Yesterday I went to my favorite Saturday market with my roommate Miranda, and got the most delicious crepe! It was ham and cheese with sun dried tomato, pesto and dijon mustard.... so good! Instead of buying my usual hummus I decided to buy some brie cheese, and that was a great call! I got crackers at the supermarket and am in heaven! Unfortunately, I have found my new addiction. I also decided that I need to start rationing out my souvenir purchasing so I don't wait until the last minute and have to buy a million things at once, spending all my money on the last few weeks I'm here. One thing I definitely decided to get is a painting from a man at the market. He has a ton of different ones, all of places around Galway. They're only 25 Euro, and come with a colorful wooden frame he made. The only issue is I need to decide between a painting of the Claddagh at night or a picture of a few pubs on Quay St. The one of the Claddagh is definitely prettier, but the one of the pubs is nice because it's places I spend time at in Galway, like Taaffe's and the King's Head. I'll have to think it over and get some second opinions.
The family is coming in two days!!! I'm very excited to see them and show them around! I know they're going to love it! I'm so excited to show them all my favorite places to go, from the Quay's and Taaffe's to my favorite little coffee shop, Cafe Luna. I have a Connemara day trip planned, which should be a lot of fun. We're also going to Doolin Saturday night, and after Easter mass we're going to go see the Cliffs of Moher. I'm pumped!
This week is my last week of classes. I also already handed in one of my finals, and am done with one class. Now I just need to write two more final papers by April 30th and take three exams. I'm trying to get some done before they get here so I'm not cramming before spring break, but I am the procrastination queen, and am doing a great job at maintaining my crown.
