Damn Irish Weather


I swear the weather here is more absurd than Michigan. The last few weeks were super warm...sunny and mid-sixties. We were warned it wouldnt last long...but its very depressing now thats it gone. Today it couldnt have gone much above 50..and it rained all day...just like yesterday and prolly tomorrow... I miss the sun and warm weather. Another point worth mentioning is the sun is SUPER intense and always up. It rises at like 5am and goes down around 11pm...and you get burned doing practically nothing. Its horrible.
Today we had a meeting with EUSA concerning our safety. They took alot measures to assure it here at Shanown Square...the gate will be faster, security better, and the Spar is closing now at 11. I feel satisfied with these precautions...stuff happens.
After the meeting we headed to a pub to catch the England vs Sweden match...they drew. Since Trinidad and Tobago lost today to Paraguay....England and Sweden will be advancing out of that group. They show the funniest budweiser commercials during halftime....(FYI there are no commercials during the game AT ALL)...since bud is the official beer of the world cup, they have ads where american announcers are trying to announce the game...and making stupid comments...and then the slogan is "We'll bring the football, you just bring the beer"..or something like that...its super funny.
Alright im very tired and i have to get up early and go running bc im like the only person in the history of the world to come to Europe and get fatter...SICK.
