Quiet Man

Today during our first class we watched the movie the "Quiet Man". Pretty much it was about a guy who used to be a boxer and killed a guy while fighting. He moved back to Ireland met a girl and wanted to marry her but her brother was a dick eventually he married her and she had money that went with her that her brother wouldn't give her. Her husband eventually fought him and won. At one point in time he drug her 5 miles by the arm and an old lady came up to them and said "here's a stick to beat the pretty lady with". The lit class went as usual but when we went to eat the cream of broccoli soup was literally broccoli creamed and it looked nasty so we got beef lasagna and fries instead. We booked a day trip to the Cliffs of Moher or something like that which i'm excited for. For dinner we had their version of spaghetti which had spiral noodles and mushrooms and sauce and it was really good. There was also garlic bread. After dinner we went out to the pub called O'Neilles. Nick will post pictures either tonight or tomorrow. We rode the double decker bus on the top part and it was kinda scary. If you've rode with me and think i rely on my beaks too much you should come here. they stop literally 6in from the car in front of them and the hit tree limbs. We missed our stop but figured out where we're going and we found out where we're supposed to go tomorrow morning for our tour. The pub was really cool and we both ordered a guinness. They didn't taste too great but we're in ireland so we had to have one. after that we split one other drink but called it quits after that. It's way too expensive and that's not what we're here for.  The bartender was super cute though and he was staying to have a drink with our group for the birthday girl after his shift ended at 12 but we left at around 10:30 because after 11:30 you have to pay for busses and we don't really want to be out late at night in an area we don't know. We'll probably go out a few more times but we won't drink most of the time. It was fun just to be around other people in our group. A kid with blue hair took a liking to nick. They sat there and talked for a bit and then when he got up he said to me "i'm straight but dang he's cute!" he then proceeded to ask me questions about lauren and what hair color she had. it was odd but whatever. We're working on our schedule for the rest of the time here and most of the weekends are pretty full. There's so much to do here :).


p.s. i tried to put a picture of guinness up here but i forgot how to save them on my computer so oh well if you'd like to see you can look them up yourself or wait until tomorrow when nick downloads them
