A croatian man, rain, and general ramblings...

Hi guys! How is everyone? Im doing just fine, loving Ireland missing you all. We started orientation this past week and i figured out some of my classes, i think i am going to have off on thursday's and friday's and i'll be finished classes because they are all lectures by the 1st of april, including exams. soooo the rest of that time i'll be traveling europe. should be super fun. ok so what have i done since the last time i have updated...the pubs of course.
haha every night so far we have gone to different pubs and visited with the natives. i have met so many nice people, drank far to many beers and had some very memorable moments thus far. we have been going to manly americanized bars, still have their irish flare but not super traditional. last night we went to a very traditional bar with music and had a blast. i had blumers again, but for me this time by a sweet old irish man who said i had a pretty smile. then i talked with a croatian man! super exciting his name was ivan, like my brother, and he had heard of my last name. he also understood me when i said goodbye in croatian! it was super cool. so the pubs have been fun we will prob go out again tonight.
In other less exciting news the apartment is pretty cool very pretty(there are pics on facebook). Our shower, one of them stopped working boo but that land lord fixed it. however i still have yet to have a hot shower. i think the irish are just used to the cold all the time. haha. but what else. the food. very similar to american food, but a lot less flavor. it tastes very bland...good but bland. the cookies are good though. i think sometime this week we are going to try and get traditional irish food. i'll let you know how it tastes.
ok i think that will be all for now becuase i still am in an intrernet cafe and this costs money! but i miss and love you all and i'll talk to you soon!

Glad to hear about your turbulence.. i prayed long and hard for that. I guess i'm also glad to hear your pub'n it up everynight... it just makes me uber (german) jealous.

Thanks for your cute note.. and the picture is priceless. Thanks to my severe stomach illness recently i have actually not even finished the 6 1/2 gallons greg brought me :-(

Alright.. be good, don't die.
