This trip has been great. We still have not done anything overly exciting (like trips places) which will be the fun posts but i promise they are coming. We got our classes figured out this week. It is VERY stressful trying to get everything to fit, but got it to work. My buddy from ISU, Jordan, and I had dinner with two french girls. They invited us over for a home cooked meal. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! Chicken scallapini (they wanted to do veal, but apparently there is no veal in Ireland) and herb roasted tomatoes with zucchini and squash (forgot what that was called), and great french bread, then for dessert (again forgot what they called it) was something like a crumb cake. It was all absolutely incredible, and the experience was great. Got to talk about everything with a french girl and a Monacan girl very very cool.
Back to classes. Everything is slowed down here. Being on time is not quite as important here. We are used to being early for classes in the states because it is expected of us. Here people just stroll on in whenever they feel. And for grades an 80% is an A1 (A+) 75% (A2). In this program you have to keep a C in all your classes (thats a 45%). Crazy and they said in other departments it is even lower. Just a completely different culture about school and grades.
