The title of this blog really has absolutely nothing with what I will write about henceforth in this entry, but as all of you know, the game of baseball is almost always on my mind. Being thousands of miles away from home does not make me forget that we now have the greatest rotation to ever play the game. I've already begun working on what is the best way to stream the games here. 1:05 games will be where it's at for me, nothing livens up the monotony of peanut butter sandwich and cereal dinners like the greatest game in the world. Can't wait.
Anywho, it's raining. Huge shock. I'm still staying out to late and almost fell asleep in my 9 am Celtic Mythology, Religion and Folklore class. But last night was a ton of fun. We went to this place called Monroe's because they have Irish set dancing. It's like square dancing, but cooler because it's Irish and not redneck. At first it's just some older Irish people performing the dance for us, but after an hour or so they start to bring in other people, predominately drunk American girls. They don't even really ask if you want to dance, they sort of just grab you and show you the moves. I'll legit die if I ever am brought up there. Those of you who know me best know I only dance when unforgivably intoxicated, trying to embarrass my sister, or when the Phillies sign Cliff Lee. But Ainsley got in there and held her own with these dance pros. There are tons of hysterical pictures which I'll put up soon. We stayed until pretty much close, hanging out with this really cool German girl we met, aaaand the aforementioned really freakin cute Irish boy, and his friend ;). We went to the Quays after and listened to a guy playing mostly American music, and we finally heard Galway Girl! I'd have to imagine it's incredibly annoying for locals to hear, but we gotta do the tourist thing every now and again. I attempt to lay low and not be such an "ugly American", but my dear friends you know laying low and keeping quiet are not things I'm particularly good at. I gotta say, we are better at not being obnoxious than most American girls here - SJU girls keep it classy wasssuppp? It was a pretty low key night so nothing wild happened, but I had a really great time =)
Anywho, had class today. Going back to campus soon to sign up for different "societies", as they call clubs here. Intramural sports are called "clubs" here and that sign up is tomorrow - potentially tryin'a ball it up here in Ireland, show 'em how we do it in the States. I say this then I'm going to show up and find a bunch of Irish girls with ankle breaking crossovers draining threes in my face. I guess we'll have to see.
Miss you all so much,
Kel
