Ok so the past few nights ok for the past week we have been drinking like fishes and have been having a great time. Jen and i got to know our neighbors and we actually enjoy their company. They make fun of us and it makes us relaize the differences between us and our countries. Theyre outlook on life is so different from ours and they actually make me feel kind of spoiled living in the UNited States. They call us F*ckin Yanks... and theyr accent is just hilarious. You can barely understand them because they speak so fast, and they use different words. Once again it was time to buckle down and do another group trip, so it actually looks like we were doing something while we were over here to our college. Our next ... read more

Ahhh! We finally arrived! We flew into Shannon Airport in Ireland. Its early in the morning and the airport is barely moving. I hadnt slept the entire time on the plane, it was crunched, and i was hungry.. and... well... yea... We got on our group bus,(stomach grumbling and me practically passing out...) until i realized mom had put gold fishes in my carry on.. THANK YOU MOM!!! Me and jen ate them all and fell asleep on the bus.. it took us about 2 hours to finally reach our apartments that had our warm comfortable beds waiting for us in good ol' Tralee, Ireland. By this time, we were completely drained. Good thing was.. it was an apartment complex for college students! Which means it was an opportunity to meet new friends and get to ... read more
