Better Late Than Never

So this will also be short and sweet because I am getting ready to meet the rents.  They came in last Saturday morning.  So far we went on Giant's Causeway & Derry tour (Northern Ireland), they went to the Cliffs of Moher (West Side(high)), and yesterday we went to the Blarney Castle/Kinsale/Cobh/Cork (Southern Ireland).  Tonight it's Hannah and Mooney's birthday, so a bunch of us are all going out to eat, along with the parents.  Tomorrow (Friday) is my last day with them before they're shipped back over to America.

Easter break (it already seems so long ago) turned out well.  I won't go into details because one of them isn't so happy.  Let's just say Amsterdam may have more memories of me than I have of it. (not because of an erased memory). Turns out Amsterdam isn't all about sex, drugs, and rock n' roll.  It has some great and interesting history.  They aren't liberal, they are tolerant.... While we were there we did a wine and cheese tasting tour, the Heinekin, Anna Frank Huis, a canal cruise, etc.  It was definitely good to get back to Dublin.  I missed my new home and English speaking people!

Since Easter break (nearly two weeks now) I've had some excitement.  We've had a couple exams (not such fun excitement), a triathlon at DIT (I wanted to die, but I didn't), and our formal, (<-- was the opposite) The Beast Ball (with potatoes and all), and as I've already mentioned the excitement with the rents here.

My semester over here is unfortunately winding down :(.  I only have 2 more classes and then exams!
Next week I'm heading to England to visit Katie Bush, so that will be an adventure, no doubt.

Well i'll try and add in some later; sorry for the poor, undetailed blog.
