6 Days of Sun...It's a Miracle.

Well, a LOT has happened over the last few weeks. I've met so many cool people, love most of my classes, experienced REAL Ireland, SO MUCH! I am currently in my room, eating a sandwhich and some pringles. I had one class this morning and one more at 6:00. The I'm finished for the day! The last couple of days have been the same, classes, then going to Hanna's house for dinner with some friends. We've been swaping music, watching movies, making fun of eachother, just haveing a good time (sometimes with some drinks, I won't lie to you). It's amazing how comfortable I feel here. I was so nervous before arriving, and especially in that first week here, but I love it. I don't exactly feel homesick persay, I have skype which helps a TON, and it makes it seem like I'm not that far away. The only time I REALLY feel homesick is when I'm deciding what to eat and I know that whatever I make won't come out as good as what Mom or Dad makes. But I'm getting there!
Last weekend a few of us went on this bus tour to the Cliffs of Moher. SOOOOOO COOL. It was a BEAUTIFUL sunny day, just excellent. We stopped at this place called Caherconnell Stone Fort first which was pretty cool, we just walked around this old stone fort and stuff. Then we went to this castle...I can't remember what it was called. We couldn't go inside but I took pictures. THEN we stopped at this ocean cliff place which was really cool. We ate lunch in this little town and I bought some gloves with sheep on them :-) THEN we FINALLY made it to the Cliffs and they were spectacular. It was very cool. I'll try and upload some pics on here.

More Cliffs (How beautiful is that!?)

So that's pretty much it, I went shopping and to the Hunt Musuem the other day and we sunbathed (in Ireland how weird is that!?) in front of King John's Castle. We've really been lucky with the weather. I joined sailing club which will be interesting, but fun.

Pictures are very much appreciated, and I'm doing this thing to decorate my room: Take a blank piece of printer paper and draw, write, do whatever you want on it! Movie quotes, lyrics, pictures, anything! I'm covering my wall with them and I've already got a nice little collage going on.

Love you and miss you. Peace out River Trout.
