Almost in the Flow

It's been a week since I've arrived in Ireland and since then, I have:

1) Been lost in the city eight times (including two dark nights)
2) Watched a whole season of Dexter (thank you, Abdul)
3) Convinced myself that Europeans can identify my American heritage by watching me
walk on the wrong side of the sidewalk.
4) Collected my Student ID Card, Travel Card (need those busses), and my GARDA immigration card (took me 4 hours to get that one).
5) Eaten apples, carrots, cereal, yogurt, beans, and really old rice.
6) Bought a membership to the UCD gym. Now I can train, socialize, and hopefully get strong enough to take a climbing trip. psyched!
7) cleaned the kitchen, which lead to 'Mr. Muscle' cleaner permeating the whole apartment.
8) Went out to a pub and argued about colleges, soccer, and football with a random dude named, Alex. I know nothing about these subjects, but I feel like I took the victory (in your face, Alejandro!) .
9) Engineered a sweet curtain/tent in my bathroom so my shower doesn't spray all over my sink and toilet. If I ever have money to buy a house, it's going to have a bathroom big enough for a beluga whale to swim in.
10) Kindly said, "No", to a tipsy stranger who asked if I wanted to party on a Monday night.
In retrospect, blogging on a Monday night is probably not any better than moving and talking.....it was a judgement call.
11) Day dreamed....a lot
12) Shopped at a pharmacy called, "Hickeys".
13) Slept in my bed with a down jacket and two pairs of wool socks on.
14) Been planning for my first trip. There are people going to Belfast, but I need to look at my options.
15) Really enjoyed the weather! Yeah, it's like 40 degrees and sunny. Hopefully I'll get around to taking some pictures.




bye folks....
