Fecking hell I'm appalling for writing regularly on this..it's been over two weeks like, I'm some joke!! Trying to remember what I've done over those few weeks is going to be tough :/ Well I guess one of the main things was that we started football training last Wednesday (March 16)..Jesus we had some laugh!! There were only 6 people there overall; four lads and two girls, but honestly it was so much fun!! Ken, Kevin, Bryan and Sean were so sound and friendly, and Carrie was really nice too! Thankfully I've played football for years, so I felt that I blended in somewhat okay with the lads...poor Carrie was new to the sport, so she needs a bit more practice, but even the difference between her skill level from the start of training to the end was phenomenal, so she'll do just fine!! Since then I've recruited at least five more girls, so we'll be flying it for our tournament in April, all going well!!
The other big celebration we had was Trisha's 21st and Patrick's Day, which we celebrated together!! For Patrick's Day, we started with a few drinks in the Dubliner at about 3pm and we watched the All-Ireland Club hurling and football finals..to be fair, the pub was pretty quiet so there wasnt much of an atmosphere! We went home at about half six to have a bite to eat and we invited some friends from college over to our place to drink before heading back into Old Town...we eventually got back into the Dubliner at about midnight, and the place was bopping!! Great atmosphere, and the live music was flying! I ended up meeting with the lads from WIT that we had tried to meet with for a few weeks, they're fierce craic!! We ended up going to Lavka club and we had free entry cos of being Irish!! Friday was spent just chilling cos of the good old hangover :)
On Saturday, myself and Emma headed to the Dubliner to watch the Ireland v England rugby game, what a bloody awesome performance from the boys in green! There was a super atmosphere for that game too, and we met up with a few of the GAA lads, but they were leaving for another pub, which was called James Joyce..myself and Emma went there when we were finished our drinks and we met up with some more of the GAA lads..turns out that one of the lad's fathers lives only five minutes from me back home!! Its a small world...
I went to the cinema with a friend then on Sunday night, and we saw Battle:Los Angeles..twas a good film in fairness!!
I think thats about it for now, I'll do my best to be a more regular blogger :)
'Til next time!!
It's not all it's cracked up to be..

March 4, 2011
Jesus Christ I'm a disgrace for keeping up to date with this blog! Needless to say, it kinda shows that it was a pretty uneventful few days as I didnt have the urge to write frantically on this! Anyways...
Well we were due to start college on Monday, so we called into Martina in the International Office to finalise our module choices and to get details of our tutors and lecturers..turns out that we didnt actually have any classes on the Monday, so it was pretty handy! Monday evening was pretty uneventful too if i can remember correctly...
Tuesday was much the same as Monday to be fair, we had to go back into the International Office to finish the paperwork and yet again, we didnt have any classes sorted yet, as the tutors werent told of us yet! So we went for a walk around Stare Mesto which was really nice...a bit chilly, but it was lovely to walk around and relax for a while! Myself, Janna and Trisha then decided to go to a Beach Party that night in Aloha Music Bar...that was a complete disaster cos we couldnt find the bloody club! We then wandered into a club in an old church which was pretty cool, but it was fairly annoying that we couldnt find the Beach Party cos we were all dressed up and ready to party!!
On Wednesday, we ACTUALLY had college!! It was our Erasmus class, and I was kinda disappointed to learn that not all of the Erasmus people chose to take the class...to be fair, all you have to do is sit there in the class and actively participate in discussions, and you get 3 ECTS credits..not that hard like!! It was nice though, I think i'll really like that class!!
Talk cha :)
