Two parties in one night, I sound like I have a life!

So on weds I don't start until 2. So I spent the morn researching Cork. I believe I might be kissing a stone this weekend... and possibly be granted the Eloquence the Blarney Stone is said to bestow.

I had my first class of Irish today... yeah, I don't remember hardly anything, I remember how to say hello, which in Irish actually translates "May God be upon you" but I feel as though I'm pronouncing it not quite right. Well, I've got it again tomorrow so we'll see!

Then to Developmental geography, with a one hr break, and then developmental geography again. Does that make any sense to you? It doesn't to me either... So far, the most frustrating thing about classes is that all the teachers keep saying they will post notes/assingments/readings on Blackboard. I can't access Blackboard until I register for the classes... next week. Ugh.

So anyways, I came home, ate, talked with Caitlyn about the Saturday excursion to the stone and then somehow saw time pass until I had to make my trek to the city center for the Hispano Society's party at Bar 8 and then the International Students' Society Party at Paddy's Pub.

The Hispano Soc's party was lovely! Very chill. I got there and they provided sangria. I quite enjoyed it, very fruity, and not high on the alcohol content so it was easy to drink a few. I met some really awesome people. Surprisingly, most of the people I meet aren't Irish, although half of them here were, but I met a few Germans at the welcome party. then, of course, I met some Spaniards and even a French guy. Quite the international shin dig, lots of people like Spanish I guess. It was nice, I really enjoyed the conversation. I feel likeit was a nice alternative to the drunk sillyness that followed at the ISS party. Plus, one girl at the Hisp Soc gave me further incentive to backpack through Latin America b/c she did so just recently, 6 months (Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela) and had a blast! I also keep finding out how small the world is b/c there she met some Irish guys also backpacking and come to find out they knew some of the same people.

Anyways, I left there after about an hr and a half to meet up with my friend Yeekay (pronounced as if you say the letters "E K") at the ISS party. Met some new people there, danced a bit (horrible music but fun times) and then left. Now I'm looking at my calendar and figuring out when I'm going where... homework will wait for Friday I think...
