Random..

I'm almost through my third week (I think?) in Ireland. This is the week that majority of people say you kind of hit a funk so to speak? I feel like I'm sort of hitting that, but not even close to the degree I know some have in the past. 

Well..not so much a funk, but you just start to miss your family, friends...Jake's sports games, not feeling like a foreigner, buff chick pizza, tavern wings, hawk wraps, sportscenter and not having to stay up til 5AM to watch the Jets (too bad my Mets JUST missed the playoffs...) haha. As I believe I've wrote in the past, we've had so much downtime these past few weeks that you don't really know what to do with yourself. No more tours, community day meetings, weekly service, etc. But the good news is that classes fully started this week, and the clubs fair just wrapped up on campus. I wrote my name down for the basketball team, co-ed softball and kayaking. Lord knows I probably won't do all three due to time constraints but at least I followed through with doing something. When I approached the basketball table I thought for sure I'd be meeting short Irish kids but they're monstrous...like how-do-I-post-you-up kinda big. So, from what I thought might be a shoo-in to being on the team, it might actually be a good things I signed up for more than one thing haha. We'll see, can't hurt to try. 

The societies fair is tomorrow..that's where we'll be able to learn about different service opportunities in the area and whatnot so I'll stop by that, too, and report back. So hopefully between one of the clubs, and a society or two I'll get back into that old rhythm I'm used to on Hawk Hill. 

Got a package today from my mom. (Thanks Trish for getting that sent out and organized...and extra thanks for the tabs explaining everything...what gave you the impression I'd need things literally spelled our for me? ;) haha) Inside was exactly what I was expecting..a card with a bunch of little encouragements and stuff. For any of you who read my Moms comments on the blog, basically that haha. Too funny...thanks Mom.

This weekend we're planning on going to the Aran Islands...I think. 

We never do anything until the last minute haha but I look forward to showing you all pictures from the trip. Cheers.
