Three weeks has gone by and I have still yet to be bored.
Usually when I am back in the states, I have to sleep until 12 as well as
taking a nap. Every day I get up around 9 to get ready for class. I drink a
glass of coffee because coffee is wonderful. Then I sit in class for several
hours. Thankfully, the breaks make class bearable. After class, I spend most
days going to Spiddal. The food at Tih Gibblin is my favorite. The queso there
is wonderful, as well as a lot of the food here. The walk to Spiddal won't ever
get old, I don't think. I am constantly amazed by the ocean and the scenery.
You can almost guarantee that there will be rain every day. Even if it looks
sunny, it will probably rain before the day is done. The rain doesn't bother me
now like it does in the states. Usually when it rains I don't like to leave my
house but you don't have an option here. The weather has grown on me quicker
than I thought it would. The most miserable day that I have had so far is like
a normal winter day in Nebraska. I have also gotten crazy close with everyone
on the trip. Being out of town means you spend most of your time with the
people that are on the trip. Between walking to Spiddal, and just spending lots
of days/nights together, you get real close real quick. Another thing I do
almost daily is go to the ocean. With the ocean being so close to me, it doesn’t
take much to get there and it is a view that won’t get old. For a while, the
wifi was being kind of spotty, so having to go to the school house to get wifi
was a tough adjustment because I’m so used to it being there right away. Going
every day with little wifi was a challenge at first but I don’t think I ever
want wifi with me ever again. I’m much more observant and cognizant of the
world around me because I’m not constantly on my phone. Take time to put your
phone down and enjoy the world.
