Back to the Books

So I have survived three days of classes so far.  A lot of their classes do not start on time, and things are pretty laid back.  In our first class, our professor asked us if we had exams and if we got a break during the two hours of class.   Also, one of the classes was supposed to be three hours and the professor stopped after two.  The girls told her that on our timetable it said 10-1, and she just replied, "Well we'll just continue with stopping at noon and see how it goes.  If we need to add in the hour later on, we can"  I thought these episodes were quite comical.

*Edit* Hannah and myself for our first-day-of-school picture




I have already skipped a class, but that was because I could not find the classroom.  However, I did ask a couple people, and they could not help me, so it's not like I didn't try.  Turns out the classroom had been moved, so I was not even looking for the right class room.  The professor insisted, it'll be grand, so no worries!!

This week we have had a lot of extra time.  We haven't been able to join a gym yet because you have to have an Ireland bank account.  I need to change this no working out thing ASAP.  However, it is giving my knee a chance to heal a bit (whatever I did to it?)
We are also going to get into some activities with the Nutrition Society, like making food for the homeless.

There was also a pub crawl put on for the international students last night.  We obviously did not have anything to do, so we went to that for a bit.

As for this weekend, I am going on a mystery tour with the Nutrition Society.  We don't know where we are going (except the people the planned it), but we are taking a bus, going somewhere for the night, having an activity the next day, and then coming back to Dublin.  It should be fun, and I am looking forward to it.

I've taken some pictures; I will get them up soon, hopefully.
