| What American accent do you have? Your Result: North Central "North Central" is what professional linguists call the Minnesota accent. If you saw "Fargo" you probably didn't think the characters sounded very out of the ordinary. Outsiders probably mistake you for a Canadian a lot. | | The Midland | | | The West | | | Boston | | | The Inland North | | | Philadelphia | | | The South | | | The Northeast | | What American accent do you have?

False alarm, maybe?
We'll see how long it keeps working... in the mean time, I am moving everything to my external hardrive. |

This is what I did today instead of stressing out! yay! This is only the 2nd serious cake I've ever made, and I've never used this type of frosting before, so I'm really happy with how it turned out... except my writing. But I guess that takes practice, lol. |

Hi everyone! Today is my last day in Ireland. Tomorrow we're all getting up at like, 6am and then we have to leave at 7am to drive to Shannon airport. I still have to pack and we have to clean up our apartment's common room.
I never got around to sending postcards - sorry! but I do have lots of souvenirs for people to make up for it! :D yay!
Anyways, we're about to go downtown for the last time, so I gotta go!
I can't wait to get home and talk to everyone!! <3

Hey everyone~
I'm in Cork now - I arrived on Sunday. I've been busybusybusy/very tired. There is significantly more walking to be done in Cork than there was in Dublin... mostly because there isn't a convinience mart 2 seconds from res, and my class isn't 1 second from res... Instead it's a 20 minute (if you walk nice and fast) minue walk to both where we eat and where class is. However, the campus is gorgeous when you get there, so it's almost worth it.
I think tomorrow we're going to Blarney!! Which is the best because that means we wont have to go to class for half the day. Apparently the head guy wanted us to WALK all the way to Blarney, but apparently the teachers talked him out of it. Thank god.
Oh yeah, funny story about walking... ugh, no, I'll tell it later. It involves walking barefoot...
Anyway, I have a ton of pictures to upload, but it'll be sweet because I no longer have to pay for my internet. Just walk really far.
OH! OH! Bad thing that happened today: Got hit in the face with a soccer ball. Mmm... that sucked. And it wasn't even by locals - it was just by the other girls playing soccer on our lunch break. Ugh.
Funny thing: we got kicked out of our classroom and had half an hour of class outside. Then we got to go work in the library - probably the biggest library I've ever been in. It was nice - lots of really old books.
Anyway, I'll update later with pictures and such... Man so many pictures.
Gak... I don't even remember what we've done since I updated. I know there's the Yacht Club Dinner and uh... the transfer to Cork when we went to a castle!! But now I really can't remember. We've done too much. So I will update later when I know.
Okay,
bye! |

