Yellow, everyone.

How are we? I'm well thanks. Had my first 9 am class today which meant I got out of bed at 8:20, didn't have enough time to grab coffee or breakfast but sat through another interesting class. Afterwards I was waitin' for some friends so I finally got some coffee (such a let down here unfortunately. Picture a cup of joe thats somehow both watery yet strong and then be grossed out because its really quite disgusting) and a croissant and took a load off in the foyer. I now know what foreign exchange students feel like at SMC, and that feeling is feeling Awkward. Ireland is not tooooo different from America, yet as I was sitting in the midst of old Irish friends, I felt ignored and goonish. I'm so glad I befriended the Spanish exchange students last semester because now I know how weirdy it feels to be stuck on a couch with people who kiiind of feel like they want to talk to you buuut then don't.

Anywizzle, just finished ichatting Mona and Erica with a guest appearance by Nate which was darling. I'd like to publicly apologize to Mona for hating on Desperate Housewives for a good portion of last semester. We watched an episode at a friends house last night since their Irish roommates consider it the only good soap on t.v and boy was I captivated, albeit utterly confused by the seriously complicated storylines.

I'm really getting a hang of this blogging thing as you can see, I'm all about making paragraphs now.

A few kids and I are planning a weekend trip at the end of this month to Killarny which is a 4 hour bus ride away, a hostel worth of sleep but apparently beautiful scenery and adventurous biking and hiking and boating. I also want to start planning trips across Europe when I get comfortable with classes and all. Although I'm not eating much here I'm a bit concerned about what will happen when I visit Italy for the first time. There is a very good chance I'll come back as a bloated and garlicy balloon but would for sure deflate shortly afterwards due to walking to and from class and town and solely eating cheese toasties and apples.

Speaking of cheese toasties, I have to go to my dear friend Brenna's house to make dinner. We've been joining forces for dinner along with Isabelle, Zach, and Liza for the past few days which makes it that much more fun and a little bit more delicious. We have a piece of frozen chicken to contribute to tonight's dinner (which by the way- frozen food is differently packaged than in America which is so wasteful yet certainly protected from the elements. We opened up the chicken the other night and were alarmed to find two slabs of frozen chicken in a box...no plastic wrapping around it. I'm realizing how wasteful we really are since were still alive after eating it). But if anyone has easy and cheap receipies they would be much appreicated. Oh, I had fish and chips today from McDoungah's which was delicious and now I truly feel like I'm in Ireland.
