sundays are great

LAST NIGHT WAS SO FUN.

I’ve gone out three Sundays in a row for the pure purpose of watching football and have ended up having an awesome night watching football followed by a ton more fun. We started out at Hole in the Wall because that’s where a lot of Americans watch football aaaand they have 2 euro bottles of Stella and Bud. We hung out with out friend from Providence and met some kids from Chicago and one Irish kid. Naturally, wearing Hollister. Anyway, the guys were really nice so when the game was over we decided to move to a late bar to watch the Jets/Steelers game. Well for whatever reason around here, Sundays are a bangin night. We went to The Front Door and got pretty decent seats in front of the TV to watch the game. Turns out we were sitting behind the entire Connacht hurling team and they had just won some big tournament. Thaaat meant free drinks for Kelly and Ainsley all night. These guys were great. It sucks because they’re older, so they won’t be out every night like the students are. I’m not even sure we’ll see them out much at all. But they were the nicest guys and a lot of them were rather good looking and so we hung out, drank and danced for a few hours all while teaching them football and explaining the intricacies of football rivalries. They also fended off lots of creepy dudes trying to dance with us. Pretty much these guys made us laugh all night. I guess they’re not used to girls drinking beer either because they were a little bit more than impressed with my ability to chug a pint. We left around 3 am and wandered into the Charcoal Grill with Paddy and Rob, ate curry fries (which are fries with some spicy gravy on them… I’m not really a fan) and then finally ended up back home around 4 am. I then proceeded to engage in my very first drunk skype with my mother. I was glad I was drunk because I had to tell her that I got a ring in my right cartilage. She took it well. I promised to have it out when I got home so it’s not a big deal.

Today I may or may not have missed my first class, but made the other two. Had soup and homemade soda bread for lunch. I gotta tell you, I’m going to miss the shit out the soda bread here. There is nothing better. It’s SO YUMMY. I also allowed myself to buy a little bag of peanut MnM’s that I miss so much because I was able to find a 22 euro bottle of vodka on sale for 15 euro. SCORE. Tonight we’re going to Hole in the Wall for the second pregame, then headed to a CLUB. Very excited about this. I loved the club Friday night and I’m looking forward to dancing like an idiot to American music.

That’s about all for now. I heard SJU announced their new president. If the internet would work well here I would be googling him like crazy but oh well. Miss ya’ll bunches =)
