The Lough

I can't believe the last time I wrote was Wednesday. It feels so long ago. Well, I made the lasagna and cookies. The lasagna tasted pretty terrible the first night but after the noodles had soaked up some of the moisture and it was not half bad. The cookies were delicious. (I think, Dad, you would give them a B+ and I made sure to cook them long enough) They were oatmeal dark chocolate. Mmmmmm. The supermarket here makes me miss Von's. Tesco isn't bad it just isn't the same and they don't bake as much at home so there are less ingredients. I didn't do anything besides cook on Wednesday. I read Jane Eyre a little and went to bed early.

On Thursday, I went to class as usual. Except I thought class started an hour earlier than it actually did but I guess being early is better than being late. That night I made some more cookies and everyone came over for cookies and tea. Then we went to apartment 11 as usual. We spent the rest of the night at The Bailey, down the road.

Friday was uneventful. I slept and read a lot. Mary Kate had a cold so we stayed in and watched Mighty Ducks 1 & 2.

Saturday we went shopping. I bought two pairs of pants and a shirt all for the low low price of 11 Euro. We ended up at the market and we decided to have a group dinner. Justin made a spicy Italian soup. Well, we all helped make it. We also had bread with goat cheese and Hummus. I learned I do not like goat cheese at all. I made more cookies for dessert. Then we went to hear some Irish music, but we ended up heading home pretty soon after we left.

Today we took a walk to the Lough, which is Irish for lake. It was really beautiful. The pictures will be up tonight or tomorrow. We stopped at the bistro on the lake and had chips and tea. Tonight we are going to watch Harry Potter. Nothing too exciting but I'm sure it will still be great craic.

Next week, I'm going to the rowing meeting and hopefully I can join the ranks. There is a big Rugby match this weekend so we'll go watch it at a pub. Our team is the Munster Rugby, named after the province they play in. They are playing for the Heineken Cup Friday night if you're interested. Wear red to show your support. I may travel to Gallway this weekend with a few of the girls. It is a very picturesque place so hopefully we can make it over there. So that's what's on the horizon. Nothing else to report.

Over and out.
