Fell Asleep in Ireland. Woke Up in Michigan.

The weather here has been nuts today! When I woke up, it was snowing extremely hard with high winds. Within twenty minutes, the sun was shining and everything had melted. An hour later, it was raining, which then turned into more snow. I felt like I was right back home, but with more wind. 

I turned in my very first paper this morning, and my fingers are crossed that I did it correctly. There were many new rules I had to learn for the way the Irish format their papers, and it got a bit confusing. However, I was able to write about my special meal with Cassie, Suze and Sara on Valentine's Day, since it was for my Anthropology of food course. It was actually very enjoyable to write and I had fun being creative with it. 

Suze and I decided to try the gym today to see what it would be like, since we couldn't go running outdoors because of the wind and snow. We found that it was the worst place on campus. It was practically a hallway, in which a handful of weight machines, ten broken treadmills, four bikes, and six ellipticals were shoved in. I actually fell off of an elliptical, and when I tried to use weight machines, I was usually stopped by groups of three or four overly muscular men who were taking turns using one machine while chatting with each other. 

We had a quick night out at The Roost tonight, and it was a pretty nice time. We didn't spend much time there, because we have class, but it was a nice night!

It's rumored that tomorrow there's a pillow fight in the Student Union, so that will have to be explored. Hopefully we can get to bed with the wind howling outside. Until tomorrow!
