Some New Friends

So today started out pretty normal. Got up really late (I enjoyed my one day to sleep in ridiculously late), went to Tesco on the free bus to get some groceries (Tesco is their version of Target, except they have groceries there too), and then came back to chat with some friends on Skype. By the way, sorry I don't have video, but you didn't have to ignore me... :(

After that, my friend Sarah who is another American student came and got me to go hang out with a couple of French students she met yesterday. We met up with them and then headed over to some other French students' flat where they proceeded to make us crepes. The crepes were delicious, and the French people were hilarious. They actually speak pretty good English, but sometimes they wouldn't understand what we were saying, and sometimes they would all start speaking French and we would feel left out.

A couple of Spanish students came over and we hung out there for a while, and then we joined them in taking a train to Port Rush where a bunch of French students were having a party. I think in the entire apartment there were about four total Americans and thirty French, Spanish, and Germans. I felt like such a minority...

It was fun, though, and we got to talk to a lot of people. We caught a cab back to campus, and now I am going to bed because tomorrow we are taking a train to Londonderry to spend the day exploring there. And hopefully tomorrow night I'll get to meet the rest of my flat-mates, as they will be coming back to school for classes on Monday.
