First week in Ireland

Hi everyone,

So It has been a little bit over a week since I arrived in Ireland. Orientation in Dublin came and went we didn't do anything too special. I went to the Guiness Storehouse where I had my first pint of Guiness. It was definitely interesting and a taste that needs to be acquired.

We arrived in Galway on Wednesday. I was the only one in my apartment since I am the only American here and it was pretty lonely. On Friday we left for our home stay which lasted until Sunday evening. Nothing too exciting happend. Another girl from the program and I stayed with a young couple and their 7 year old boy and girl twins out in the country. they live in the picturesque Irish village, with the sheep and cobble stone fences.

Today was my first day of classes and all I have to say is that they lied when we were told the system here is easier. I had the same class twice today among other classes. My classes started from 9 in the morning and didn't end until 4pm.

Well its getting late over here and I have to go register for classes early tomorrow, so I will try to keep everyone updated.

Until more exciting times!
