Checkin in with the parents....BORING!!



Hey~
Safely arrived in Dublin...the airport looks like the inside of QP..no joke, definitly not like DTW. I can't really figure out how to work my phone yet...none of us can...hopefully they will tell us at the orientation tomorrow. Our apartment is AWESOME...its me sarah, megan and this girl amy...the one who was at the airport. They drive from the passanger seat here...sarah made a fool of us when she went to go get in the taxi from the airport on the driver side. We wondered around our neighborhood today looking for a place to eat..its crazy..apperantly it is VERY obvious we are american. We made fools of ourselves at the pub we went to b/c it was some absurd buffet style and we couldnt understand...i just ate soup..its tasted like gravy. Then we napped for awhile and headed down the city centre. IT is AMAZING there....so pissed they changed our residence location from there to here. We went to a restraunt where the waitress happened to be canadian and helped us out. She was super nice. I actually had a really good burger..it had like sundried tomotoes and basil mixed in the meat...super good choice..though it was hard to deciede between the burger and bangers and mash...which was acutally on the menu. We went to a pub after that where a musician was playing all american music...theres something very nice about drinking some smithwicks in a foriegn country listening to piano man at the same time...super fabulous. Im waiting right not for the hot water to come back on...though we all have our own bathroom..it appears that only one of us can take a shower in a 3 hour span. Will probably call sometime tomorrow after orientation. Turns out one of the other girls on the program is wokring at the same place as me...its great. Everyone is super fun adn i
think we will all get along well.
Talk to u later
love,
Kayt.
