I petted him, he made a nice noise after.

Hi!

So far this weekend has been semi-eventful, it started off with us having a guest on Thursday night, I was casually watching a movie when Canada called me over to ask if her room smelled like burning plastic… and indeed it did, Norway was called for further inspecition and she too confirmed the situation. We waited a little bit and investigated making sure everything was off, etc, but nothing. So finally we called Security and he came to check it out, he how ever did not smell anything after he was shown the evidence. He called the RA of our village, who was rather displeased and upon further inspection nothing was found. In the end they told us to stop having a meth lab. Very intresting. So as a group we concluded that we have a ghost in the room, and this suspicion was made certain when both Canada’s and mine lappy’s shut off over night again tonight, Canada knows these things and says he’s harmless and might be just passing through and having a good time. I don’t feel anything negative yet so I’m letting it be, BUT we have only two little dinky fire alarms in the house so I complained about that and they came the next day to service them, carbon monoxide detectors are next on my list.

Last night we went to Dolan’s ( traditional Irish Pub) for some drinks and live music, because it’s Norway’s Birth week and her family came to visit so we thought it would be nice. It was really cute and a cozy atmosphere, and then we went to a differant Pub to meet the boys, but that turned out to be not so cute.

And today, our main trip of the weekend was Cork, we weren’t particularly intrested in roaming around, we wanted to see the Blarney Stone and peace out. It was rainy as it has been this whole week, but we were bored and brave and traveled through the storm, I must say out of all the places I have seen so far this was the most fun as well as authentic and preserved as much as they could. I got such good vibes the whole time and it was really a fun spot to visit. We both kissed the stone, and they had nice helper men there so we wouldn’t fall and die and it was grand.

The week has honestly been quite dreary because it’s gotten cooler and it’s been raining, we have been nesting at home, knitting and watches movies hoping to gain motivation to write our papers, tomorrow is the big party for Norway!

I’m hooked up to the site, finally after a month!

I’m all settled in and dandy in my little hole, the roommates are grand and I can make my way around campus, hehe.

Today it hailed, literally hailed the size of peas, and then a combination of rain/hail/sleet happend so that was just great. Canada and I wrapped our heads with our scarfs because we didn’t have hoods and only one umbrella between us along with our purses and shopping bags from the market.

The school system here is really something differant, and just a simple day in class is full of laughs and good times, for example our Lecturer today had no idea about the project that was due, and then the Tutor apparently didn’t know the details, but Canada and I quickly made some friends and formed a little group and chose Norway as our country for the research on Erasmus. Also, our mature student Ester today had another outburst, during the lecture about feminism, towards the end she felt the need to comment; yelling about how women must wear revealing and “not for the weather” dresses to winter time events!, Literally this women was yelling and screeching like a bat about this, while Canada and I sat there giggling. I was tempted to ask her if she ever heard of wearing a fur coat over this so called dress or maybe if she considered the fact that some women enjoy dressing pretty, but I too tired and hungry and knew I would get heated so I let the poor soul go.

Today has been just kind of a lounging day, I got my package from Mum back at home and have been feverishly knitting away, and attempting to get motivated to do some research for my two papers that I must start this week, the rainy weather doesn’t help.

More Later with Pictures of Kerry and the Cliffs!
