I visited Ireland from the eighth through the twelfth, soon after my second timed essay for history.
I think it went alright.
I'll find out after I get back home.
I have my physical chemistry final on Friday...I haven't really started studying for it yet. I know, I know...First I go posting the cliff pictures on Mother's day, now I'll have her all worried that I'm not studying and I'm letting my grades go to the pit. Naw Mom, I'll be alright. I'm just having a lazy day, that's all. I needed to catch up on sleep anyway.
So on Wednesday I hadn't even started packing until 4. I just missed the airport bus that leaves at 6 ( I got there at 6:05). What's annoying is that the bridge that leads from Pulteney Road to the train station is under repair until after I leave, which means it takes me an extra 10 minutes to walk to the bus stop. I have to use Lower Bristol road bridge near the bus station. (You guys should be capable of using google maps if you want to see what I mean.) I decided to check a bag into hold this time since I'd be staying 4 nights. I probably could have managed just the backpack but it was nice not to have to get out the baggie of fluids and it was much less of a hassle. I'm pretty used to this flying stuff now. On my flight back I managed to sleep nearly the entire way, which is only about an hour flight. Anyway my plane was the last to leave Bristol at about 10:30. I got into Dublin airport a bit late and took the bus to my hostel. Oh, and Dublin airport has free wifi, which is awesome! I love airports with free wifi! Three other girls were looking for the hostel as well. I think we were all looking for some big lit-up sign, so it took us about a half hour to find even though it was like, a minute walk from the bus stop. We got Talbot Street and Talbot Place confused. I got to sleep around 1:30 or 2:00 in the morning.
Thursday I got up at 6 for my giant's causeway tour. The pick up place was only about a one or two minute walk, so that was nice. Bought a coke. Slept a bit on the bus. Our tour guide/driver was pretty funny. He knew a lot about his route and the history of Ireland.
So I'm tired of writing and I said I'd go to Molloy's and I need to eat something first so I'll get back to editing this later.
