Home Sweet Home




I have made it to Cork! After 15 + hours of traveling (because everyone of my flights was delayed or cancelled) I have finally made it! I arrived Thursday at Eden Hall and was informed that most of the students have unfortunately had not arrived yet. Friday morning however I met one of my roommates. She lives about half an hour from Cork but is attending CIT and CCU and like most of the other Irish students living here, travels home during the weekends. She was SUPER nice though and I went with her and one of her friends to the grocery store and they helped me pick out some food for the weekend. She is coming back on Sunday night and we are suppose to hangout, which I'm really looking forward to.
In all Friday was a pretty quiet day. Today, was quite eventful to say the least. The adaptors I had bought back home and brought were the wrong kind, and I was desperate to charge my laptop and have a connection with the outside world, so I decided to venture out. The city is basically a straight shot from the school. I got down there alright and was able to find all the things I needed with a little help (everyone I talked to was extremely friendly and nice). I picked up a sim card, coat hangers, dish soap, and an adaptor. I'm not exactly sure where things started to go wrong but on my way back I got more lost then I could have if I tried. The 40 minute walk ended up taking me 2 hours. But all in all I think that it was a good learning experience for me and the moral is; when your as directionally challenged as I am, TAKE THE BUS.


P.S Here is my room for the next 4 months :)
