Here's to Being Single!

13-02-12  Spring Break Plans!

Had a low key day, but came up with a plan for Spring Break!  HELLLOOO, Malta, Venice, Florence, and Rome! I'm super excited; it's going to be Ellen, Ginna, Amanda, and myself.

14-02-12  Valentine Shmalentine.

Happy Valentine's Day!  Had to go drop my phone off today to get fixed boooo.  Dayton (a guy from the US) went into town with me.  So I dropped my phone off, stopped for chocolate  (I had a good reason!), and headed back to school.  I made a Valentine's Day dinner with Ginna and it was super good.  We had Chicken, pasta, vegetables, and pesto.  Then got ready for the night and headed to the Scholar's Club to see Hermitage Green, again!  They are seriously my favorite.  After seeing them for a bit we got on the 1030 bus into town to go to ICON.  So happy Ginna and Marraine got in, it's a 20+ club.  We got to the door and asked if they accepted American id's and they said yes and they asked if we were all over 20, we said yes (lying) and they said have a good time!  Easy as that.  Before the "club" started there was a band called Traffic playing and they played all American music which was so cute with their Irish accents. I met this really "nice" guy (or so I thought) named Allen who bought me a few drinks (very unlikely for Irish guys)  and of course he had a catch.  Totes tried to get me to leave with him, which obvs. I didn't so he just left me in the middle of the dance floor! I was in search of Ginna and became a little flustered when they said it was closing time, everyone had to leave, and I had no phone.  Luckily I ran into some guy named Seamus O'Shaughnessy (believe it or not he's from Boston) who realized I was flustered and offered to wait with me until I found my friend.  Small world, Seamus knew the people that Ginna was with.  We all walked to get Kebabs and then one of the boys drove us home! Just to clarify, the one that drove us home doesn't drink, AND we had been at his house for the Super Bowl so he wasn't a complete stranger.

15-02-12  I love surprise texts!

Somehow managed to wake up for class.  Then got there to find out that I only need to go every other week.  Glad that I know this now!  I then went to pick up my phone and when I turned it on I had a text from that boy Michael I went on the date with! He wished me a Happy Valentine's day which I thought was super nice.  Then went to sign up for a trip to The Blarney Castle and Cork for this coming weekend.  After that went to the gym, then went home to make dinner which was delicious! I had chicken, rice, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, and pees in a stirfry yum!  I'm getting pretty good at cooking meals for one person.

16-02-12  Routine...

Low key day. Class, did a little school work, and went for a pint with my friends before going to bed early.

17-02-12  Treble and toe and toe, treble and toe and toe.

Had dance class today! Way harder but it was actually really good at the same time.  I learned part of a new hornpipe step.  One of the Irish girls actually talked to me and was helping me (super nice)!  Unfortunately, my feet are in total agony after doing toes, trebles, and clicks in hard shoes for an hour and a half not to mention the blisters I've developed.  After dance, I went to the grocery store with Ginna and I'm going to bed early because were leaving for Blarney and Cork in the morning!
