First Day of School

So today was the first day that we got to check out some classes that we are interested in and it was a lot of fun. I have never taken a big lecture hall class and I totally loved it! The lectures are only an hour but all of mine didn't go longer than 45 minutes which was nice. The classes are only one day a week or two, right now my schedule is set up so that I don't have any classes on Fridays and my one and only class on Monday is from 5-6pm so basically I have a four day weekend and none of my classes are before 10am which means sleeping in! My favorite class of the day was Romance and Realism, the professor was so animated when he talked that he really got me into the lecture and I am looking forward to the rest of the semester with him. I also took an Introduction to Irish History where we started to learn about the potato famine. Tomorrow I have another history class that deals with Hitler and World War 2 and then a Traditional Irish music class on Monday that looks like it might be promising. Today was pretty exhausting though because we didn't know where anything was so we were running all over campus! I am about ready to take a cold shower (yeah thats right, our hot water heater has been broken since we got here so cold showers everyday for me, it helps wake me up really fast!) and hop into bed. Miss everyone back home and please please email me and just let me know whats the news back in the states! xoxo

cheers
