I saw the Sun!

No classes today.

I got up and tried to work on homework. Read about the tragedy of the commons... it takes a lot of effort to get hw done here and I didn't give it much effort. I took a nap, yes, I took a nap after only 2 hrs of being up... Irene was still sleeping, I didn't feel bad about it. I had a 12 noon appt with Immigration, which is conveniently right in front of my apartment.

The Garda who took care of my paperwork was quite friendly. The guy who gave the talk at orientation made it seem rather scary, far from the truth. The worst part of it was paying the 150 euro fee. My guy was nice, he awkwardly said, "Now Jillian, I'm afraid here is where we have to ask you to pay for the pleasure of your company here." At least I walked out of there with a cool immigration card, and not a bad picture.. .or at least I've had worse.

I met up with Mandy at the Square. We bought our bus tickets for tomorrow, 10 euro more than what it said online. That lady, however, was quite unpleasant. Boo to her. We then made our way out to the bay to explore in the sun, sans the hurricane winds. I will soon post pictures of Ireland in the sun (after the Blarney and Burren trips).

Once we started venturing out onto the rocks, it began to hail. It was Ireland's way of saying "get off the rocks you silly Americans." So we listened, then went grocery shopping (I already ate all the grapes I bought... sad). On my way back I visited Caitlyn who moved to a closer apartment complex.

Nothing exciting tonight. I need to do hw, so far I have eaten, gotten online, eaten a bit more and then watched Bones. Now I'm going to start my homework... for real, I swear!
