October

I haven't had any updates in awhile, but I thought I'd fill you in on what has been happening in Galway this past week.

Last weekend was pretty relaxed. We tried out a new place on Saturday night, it was pretty fun! On Sunday morning I went grocery shopping--I really wish groceries weren't so expensive. When I got home, I made delicious brownies! Sunday night a bunch of girls came over and we watched movies, ate pizza and brownies.

Tuesday night the International Student Society put on an 80s themed party. The costume winner would receive 50 euro! Unfortunately, none of us won, but we had a great time getting all dressed up for it! It was a lot of fun!!

Yesterday I had my first ever kiting experience! It was so fun!! My friend Marcel has this big kite that, if the wind is strong enough, will lift you up and lots of people go wind surfing with these kinds of kites. I won't be doing that, but he kept talking about kiting and I wanted to see what it was all about. I had a bunch of time between classes so we went out...and I think it's probably my new favorite activity! It was so fun!!

Tonight we're going to greyhound dog races. I've never seen them, but a few people wanted to go, so I thought I'd go along. I'm excited to see what this entails!

My roommate, Jan, has a few friends coming for the weekend. I am getting very excited because my friend Steph is coming MONDAY!!!! It'll be really fun to see a face from home :) She'll be here for about a week, so I'm sure I'll have all sorts of adventures to blog about after next week. I know that we will go to Limerick and Dublin!

Hope the first week in October is treating everyone well! (I can't believe it's October!)
