I feel like i've been waiting for this trip for so long! All summer I attempted to plan for this trip but I knew that i couldnt make any plans to set in stone. And I still want to just slap myself and say, "am i really in Ireland?!?!!?"..."is there really thousands of miles of ocean between me and where I like to call home?!" to me this is so very exciting.
My plane ride here wasn't too bad. I sat next to a girl from Dublin and she was quite nice, hard to understand because her accent was so thick, Or maybe it was just me because i felt as if i was mesmerized just by how different it was. The first week here has been amazing! my computer hasn't worked like i had hoped it would but I've finally figured out a way to get my internet working. If i set my cell phone on the window i receive pretty good internet! The people here are very nice, at first we werent sure how to feel because we've never been the outsider!
Half way through the first week/towards the end i became ill with Tonsilitus! ahhhh not how i had hoped to spend the beginning of my trip but I know i'll get better soon. Im on another weeks worth of antibiotic because the first antibiotic my body did not seem to react to. unfortunate but i feel a heck of a lot better than i did last week. We will be going to Wexford tomorrow for our second excursion and we will be seeing the beach where saving private ryan was shot on. Sounds exciting. Gotta run, will keep you updated now that i've found a reliable source for internet!
