Life here

So... tomorrow is the first day at school with kids! Terrifying. I know I will do fine, but I'm still super nervous. Also, learning some of these names is going to be tricky. Since I am PE I have 250 names to learn!

This has been an easy place to transition. All the amenities of home, a great PE staff (team of 7), good food, good company, lots of new great friends. Yesterday I bought a few international minutes so I was able to call home. My neighbor who also works at the school is also kind enough to let me steal his wifi so I was finally able to Skype with my mom:-) It was super exciting.

This past weekend was fun per usual. Thursday night I stayed in with one of my friends who has TV and wine. Then Friday I went to Hops Fest at a place called Irish Village which was pretty awesome. Everyone thought it was going to be a nice, calm, classy beer tasting. However, upon arrival we bought vouchers to drink beer inside, then walked through the building to get to a GIANT dark tent, where there was live music, lots of people, and lots of beer. It was super crazy and super fun. Loving life!!

In other news, my roommate takes a lot of pictures, so I shall share them with the world.

 After school social at the Belgian Beer Cafe, it was happy hour:)

 At Irish Village over the first weekend here... Someone thought I looked like Ursula with the lights from the tree.

 Back at Irish Village for dinner two days later....

 This was at Hops Fest at Irish Village (again). My feet were super filthy so I decided to rinse them off and dry them in the "very sanitary" hand dryers. Sorry everyone.
