So last night i learned what the worst part of this trip was going to be...
 Doing my laundry in a 3 litre sink in my bed room.  Laundry here is 6 euro for one token. One token gets you a washing machine that is about a third of the size of washing machines at home.  So I am saving the money and doing laundry in my room.   NOT EASY! I have close hanging everywhere in my room trying to dry.  The air is so wet here that they are not doing much drying.  I only did socks shirts and boxers, and I cannot imagine if it is even possible to do anything larger than a t-shirt.  We might have to go look at a laundry-mat off campus and see if it is a little cheaper. 
   After a long day of trying to make everything work I finally got my class schedule finalized yesterday.  Their college schedules are very set in stone.  Year one they take x, y, z year two they take x, y, z.  there is not much variety in their schedules.  Well we are taking classes from year 1, 2 and 3.  This made it nearly impossible to get everything to fit, but somehow I got it done.  It was a little stressful, but it all worked out as most stuff in Ireland does.  The faculty genuinely have one thing on their mind, and that is to help students.  There are far less egos and agendas as there are in the states.

Everything is grand (along with cheers grand is the most used word.  They say EVERYTHING is grand)
