First day Galway


Spent a few days in Connecticut with cousin and grandparents. Saw Inception for the fourth time, walked into the movie theatre with my cousin without paying for tickets. Saw last 10 minutes of Eat Pray Love, looked awful.

Galway's nothing like high-octane Dublin, very easygoing - "if it doesn't get done today then do it tomorrow"-attitude according to the cab driver. Met a US study abroad student on the plane who said he turned down ND for USC. Also met a couple Germans in the apt complex who said something about drinking being popular in Ireland. Apparently I'm so close to the North Pole that in the winter we get like 8 hours of sunlight or something.

Time to binge on Hob-Nobs, think about Fantasy Baseball playoffs, listen to "Sweedish" on Myspace they're good, and think about Inception. Orientation week - good Irish stories to come.
