After airport delays, a six hour flight, and a four hour bus ride, I finally made it to the University of Limerick Campus yesterday. Awkwardly walking in what I believed to be the general direction of the village I’m living in, I came to a bridge with a Dromroe Village sign beside it. I thought, “You have got to be kidding me!” and couldn’t help but smile.
This is the view:
I live in a rather spacious six bedroom apartment with a communal living room, kitchen, and balcony that overlooks that stream. This is the view out the window:
I have only met one of my suitemates, but he immediately offered me a cup of tea. I think I am going to like it here. We watched “Pimp my Ride” together and he mentioned that he thinks “Jersey Shore” is hilarious. Good job America. At least he appreciates the South Park version of Jersey Shore as well. My friends will understand how utterly important that is to me.
I spent today wandering around the outskirts of Limerick. I picked up the essentials, namely a cell phone, yogurt, and apples (Ionut, you understand). Then, I went to The Stables Club, a campus pub, and met some Americans there. The campus is pretty much only filled with international students right now. All the rest of the Irish students will show up next week, I am told. International Orientation is tomorrow, so I have to wake up fairly early for that. I’m just praying that my new cell phone has a strong enough alarm.
Arin and Phil, this one's for you:
