hmm today was fun we went into town again for some more shopping. i went into this store called Farrell and Brown its like abercrombie and fitch for them, but i didnt like any of the girls clothes so i bought some boys clothes (: i got a claddagh ring too! to answer some english class questions...
tim-girls asses are nonexsistant.
TJ-the blarney stone tasted like hand sanitizer
no smoking or drinking, thats gross.
i got accosted by an irish man today, he kept talking to me, i had no diea what he was saying to me but he wished me a happy christmas...it was so hilarious.
tomorrow im going to see some waterfalls i guess, i have to get up really early to make the bus though and then courtney and amanda dance later in the dayy.

day one; 48 hours long

the plane ride was just wonderful.with a screaming ugly baby infrontof us and agoodmovie to distract us from sleeping courtney and i now havent sleptforabout 36 hours.its been terrrible. but soworth it.ps the space on this keyboard doesnt workandim rushing.sorrry. oh! on the plane they put littlebabies and children in cardboard boxes labelled 'Baby Cot'.its quite funnny.we got intoireland around 6 am their time, 1amour time, and apparentlythe sundoesnt rise untilabout 8 am. the bus we took was not really a bus but more ofa van on steriods. our driver didnt take the amount of luggage we would have apparently so it was wickedcramped. but we gotintoour apartment and unpacked soon enough fora whole new adventure...

goodbye!

im shipping off to boston today for my flight on aer lingus at 7pm. hopefully i have everything packed and ready to go by 2pm today when we leave swindsor. our flight arrives at the shannon airport 6am their time, 1am our time...ew. then we have a 3 hour bus ride(yes bus, the shamrockers plus about 8 others) to the gleneagle apartments. i'm not sure whats going on from there, maybe grocery shopping? obviously i'll keep you updated on the going-ons! wish me a safe flight, i despise flying especially for 6+ hours.

packing update!

being tuesday, i felt like i should start packing...and it is no fun. the weather over across the pond is cold, damp, and raining. so my leopard print wellies are essential (: their high is 44 degrees with a low of 42. too bad im not going to the 98 average weather in panama with my dad. its interesting how easy it is to get dressed in the morning for me but adding a new country into the mix makes it so much more difficult. oh well! ha ill figure it all out. 4 days leftt.
