ROMPOUS!!! I cannot beleive that in only 2 more days i will have been in Dublin for a solid month! Holy Cow. Time is flying by even though it seems like i just arrived yesterday. I am still fighting with my heater to not make me feel like a fat man on a leather couch when it makes my room so darn hott. I have still yet to get use to washing my clothes in the sink. I feel by the end of this trip i will be more civilized. My Mom will be proud. So i have been quite proud of myself in that i have been sauteeing vegetables and cooking stuff in the oven. This is a huge step for me!!!
Also I have been wandering around the city by myself lately. I feel so much more independent than i ever have. I like to go into a coffee shop get a hot chocolate because i dont like coffee(ALthough i wish i did) and sit and write lyrics. It is so relaxing. I love obseerving all the people especially the cute elderly Irish man who call everyone "Love." I will miss that. I also have been wandering into grocery stores comparing prices, i feel like a mom or something! haha.
This past weekend a bunch of us went out to the pubs in the Temple bar area because Tradfest was going on.It was packed everywhere!! It was all weekend and involved music and dancing! It was really neat, although i wish i could've seen more! Oh yes, and i lost my cellphone at a club, that was grand, NOT!! For the record i had nothing to drink and still misplaced it! Gahd i was upset. But my mom always tells me "You cant sweat the small stuff." My tonsilitus ordeal that has been lagging on for hmmm lke the entire time i have been too is getting somewhat better. I can breathe and swallow again. Yipppeee-time to hit up some Irish scones!!
As mentioned i am heading to scottland this weekend with two other girlfriends. We will be visiting Edinbourgh and Glascow. I am excited to meet my grandmas life long pen pal Mary and her son Robert. They will be able to give us a true Scottish tour! They seem like such kindhearted people. I cannot wait! I also booked a trip to Berlin for a weekend and Budapest. Budapest was reccomended to us by a lady working with us. She said it is so cheap there and beautiful. I'll feel cool saying i've been to Budahpest! hahaha During our reading week which is only a few weeks away i am heading to Italy (Rome&Athens&Santurini(the place where "Sisterhood of the traveling pants" takes place)) I WANT TO GO THERE. Also being on that island will make think of Mamma Mia and i might just break out in some Abba tunes. I will get to see Jason in Rome!! uhuhuhuhuh I am hoping to make it to London and paris as well!
I am so fortunate for my friend Allison who is this mighty master at trip planning even though she says she's never done it before. I admire the girl! Its the 2nd week of classes so hopefully things are figured out. I am ecstatic to let you know that i can finally find all 3 buildings by MYSELF now! Yes it was a big thing for me! With all the darn winding streets all changing into others thing can really mess a person up.
Today i received a package from my mom consisting of hot chocolate and other munchies! THANK YOU MOM!!! It made my entire day! Well folks i miss you all more than you know and wish everyone could come visit me and cross all the bridges there are to cross here with me! Maybe someday when i get that castle! hahaha
Hope all is well!
