At last I am here

I made it!

I cannot believe I am actually in Ireland!

It has been a long 24 hours (only got maybe 40 mins of sleep), however the flights were not too bad. British Airways was lovely, cosy and very hospitable. Next comes Aer Lingius...Although I had an entire row to myself, it was bumpy, the landing the most. I hate landing, my ears pop and you bounce up and down on the tarmac, blech. Anyway, all that changed when I feasted my eyes on the landscape that was before me. Ireland was always beautiful in pictures, but just wait until you see it in person! It is stunning. absolutely gorgeous. As I was taking a taxi into the University, this euro music was playing and I could only imagine myself being in the one amanda bynes movie where she goes to london and this music plays as she enters the town. It's kind of like her theme music whenever she sees something exciting or takes a taxi somewhere. That was me. I was that girl that had the perfect music playing while she was watching the green pastures roll past on her way to the University.

This excitement soon came to an end when I reached where I was staying. This place looks NOTHING like the pictures they have on the website. *hint* UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE IDIOTS* I was disappointed, but I figured it could be worse, so I am making the best of it and it is going swimmingly :)

I explored the city centre; found GREAT shopping and loads a new places to hang out and have a pint! (look i'm already starting to sound like them! Even though it is REALLY hard to understand them).

Ah well, this was day one of Semester in Ireland and I cannot wait to write more about my adventures! Please keep reading these. It makes me feel like people care about what I am doing over here (I swear it will get more interesting with more traveling!) :D :D
