Living with Roommates

Day 4 at the University of Limerick and things are kicking off.
Yesterday was new student orientation and let me just say there was a lot of info and very little questioned answered. Funny how that works. We were given a tour of campus and shown where the main offices are located, though the classroom numbering system is terribly confusing. One of my classes Intro to Lit. Theory is in room CSG01...yeah...so if I understand correctly CS is the Computer Science building, G is ground floor and 01 is the room number. :) Not too hard...until you get to the main building where there are A,B,C,D,E block all connected with long hallways and there is the G (ground) floor an O floor and an M floor, then comes 1,2 and 3. haha I know right! Still confusing.

So after orientation we gathered together and was introduced to some traditional Irish music and dance which really got my into the spirit. I have decided to take Intro to traditional Irish music and dance class which will teach me how to play the penny whistle and another Irish flutes. :)

Not all of my roommates have arrived though, now there are four of us which is really nice. The flat is at least not so empty anymore. I am happy to report that two Irish lads will be filling up the rest of the space this weekend. I am very excited to be the only American in my flat, mainly because I can really emurse myself into the three different cultures that make up my flat. And it is really fun to be the only one representing my country, the last couple of nights we've all be trying to learn about each other. My two french roommates don't speak very good English so its all about acting out what we are trying to say. :)
