All Dressed Up With No Where to Move

I woke up rather determined to cook my own breakfast instead of having the same old cereal I do every morning. So, using Mom's potato instructions, I made myself a pretty delicious meal that made running to class a little difficult. It was definitely worth it, though. Irish food, though it goes bad quicker because of the lack of preservatives, tastes much better (probably for the same reason).

I'm basically Ina Garten

It was extremely foggy today, so I couldn't take photos of campus, nor could I even go for a run. It was kind of cool for a while, to see the fog over the fields and in the forest, but then it just got annoying not being able to see what was in front of me. 

I admit, the weather here has brought me down a bit. The sun really does have an effect on one's mood, and I've really been missing its rays. My room mate, Sarah, took notice of this, and passed a sale while she was out, and said she couldn't resist getting me this Elvis pillow cover. I don't have a pillow to fit it, but he's become the center of my room, and I'm certainly a lot happier now with his face smiling at me.

Isn't it great?

Wednesday nights are the big night at the bar, Brady's (it's just down the road from The Roost). My room mates and I decided to go, since we hadn't done anything together, nor had we been there before. 

The Irish club scene is a bit of a mess. It starts out with everyone kind of awkwardly standing around outside the dance floor. There's groups of girls talking and laughing together, while groups of guys just stare at the groups of girls. Then, in the blink of an eye, everyone is mobbing the dance floor, you're getting elbowed in the chest, the guy next to you just got shoved down, and people are raising their glasses above their heads, thinking that will help it not spill, only to have it rain down like the Heineken shower that you never wanted. Sardines have more room to party than we do. But, overall it was a pretty great time. My shirt got stuck on a few things, including people, but I had fun dancing with my friends.

Before going out

Thursday night is The Roost's main night, and I plan on wearing something that won't physically attach me to strangers (I figure I'll be safer that way). I can' t wait to tell you all!
