Third Time's A Charm: In Love With Dublin

Yesterday, Sara, Cassie, Suze and I woke up early and took on Dublin for a shopping day. We tried to explore every mall, but many of the shopping centers were so huge, we couldn't get through them all. We found many stores we recognized, like Forever 21 and H&M, but still took the time to explore many of the stores the Irish girls had told us about, like Penneys and New Age. I laughed very hard when I saw that they had a TKs instead of TJs. It wasn't at all like TJs, because everything was still very pricey.

We went back to The Boar's Head for lunch, we've kind of decided to make that our place. The staff is starting to recognize us and gives us "our table" now. I didn't find very much, but the other girls did, and we still had a ton of fun.

Though it was off and on raining, it was a beautiful day nonetheless. Now, I know the streets in one corner of the city by heart, and that's a pretty awesome thing.

Sunday was a homework day for all of us. We spent the day in the common room, often getting distracted, but still working. We wanted to treat ourselves to a meal that we didn't make ourselves, and decided that we'd hit up The Roost for dinner, and invited our neighbors. First, we went to mass, where the priest was late and then very open about oversleeping and forgetting that mass was at 6 and not 6:30, which we all found incredibly funny. At The Roost, I had chicken fajitas, which was a nice change of pace from eggs and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. 

My first paper is due tomorrow, so I'm going to try to make it the best I can. Can't wait to tell ya'll about my Monday!
