When the Craic takes ya, go with it!

Well, I'll start off with saying I love this country. It's great craic!! I've been horrible at blogging, and the past 2 weeks have been a real blur! I'm in the concourse at school currently waiting for 18th Century Irish History to start.

The brief rundown of my life in one sentence:

Go to class, go home, have the craic, go to bed, repeat.

Galway is fantastic and utterly beautiful!

So far I have:

• Gone to the coast
• Glimpsed the Atlantic from the East
• Seen trad music multiple times
• Been to mass in the Galway Cathedral
• Danced the night away
• Gone to 2 hrs of intensive Irish dance class
• Met some of the coolest people alive
• Made Friends
• Watched Friends (that show is on CONSTANTLY here)
• Walked all over the city
• Had the greatest pizza at the Monrose
• Played with a puppy
• Found the greatest bookshop ever (Charlie Brynes)
• Found the greatest Hot Chocolate ever (The Chocolate Box)
• Read Oscar Wilde
• Read "Love Letters of Great Women" (Abigail Adams is pretty much the coolest woman ever)
• Learned so much about Irish Culture
• Learned a lot about Irish History
• Integrated history with understanding culture
• Had crazy intellectual conversations about Irish History and Culture :P
• Gone to the Claddaugh Museum (and the only place that legally makes official Claddaugh rings <3)
• Had a "walking tour of Galway"
• Gone to a choral concert at St Nicholas which was just grand
• Enjoyed girls nights in with both my roommates and Berry's

All that and I'm going all over Co. Clare this weekend with my program.
