theres no way I can keep up this pace

Dearest friends,

There is no way in the world that I can keep up this blogging pace because come Monday classes will start and I'll actually have things to do. But for now I hope you're enjoying my constant updates.

So last night was a BLAST. We saw this band play at The Kings Head. Guess what their name was? F.Y.C. Standing for? Fuck. Yo. Couch. bahahaha. I then proceeded to explain why I thought the name was so funny, and everyone called me "Kelleh Murphaay" the rest of the night. Great. We ended the night at Quays and then some burger joint. We hung out more with the kids from Marquette so hopefully we've found a good group of guys to protect us from the creepers at clubs...

Anywho, I was out until about 4 am and knew waking up for orientation was going to be tough. Funny story. My alarm did not go off. I woke up at 10:33 for my 9:30 orientation. Great. After a few screamed expletives I dragged Ainsley out of bed and booked it to campus which is about a mileish away from our apartment. Turns out we didn't miss much but we stayed on campus until about 3:00 finding our respective departments and then we got a tour. We headed back to the town and ate at McDonalds. Ok, don't laugh but the McDonalds here are LEGIT. They're SO clean and honestly almost posh. It blew my mind a little. I had a "euro saver menu" sundae. Just as good as in the states.

Ok for those of you reading who are thinking about coming to Galway - understand that it has EVERYTHING you need. I was freaking out like bringing all kinds of things and honestly thinking Galway was like a third world country. When I tell you it has everything you need and more, I mean it has EVERYTHING you need and more.

I went for my first run today. It was so awesome and I didn't even think about the distance because I was just staring in awe at how pretty the river is and how much I love it here. Bought liquor today in the grocery store, which was super weird but whatever. Not sure where we're going tonight but we have figured it out so far and will do it again.

I miss all of you so much! I've started to miss random things like Dunkin Donuts and cars that honk at you. The Irish people are so nice they will stop at any point on the road to let you cross. The streets are my favorite here because their flagstone and have no cars on them at all so its just people filling the whole walk way. There's often little bands playing music and the atmosphere is just SO energetic. I wish all of you could be here with me.

Love you!
