A Week's Worth of Posts

A waterfall on my campus in the daffodil garden.

They say the grass is greener in Ireland, and they're right.

The beach at Port Stewart. Very pretty.

A snapshot of the town of Coleraine.

Saint Patrick's church in Coleraine.

Wow, it has been quite a while since I last wrote. Sorry about that. Not much has happened the past week. Let's see, there were a couple of events with the International Friends which is put on by a local church and just gets all the international kids together to do stuff. We went to the beach in Port Stewart yesterday, which was very cold but cool. They feed us so we appreciate that.

I've met some pretty cool people. My housemates, of course, and their friends, and a lot of internationals, and also the kids in the CU. Everyone has been very nice, and I feel more like I'm fitting in now.

We went to Spring Hill Thursday after CU with a few of the kids there. It's a cute little pub that plays traditional live Irish music. That was really cool. We sat by the fire and chatted, and then at midnight they gave us little ham and Coleraine cheese sandwiches on wheaton bread. They were amazing. Some of my housemates' friends showed up (I guess they 'live' there), and one of them bought me a coke. So I got a guy to buy me a drink, haha. I will definately be revisiting that little pub.

Otherwise, the week has been filled with class. I have to make a movie about the ocean for my oceanography class. So I think I'm going to make it about sea turtles since I have some footage of them from last summer. Nothing is ever easy, though, so today I am going to try and work out all the kinks in my video and Windows Movie Maker which is a pain.

Next weekend I am going with the CU to a conference near Dublin. It will be somewhat like Sonburst, the Intervarsity conference I attended last semester. I'm excited to go, and since there are only about ten or fifteen other kids going, I think we'll get to know them better. That will be neat.

I am going to try to post some pictures, so hopefully it works so y'all can see what I've been up to. I'm sure Mom will be very excited, print them off, and show them to everyone. So I'll pick good ones. Hope everything is going well back home! I miss you all!
