You're From Where?

Hey all!
Sorry for the lack of response, and details for that matter. Internet was slim for awhile, but now we have a wireless router, a good internet cafe down the street, and good wireless up at campus. I'm a first time blogger, so I'm getting used to that as well, but more to come more frequently!

I am doing well here! I made it fine on the plane and bus. Planes were a little scary with a lot of turbulance, but everything went well. The in-flight movies were City of Ember (kind of weird but good) and Wall-e! bus ride was good because there were not many people and it was very luxurious, so i got some much needed sleep. I ran into a guy I met at the info meetings at MU, named Adam, at the Dublin airport. I think he was on my flight too? Anyway, we buddied up then so it was nice to have a sidekick the last leg of the trip.

Found the Nailand house somewhat okay. It was a nice walk from the bus stop. I am living in a house behind the Nialand house apartments with 6 other guys. It is an old, rustic, concrete vintage two story house on a secondary level, with 8 beds, and it looks over the harbor and bay . . . easily the best living situation I could ask for! So beautiful to see, very cool feeling, and there is room for guests! My street is a very busy street, but not far from any of the other walking streets. Its about a 15-20min walk to campus, but you walk by rivers and canals, and its just a way cool trip. My roomies are very good guys, two of which I know, all from MU except for one from St. Joe's, but we all get along well.

I'll work hard to keep in touch and keep you posted with what I am up to, and will be sure to update the Blog.

Cheers!
