9/10/08

Today was another uneventful day, as classes start I feel like my days are going to become less and less exciting to my loyal readers. I had class at 10 today so I work up at 8:50, my roommate was in the bathroom so I made some tea and had a muffin and milk to start my day. I poured my tea and got into the bathroom and took my shower, came out and drank my tea. It was cool out today and also raining so I broke out my new coat I recently purchased from Pennies (it worked marvelously). I went to class which was taught by a professor who also teaches yoga. Celtic Myth and Legend seems like it can be an intensely interesting class, but today was all background information so it wasn't that interesting. Class was from 10-12:30 after which Adam had a class at 1:30 (I was thankfully done for the day after class). We (Adam, Derrick, Brian, Jake and I) decided that instead of all going out separate ways we would have lunch at the Portabello, a place we have frequented several times since being in Dublin. I had the Portabello Pesto Melt which was a delicious chicken, cheese and pesto toasted sandwich. I also collected the pint Adam owed me, which led to me having a Guinness with my meal.
After we finished lunch, Adam headed to class, while Derrick, Brian, Jake and I headed back to our apartments. I came back and started to watch Pineapple Express on my computer while Derrick and Brian took naps before there 4:30 class. After I finished the movie, Adam was back so we just hung out watching some American television on Irish stations (it is their primary source of programming). It seemed like my night would end there as I made yet another frozen pizza for dinner. Lo and behold after Derrick and Brian came back Derrick got a call from girls who live in the same apartment complex, but two building over. Evidently Tesco was having a wine festival (aka all there wines were cheaply priced) and wanted to know if we wanted to come over later that night to hang out. Since we were tired of sitting in our living room we decided it would be a good idea. After Adam finished his dinner, he, Brian and I made our way to Tesco. Once there I bought a lovely 5 Euro Tesco brand rose wine (I exude class, I know) and some more Bass Ale (it's a Euro a can, you can't beat it). After I had checked out, Brian and Adam checked out, but they were carded for the second time since we have been here (this requires them to show there passports, I kind of feel bad because Adam is 22 and Brian 20, they both look older then me, but have been carded twice. I haven't been carded yet, I must look scary).
We walked back to the apartment and sat around/got ready to go over the girls apartment. We ended up going there for a couple hours, during which I drank my wine and we watched TV and also talked, it was enjoyable, but nothing noteworthy happened. We came back to the apartment and had a few laughs (we were all feeling great at this point). I am just hanging out in my living room, watching a rebroadcast of college football getting ready for class tomorrow. I have two classes, one at 10 and the other at 1:30 and then I am free for the weekend. Get ready for some stories about a bunch of Americans going to a pub and singing karaoke.
