Week One is Done

Day 6: June 22, 2012


            Today started out very refreshing. I slept for about 7 hours last night and that might be the most sleep I’ve gotten since arriving. The Irish Film class got to meet second today so we had class at 11:15. When we arrived the Travel Writing class was still there to discuss tomorrows plans for traveling to Cork. We are leaving at 9:00am. I am pretty sure it is going to be a rough morning for 100% of our group. It’s 11:35pm now while I’m writing this and I have still not started packing. Oh well..
            I cannot believe the first part of our trip is already over! I have had such a great time with the group so far. I do not think anyone expected us to all get along as well as we have. We travel in flocks. The smallest group I’ve done anything with has been four (¼ of our group). The majority of the time we are either split in two groups or all together. I feel like I have known these people longer than the week we have been here. I cannot wait to see how we all grow closer over the next five weeks!
            Today was probably the least hectic day out of the week. Nothing too exciting happened.  In the afternoon I did a little shopping and wrote a few postcards. I will close out week one of my Ireland trip with a few of my favorite pictures from the journey so far.

Just in case you were thinking about it, a warning not to drive your car off the road and into the water.
