I forgot to mention that I went out with the girls last night to one of the bars around the corner. It's a cool little place called The Roost, and on Thursday nights, it's student night. It was really fun!

This morning my friends Kayla and Lizzie and I all went shopping at the local Tesco (it's like the Walmart of Maynooth). It was here that I learned that these poor Irish kids barely have any good cereal. 90% of the cereal isle was multiple different versions of bran flakes.
Bran flakes. The only sugary cereal I could find was Nesquik cereal and Krave. I would have actually purchased the Krave, had it not been 6 euro for a box of cereal. It must be a delicacy.

I really miss American food. The things I would do for some Jif cereal, blueberry bagels and animal crackers is straight up crazy. But the snacks here are so funny! I found popcorn flavored cookies and bacon flavored Bear in the Big Blue House snacks. I got a lot of strange looks taking pictures of the food, but it was definitely worth sharing.

Our bags fell apart on the way home, which was sad, but we made it. I was also able to find some gloves, so I'm finally warm. I got them just in time, too, because, even though it was sunny, it kept snowing. There was a dinner tonight for all the international students, and I met some very nice kids from the University of Dayton. We hit it off really well and went for drinks at Brady's (they didn't have a cool sign Dad. Sorry.)

Tomorrow is orientation and another night at The Roost. I'll let you all know how it goes!
