first, my feet are very cold in my flat.
after an unspeakable journey across the atlantic and part of ireland, i got in a taxi to go to my flat and had my first conversation with a native galwayan. this is about how it went:
me: corrib village, please.
driver: ack! a yank abroad, eh? well mermermmermermerm university mermerbleh, aight, eh?
me: sorry?
driver (slowly): look there, there's the university.
me: oh. ah yes.
driver: stay away from the boys.
me: i will.
driver: my my my, bless my soul love, mermermermemrahem.
seriously.
then i took an epic nap and went out to dinner w/ a bunch of girls from my building.
nice nice times. we walked long ways to downtown along the corrib river, which should be gorgeous in the daytime. we even saw some sort of castle remnant on the banks. this morning i'm going to walk downtown w/ my roommate, umbrella in tow, and see what's what. pub scene updates to come.

ahh Kate that's so exciting! When I had an Irish au paire I remember not being able to understand anything she said for the first week. You'll get used to it. Take pictures and put them here or on facebook soon!
Kate, Ireland sounds amazing! I'm glad things are working out for you so far.
I think the Irish are the funnest people to not understand. I want more Irish people over here.
P.s. the stupid thai internet automatically translates everything on this page except the posts so instead of helpful options like a "Post" button, I have ชื่อเล่น. lame.
Yes, you MUST update us on the bar scence to come! :-)
I think that is a perfect way to start study abroad!! And you described it so greatly.
love Jessie
