Putting One Foot in Front of the Other

It looks like I'm cursed, friends. I broke my only pants belt, I lost my hat, and an earring went missing last night (add in the fact that I'm tired, and you have my reasons I didn't post last night. Very sorry). Also, I found out at orientation that my school is famous for ghosts. There's even a ghost room on campus. So, everything is going SUPER well.

Anyway, I've really been enjoying my time here. My heating was fixed which is a blessing because of all the snow. Yesterday, we started orientation and I was able to tour my campus and learn about what students are like here in Maynooth. My favorite part was the church on campus that is only open on Christmas and Easter, but the study abroad students were allowed to tour. It's Saint Patrick's (obviously) and although I don't like taking pictures in churches, I got a few shots because I so badly wanted to share its beauty with you all (and I knew my father would murder me if I didn't).

It's a beautiful place

It's actually overwhelming. Brought a few girls to tears

I really liked that they had chairs instead of pews

I definitely want to come here for Easter Mass

This one is all for you, Dad

Beautiful stained glass window

I've found a great group of beautiful people (inside and out) that are just tons of fun and very kind. Last night, we all went dancing at The Roost and had a blast. They played older music, like the kind they played at my middle school dances. But, it was still fun! A lot of Saint Mary's girls were there and we kind of stole the dance floor dancing with each other.

Grace and me :)

My friends, Steph and Kayla

Our whole posse

Today, we signed up for classes (I have none on Friday!) and listened to a few lectures (boring stuff really). I'm very excited, because I convinced my room mates that we should make dinner together once or twice a month, and so we'll be having tacos together on Sunday night. Tomorrow, the Saint Mary's girls are traveling to Wicklow Mountains, so it should be an adventure. I'm so glad I get to share my experience with you all this way. I love the comments and they make me so happy that you all care. :) Until tomorrow!
