Thank you for my letters Sally, Mom, and BB!! I just checked my mail for the first time today and it was a fun surprise to see I had 3 things in there. Sally, I'm really glad you sent me a Seattle postcard because now I can show people where I am from. And Mom your card made me laugh out loud with the fish haha :) I hope your cold is gone by now. Wish I could have brought you tea and tucked you in like you do for me. BB, what you wrote was very touching indeed. Thank you for sending me inspiration and happy thoughts, I need those every now and then over here. You were right, I did need that lonely advice about a week ago :) I will surely read it over and over when I feel like that again. I love you sister, and family!
Dad I'm so excited to get your box!!! I will let you know when it arrives.
Today I had class and I think I finally know my complete schedule (minus one seminar time during the week). I'm taking:
Laying the Foundations, an Irish history class from the 1500's to 1800's
Irish Story Telling, a course about famous legends, myths, and their history (fun!)
Irish Author Studies, focusing on W. B. Yeats, James Joyce, and Samuel Beckett
I don't have classes on Mondays or Wednesdays. It's nice because that gives me a day to read and study during the week and an extra day to travel on the weekends. Speaking of weekends, this weekend we are going to the Antrim Coast on Saturday and the Bushmills Distillery on Sunday. We get a tour of the distillery and afterwards get to go to a tasting room and have a bit of famous whiskey. Should be fun! Tomorrow I have decided to go to the school's rowing team meeting and see what its about. It is an all year round sport here and I've heard great things about it. Plus BB liked rowing, so I thought I'd give it a try. I'm feeling like I need to be physically active or else I am going to become a balloon. I also joined the gym on campus today. Its about 30 pounds extra, but all my friends are members so we will be inspiration to each other to actually go and work out!
Tonight my friends and I are getting together to plan our trip to Spain in 3 weeks. Sally I would love to talk to you about that! Then we are going to a men's Gaelic football game :) Emily has become part of the women's team and says it is an extreme sport, but she loves it. No new pictures today...
Granny, BB told me that you read my blog every day! I'm so glad, now you will just need to learn how to comment on it :)
That's all for today folks!
I love coming home from school every day and reading what my baby sister did in Ireland that day!- freakin cool! :)
