pay much attention because it was right after I got separated. It was pretty tasty but seemed fairly normal. I got a ham and cheese panini with a baked potato and apple pie. I can't get Dr.p here because most people have not even heard of it...sad day so I had a diet coke..not the best but killed the caffeene withdrawl. Then we walked back home a very long walk and now are just taking it easy. Thats my day in a nutshell, it was much much better than yesterday. I'll write again tomorrow!
ps if there are spelling or typing errors I'm sorry the keyboard is a little differnt and the backspace button is not working.and they time it says it posted is probably not correct it is 8:40pm here

Hey you, Daddio here. Glad to hear you are settling in. One day at a time. I'm sure if you look around there is a local beverage similar to DP. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteI was watching 'PS, I love you' yesterday and got curious about Wicklow national Park. It's actually quite close to you, just a bit north and east. A nice day trip I'm guessing. Enjoy.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, PB&J. Now that brings back college memories.......:). Take care, chat soon.
