Ireland Adventures

Fall Break is over and I haven't wrote in ... a long time! Woops sorry (I kind of forgot that we would actually have to be doing schoolwork over here) I had so much fun with Mitch and Jeffrey on Fall break. My favorite  place we visited was probably Miltenberg Germany because it was such a cute little town and everybody there was named Faust!! I also like being in Ireland with the boys because I knew all of the main sights so it was kind of like showing them around my second home. It was nice to get back to Spiddal after a fantastic break, and get back into a routine of things. The day we got back, it was gorgeous and a group of us decided to go for a dip in the Atlantic! It was... Freezing, but So worth it! I didnt plan on going in past my knees, but JD of course came up behind me and picked me up and threw me 10 feet into the waves! It was definitely a memory that I will look back on  and be thankful for doing despite other people in our group saying we were crazy and staying back.

We have had a long two weeks of classes! We have not gone on any excursions since fall break, so it has been nice being able to stay in one place for a while, but that also mean 6 hours of classes a day! My favorite classes are literature and our Study Abroad class that our director teaches. We spend the days going to class, making dinner, doing homework, and then watching movies! We have been excitedly getting ready for Halloween which means watching lots of scary movies and making our costumes!
Our cottage decided to be Zombies for Halloween because it was the easiest to make! We got white t-shirts and fake blood in Galway and decorated them on Tuesday night. Yesterday, we had 6 hours of Theology and were all super antsy by about the 5th hour. We got done and started getting ready for Halloween!! At 9:00 our whole group went into Galway. We went to our usual pubs that arent usually crowded, but they were Packed last night!! It was A lot of fun and we all had a really good time!
