Mustard Mashed potatoes, Really?

Hello Fellow followers! Today i wore two layers of leggings to try to stay warmer, but that didnt help too much. They say the weather is going to get colder... once again, Hello HOME!! haha. Today i was able to sleep in and finally catch up on my sleep from being so darn jett legged! A few of us wandered around to find a path to our school. Heres the issue: there are three different locations of the school. Rompous!!! Well, we got lost like usually and by the time we found it i forgot where we came from, go figure. We shopped around for awhile then had orientation dealing with the FIE program we are involved in. Geneveive is the lady who works with us through the program and there are only a few schools involved in it! i feel so priviliged. She is such a cool lady. She has lived in Dublin for 6 years. She will let us know upcoming events and fun activities for cheap. I feel i can learn a lot from her, and she is someone who is easy to talk to since she studied abroad when she was younger!! After orientation we wandered around and went to Starbucks.. haha Ofcourse it would be here in ireland! After that Genevieve arranged a dinner for us Fie members at a resturaunt that was, i swear about 45 minutes away. Here at the resturaunt we had 3 courses. I started out with the cream celeraic(or someting like that) (It was like celery and cheese flavored: it was good) then i had a steak with beans and MUSTARD mashed potatoes. I did not care for them very much because they tasted like someone dropped a whole bottle of mustard into them. they even had the mustard seeds!!! to finish off the meal i enjoyed a nice chocolate and hazlenut torte!!! YUMMY!!! We then went to a pub which is across from Trinity College. Here we were able to meet other college students! it was so much fun. I love the night life of Ireland. I think i could get use to it.
I start my class on Monday involving us learning about Ireland. This class will only be us American students. Actual classes wont start for two weeks... I am kind of nervous!!!
Heres some advice for those of you who dont like mustard, "Steer clear of mustard mashed potatoes!!!!
