Michael and I on the way to the airport!
My bed.
My desk.
My bathroom which I will NEVER enter without proper footwear.
Finally I am here and it still seems so surreal. Ireland is beautiful and i am so excited about seeing everything it has to offer but I am actually a little worried that this is going to be a lot harder than I expected. Before I go into that I will tell you about my trip.

We left last night at 10:10 pm and it was the worst flight I have ever been on in my life. I took a tylenol pm hoping it would put me right to sleep but that did not happen by any means. I fell asleep for maybe two hours and woke up because my (excuse me Caleb if Erin is reading this to you) butt hurt so bad from sitting on it. From then on I could not get back to sleep no matter what I did.
But luckily we arrived in Ireland and were out of the airport in less than 30 minutes. I met with my group leader, Eileen, and one other girl from my group, Jessica, and headed on my way. Well after a few tears from my mom and a couple hugs goodbye. Jessica and I headed to UL in a taxi and I sat in the passenger seat which was a bad decision. I could have sworn we were going to crash atleast ten times. But it was so pretty to see Ireland, even though we weren't even in the countryside where all the real beauty is. I then went to my room and began setting up my room. To mom and Michael's surprise this was a perfect time for them to come and see my room.
After setting up my room our group left for the market to go get groceries. I would say besides two of my bags busting and my groceries spilling everywhere smooshing my bread I did pretty good for my first time shopping for myself. Oh and also it costs to put your groceries in bags and you cant take the buggies out of the store.
When I got back I was able to meet one of my five roommates. Here name is Ana, she is irish, and a very sweet girl. Which she explained to me the sport of Trampolining which I am definetly interested in! ha
Our group finally went to eat and now I am back in my room and thinking about going to sleep early.
Also the weather here has been incredible. I have worn a long sleeve shirt, jeans, and close toed shoes, and have gotten neither hot or cold. It has been wonderful! And we only got a few sprinkles today!