Hey Everyonee!!!
So, let's start off with the games I went to! It was Gaelic Football and Hurling, and it was very very cool. Gaelic football is like soccer, but it's much more violent and you can use your hands! Super cool! :D Then the main game started and it was a Hurling match between Kilkenny and Wexford - me and Meagan rooted for Wexford, but they lost :< I was sad. Oh yeah, Hurling - if you don't know - is like, fieldhockey with bigger sticks and more violence :D and they hit the ball really high in the air! It's amazing! There were tons of watchers. It was so cool being there!
*Look how many people were there! And that's only half!!
I've kinda lost track of what I've been up to in chronological order, so I'm just gonna talk about it. Mostly I've been doing schoolwork, seeing movies, walking around Dublin and going on day trips. Mostly. Actually, that's all I've been doing, hahaha. Here are some more pictures of my dorm:
*Here's my room, all nice and tidy... It's not so nice anymore, but I try to keep it clean. Plus a cleaning lady comes every morning to make my bed :D
*This is the common room :D
*The kitchen in the common room where I make hot chocolate. Which reminds me, I need to buy the CADBURY HOT CHOCOLATE I SAW!!
*Here is me in the common room, it was 7:30am, so I wasn't very cheery :P
* The view from my window
Anyways, we started class this week. The building we're in is off campus, and hence, it is crappy. It's very hot, and dingy. It reminds me of QE, but not cute.
... Okay, damn, I forgot to upload it. I'll get it later. It is shitty, that is all you need to know.
*For example, look at the ceiling. Unsettling bits of fluff fal down onto us during class.
Me and Meagan have begun to haunt this crepe place called Half Moon. It is tasty.
*Here is a crepe
*Here is my plate with no crepe left
On the topic of food:
* Tasty
*Tasty
Here are the rest of my pictures, quickly, because I am tired and I have been in this cafe for a long time. And I need to pee.
*Meagan at the entrance of Kilmainham Gaol (Jail) where almost every important person in the Irish revolution was held captive.
A list of men from the Irish revolution who were executed at Kilmainham Gaol/Jail.
*Where they were executed. (They stood against the wall, and were shot by a firing squad :<)
*A Meagan sized door in the jail. People were short back then.
Lots of things to buy and spend on... :D
*The contents of my wallet like... 3 days ago.
They have TWO CENT COINS. HOW USELESS IS THAT?!?!
And we went to Tara hill and Newgrange (a really old, like Neolithic old, burial shrine thing which I forgot to bring pictures of...)
*On top of the hill... You can tell, but you could see really far in all directions :D It was neat.
GOODBYE FROM JACKIE AND MEAGAN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (Look mom! I really am having fun!) |

Hey Everyone!! I'm in Ireland, wooooo!
I'm currently sitting in an internet cafe called ``Chat 'r' Net.`` We've been having problems getting internet on campus, soo... I don't have any other option than to sit in this cafe and pay :) It's actually pretty cheap - 5c a minute. I mean, it's going to add up since I've already been on here for like, 35 minutes, but whatever!
Okaaay, sooo... The plane ride was the crushing vortex of boredom. We sat in at the gate for like, 2.5 hours, waiting to get on the plane, then took off like, another forty-five minutes later. I was pretty scared during takeoff, but after we were up in the air, it was okay. I found it really fun that we were OVER the clouds, and I think I took way too many pictures of it.
Pictures:
OVER THE CLOUDS!
Crazy bus!
The country side
It was almost impossible to sleep on the plane as it was so cramped SO CRAMPED. It was toture. I wanted to get off that flight so bad, but it was almost 6 hours long!! uggh, remembering it makes me cringe. Anyway, I was bored, so I took some video footage:
(Meagan says hello!)
... Okay, this one isn't going to work right now, I'll post it later.
On the first day we got our rooms, were shown the campus (beautiful... well, not where we stay, but the actual Trinity college, and then passed out at 8 o'clock. I took a shower before that in my ENSUITE BATHROOM. Hahaha! I was one of the lucky few that got her own bathroom. Bwahaha!
Pictures:
My bed~
My desk~
My entrance (the closet, and front door. The bathroom door is on the right too, but you can't really see it)
One of the pictures I've taken at Trinity (Out of many)
Yesterday, the second day, we were shown around Dublin, and then set free... we did some shopping for souvenirs etc. and water (we're buying bigass bottles because the tapwater sucks and it'll probably save us a little money. We store the bottles in the common room that has a cute mini fridge). I love seeing all the different things they have here! Weird chocolate bars...
Pictures:
The courtyard at residence (called Goldsmith hall)
Cute juice!
Also we saw this really sad, but really awesome movie about the Irish revolution, with the very cute Cillian Murphy (probably known to you guys as the weirdo in the plane movie with Rachel McAdams).
Cillian Murphy being cute and SERIOUS:
Today we went to some sweet Irish games, which I'll tell you about next time I post because I am tired of typing and also, I will have pictures and video then. :) Annnd we saw another movie called ``Thank you for smoking.`` It was funny :)
Temple Bar is my favourite place so far, mostly because of these guys -> click! .
annnyyyyways, I'll have lots more pictures next time, but we've only got 30 minutes till curfew, so I have to go! you better all comment on this!
Byee!
Love,
Jackie |
