I've been so busy I haven't even had time to start this! Where do I even begin? Nothing too exciting has happened...yet. I'll just start off with what I've been doing the past few days.
The flight over was good, but I was more than tired when we
landed. I could only get a two hour nap in before we had to go do all sorts of stuff. Orientation was real boring, but I didn't really expect anything too exciting. Exploring Dublin was fun, we all took a bus tour and made sure to stop off at the Guinness Storehouse. It w
as like Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory for adults! Overall I enjoyed Dublin, but everything was so expensive and it didn't feel much different from Boston, I could not wait to get to Galway!
I finally got here yesterday, and loved it instantly. Our apartments are gorgeous, except there's one problem...COLD! Apparently the Irish don't like to use heat, so I'm dying over here. My roommate and I still haven't met our other Irish roommate, but it doesn't seem like he'll be getting here until Sunday.
Last night we went to the King's Head Pub for dinner and drinks, and it was a blast! Almost everyone in the Arcadia program came out, and the band was playing American songs all night. I special requested Sweet Caroline , and we all sang along. Galway was full of Americans because none of the Irish students are getting here until Sunday, and classes begin on Monday.
Today was more orientation, and was even more boring. I finally found Mary, and was banging on her door at 1:30AM last night. I was lucky she was up! Today we walked through Galway Center, and got a feel for the place. It's such a cute little town, and I can't wait to try out every pub and sandwich shop!
We're heading back into town tonight to try out a new place, and hopefully find somewhere with some Irish music. I'll try to update this thing a lot, but who knows how I'll do. I never can keep up with stuff like this. Hopefully I'll have some better, more exciting stories to tell!
