Not up to much

 

Hey everyone sorry I haven’t written in awhile…..I haven’t been up to anything to eventful. My computer is being stupid and won’t let me upload anything, so no pictures or videos this time. This past weekend I stayed in Dublin. Natalie and I went to the Modern Art Museum on Friday afternoon. It was nice, but nothing spectacular, some of the exhibits were closed because of construction. Saturday, we went to Phoenix Park and that was a really good time! It is the largest enclosed park in Europe and it makes Central park look dinky. We hired bikes and road around the park for about 3 hours. It was a beautiful day, the leaves were falling from the trees, and it just smelled like autumn. I was excited because there were lots of leaves on the ground and I love crunching them! After that we walked to the Natural History Museum and spent some time looking around there. Saturday night one of the girls in our class was having a birthday party, so we went to that and had a really good time. I am really stoked because some of the girls in my class are in a climbing club (like rock climbing) and I went with them on Monday. The go to a place similar to climb time, if any of you know what that is or have ever been there, but it’s free! So pretty much I can climb every Monday and Tuesday night for free if I want to! The club also goes on trips and I might try to go on one if it works out. They are going on one this weekend, but I already had made travel plans. My friend Jeff is coming (he is studying at Kent in Canterbury) to Dublin and then he and Natalie and I are going to Galway, the Cliffs of Mohr and the Araon Islands. We have Monday off of school, so we will be able to be gone for a long weekend. It is going to be so fun, I have booked us to stay at what seem to be some really cool hostels (one is on a working farm and is in an old farm house….or at least that’s their marketing ploy), and the scenery is supposed to be gorgeous!

Needless to say, everything is going really great. Wow I just ate a piece of bread with rhubarb ginger jam I bought and it's so delicious!  I have a biochem test on the 28^th, so I have been studying for that. Of course I have been reading a lot…I finished the first book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy and am half way through the second book. They are so amazingly good! I was having really good luck with the weather, sunny mild days, but is has started to rain a lot. The last 2 days it has been pouring, it is still quite mild though. Thankfully is doesn’t take but 5 minutes for me to walk to class. I pray that everyone on the other side of the Atlantic is doing well, it’s just a short swim if anyone wants to visit! I look forward to telling you all about my weekend.
