First Week of Classes and My 3 Minutes of Fame

Okay so the first week of classes has officially ended, I am feeling pretty confident about the classes. My History for International Students I am very happy with because over half of the class speaks English as their second language. I am starting to think maybe this class is used to help people speak English along with History, and that sounds perfect. I spent two hours taking notes on everything there is to know about the Potato Famine. On Wednesday I went to my Moral Responsibility class at 10am, obviously the 20 Americans that were sitting in the class, myself included, did not get the memo that the class magically changed to 11am. We have noticed that the Americans seem to miss this Irish memo that class times can change just a day before you have the class. Now I hope I have this class down, and I will get to sleep for another hour on Wednesday mornings, so it's all good. Thursday I have Celtic Saints, which is definitely going to be a little rough. The teacher seems nice, and we almost found the classroom flawlessly (which never happens), except for the fact that room 10 was in between room 14 and 26 (still trying to work out how that works in my head).

After class on Thursday we started our Arthur Guinness Day festivities, which is basically a full day honoring the man who start Guinness. It makes you wonder why there is not a Bud Light Day or something that in America. Well basically at 5:59 there was a big toast on the Court House steps where we all had to keep on drinking Guinness, which I am still not the biggest fan of. The best part of the day is that the 5 of us magically ended up in the front row, dead center of the steps while the camera men were filming (obviously happened completely by accident). Luckily this "accident" worked in our favor and now we are on Youtube toasting to Arthur Guinness. Overall it was a great day and so much fun to see the mass amount of people singing on the steps. Here is the video of us from Arthur Guinness Day:
