A little bit of everything

So day 2 was the first full day in Dublin. All of the guys woke up a bit late. We were tired and none of us had any pressing matters to attend to (which is what I am sure will become a common theme...), so the sleep was welcome.

After we all emerged from our quarters (which will from henceforth be the name of our rooms), we took a little walking tour of campus. Some tent was put up and we all got free stuff, most of which was lame but some of which was good, like coupons and deodorant samples. We dropped our stuff off and then decided it would be a good idea to try out the walk to downtown, see how long it takes.

An hour and fifteen minutes later, we were at O'Connell house. For those of you that are not aware, the Keough-Naughton Centre is located in the O'Connell house, and is basically our Notre Dame contact away from home. Kevin runs the center and will also be our professor. There we ran into some other people from Blackrock and chatted for a bit. Eventually we made our way back to campus.

One of the activities was a showing of the movie "Once." Not exactly a good movie if you ask me, but the upside is it shows a ton of the city of Dublin. Anything in that movie, I have seen firsthand, which is pretty cool. Dinner tonight was grilled cheese and tomato soup, which I cooked. Not that grilling sandwiches counts as cooking. The rest of the night was low-key; a showing of A Few Good Men, and housekeeping duties have kept me up until this point. I know it is early in the States, but here in Ireland it is almost 2 in the morning. I'm still getting myself used to the different time zone, so I must leave you to read some of my other pieces. Have a great day!
