I must apologize...

...it feels like a long time since I last wrote. Almost a week in fact. I'm not totally sure where I left off. Oh yeah, our "garden." Joy - We planted flowers, sweet pea and wildflowers and strawberries. On Friday of that week we went to Waterford Co. and went on the tour of the Waterford Crystal Factory. That was one of those days where everything went right. Sam and Care and I made the bus perfectly on time, when we got on the bus the man driving was so kind, he gave me a map of the city and dropped us off right in front of the factory - which isn't even a bus stop! After the tour was over he was still the driver and he chatted with us about the factory and told us that his brother works there. We asked if he had been working that day, and when the bus driver said yes we laughed and told him that we probably took pictures of his brother since we took pictures of everything going on!
It was really cool to see how everything was created and all the different stops along the way. I have so many pictures from that day! Oh we also got interred in a jail. We were the last group for the tours of the day and so when we returned to the main entrance of the tower we noticed that the door was locked. Sorry mum, they must have found out I stole dirt from UCC. We had dinner at an Italian restaurant with Indian waiters, very unique. The food was very good though.
The next day we hopped on a bus and went to Kinsale and walked around. It's a very cute little town, we'll definitely go back there again when it is nicer.
This week is Rag Week, and no I'm not being too personal right now. Rag Week is a festival at UCC where shows and parties are put on to raise money for charity. There are events on campus all day including bands and juggling and eating contests and at night clubs open their doors for charity as well. It's wonderful. Unfortunately it means that there are parties every single night. Bummer. Tonight is Mystery UCC Tour, you buy a ticket for 10 Euro and a bus picks you up (by you I mean like 700 students) and drops you off in a town at a club and picks you up at the end of the night and drives you home. Rumors are that tonight's destination is Limerick.
PICTURES ARE UP! Yes I was finally able to add pictures and be online for more than 30 seconds at a time which is totally awesome! So clearly I added a whole bunch of pictures and you can see them. They are all in one folder and I attempted to give them titles but they are from my visit to Waterford Crystal, our visit to Kinsale, a night at the bar and thenight we stole dirt from UCC. Check them out: My Pictures!!
I have to run! Talk to you later!
