thank you those of you who filled me in on the tsunami thing. I was kinda freaking out just a little- the news here exaggerates (i should have known better cause i knew that fact) i just reacted when they said cali :) but it seems all is well and im glad that everyone is ok So today was AMAZING!!! one of the best days i have had since i have been here!! It started with the christian adventure. Kasey went with me cause i didnt want to get lost and it was a 20 min walk. So ya we got there and as soon as we walked in there were 3 people surrounding us saying oh youre new- welcome!! oh man i love the christian church!!! it had so much energy, so much life. i ... read more

So today I had irish this morning and learned numbers and something called "hitching" confusing but ya. Then I had to run up to the art history department house and pick my essay topic. Luckily I got the topic I wanted to, so I am a little excited but there were definitely two whole topics completely taken and only 4 more slots on the one I wanted and that was at 11am this morning after they were only put up at 6pm last night. I will be writing on reception aesthetics as it pertains to two artists in relation to each other. Basically that means I get to talk about what the art work/artist asks of the viewer. By far my favorite part of the class!! After that I sat in the cafe and crocheted. It ... read more

Sorry I haven't updated in ages! Life's been busy-ish. I have learned to love marketing on Saturdays. It makes me feel industrious and in control. I love going to the English Market just to look around, but since this Saturday was my 100-days-left-of-studying-in-Cork mark, I went a bit mad and made a fancy dinner, so I did more than look at the English Market! I got a salmon fillet and organic kale, then made a four-berry and black pepper sauce. This weekend was also style and fashion weekend! My roots were getting out of control, so I went in to a salon and said I wanted all the blonde cut off. They stylist was really dubious, but I assured her that was what I wanted. She did leave a little bit of blonde at the tips, ... read more

So it was raining today and pretty cold so lara and i postponed our free hug day. I guess it wasn't meant. I had class at 9 then I went to the gym this morning and took that class that killed me last week so we shall see how i fair tomorrow? Then i came back and found a package from my nanny waiting for me and i wish beyond all wishes that i didnt have my test tomorrow so that i could actually watch emma and the white house thing (maybe not the football- but it made me laugh) I then studied for a few hours and then had irish class. Then studied and then had modern to postmodern. I then was able to talk to my art besty- Karolin. It was short but so ... read more

So yay today was friday!! Started my day with Irish and basically just reviewed what we had learned this week including all about our family:) I need to make flashcards for that class but that will happen another day. In between classes i went to a little cafe and had tea and after finishing my one book last week, started my new book, "the time machine" by hg wells. It is really good and really short so hopefully i will be done with it soon so that i can start on my other library book, "atlas shrugged". After that little break, I then had my postmodern class where we learned about fetishism in 21st century art. It was really interesting and I am definitely going to spend some time reading up on all of what we ... read more
