Guiness a sign of Americans?

Hey~
A. Ill have u know that i have barely even gotten lost here at all...not once when i was by myself. And you are definitly going to need me bc u wont even be able to understand the irish and their accents. The people from the city are not soo bad but if they grew up in the country, they talk fast and have a super heavy accent. For the first week, i feel pretty much everyone we met heard the phrase "i cant understand you", the other problem of course is the slang...everyday i learn something new. Beginning to incorporate some of it into my everyday speech, like grand and spot on...hahhaha

B. There are 10 people here from MSU...we all get along really well. Good times have definitly been ***CENSORED***We have been the 2 art galleries nad seen some great shit and also the botanical gardens.

C. Last time i try and help you out.

D. hmm... london is up in the air. Im starting to panic alittle. Paris, Barcelona, Prouge, and Amsterdam are already on the agenda. Although its starting to worry me that this is getting a bit extreme and i will run of out money if i hit up too many places. I was thinking if you guys went to london on a weekend i would come with bc i def want to go. London is prolly the cheapest place to go to so i dont really worry abotu that. I may pass on Paris, since its a pretty expensive city to be in for the weekend. I dont know...I have to also keep in mind that we are spending 4 days in Italy at the end of the trip. AHH!!....may have to open a new credit card and have u bring it over if you come.

E. THe Guinness and Smithwicks here are 100x better than at home....much fresher tasting though alot more expensive..there is no such thing as drink specials. We have hit up many bars nad have already established some favorites..Whelans is really great...we try and stay away from temple bar area bc its super expenisive and mostly tourists. We like to mingle with the
locals. Hahaha. Stopped drinking alot of guinness though because it was pointed out that it is a sure sign of americans. especially for a girl to be drinking a pint of guinness. Alot of folks here actually drink american beer here like bud or mgd...hahha pretty funny. Our whole group has gotten into a drink called a snake bite...its hieniken, bulmers, and black courrent juice..pretty damn delicious. mmm....

F. Have no idea what im supposed to be doing at my internship...today i worked from home but i had little work to do bc ive been mostly reading the whole time. I have no idea what i was suppose to be doing today. I definitly an intern loser. Ahhh well
