First Day in Dublin

So today was the first day that I was in Dublin, and thanks to jetlag it has been kind of a blur.  I was able to meet my lovely housemates Karen, Linda, and Jill and they are all awesome people and I know that we will get along well :) We had some fun bonding time getting a few groceries and the much needed coffee drink before unpacking.  After unpacking we were all so beat that we could fight off sleeping for at least a little before dinner! We made a quick but lovely pasta dinner before walking to the IES headquarters where we will be starting our orientation tomorrow.  We then met up with other IES students at a pub and it was fun meeting people from all around the country in a true Irish setting (and by all around the country I mean the East Coast because nearly everyone seems to be from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, etc.)  My roommate Karen and I attempted to walk by ourselves back to our flat which turned out to be quite the adventure.  You could say that we were lost but I prefer to think that we were exploring the city :) It actually turned out to be super fun because the weather was beautiful and we were able to see more of the city of Dublin.  Now I am back in the flat and probably heading to bed soon because because we have a full day of orientation tomorrow! (btw if I haven't mentioned already our flat is absolutely lovely! Our RA told us that a few months back Cranmer Place was the most expensive real estate in the UK! It is very nice and quaint and we have a living room, study, kitchen full of cooking supplies, three bedrooms and three bathrooms.  It really is more than I could hope for!) But that is all for now! Until next time :D
Cheers!
