Lucky Charms

Today i had the usual waffles and nutella for breakfast and then we headed out for the leprechaun museum. while we were on the bus there was a huge group of spanish students that got on and the entire bus ride it was just non stop spanish girls talking very loudly and it was extremely annoying. we got off the bus earlier than we needed to and went and booked our tour for the blarney castle because we were so annoyed. then we set off to find the museum which was actually quite difficult. we finally found a sign that pointed us somewhere and we just kept following that road and never seen any other sign. eventually we were sick of walking so i went into a store and asked them if they knew where it was. they told me but then said "i wouldn't be too upset if you missed it. leprechauns aren't real." obviously i know that leprechauns aren't real. i'm not an idiot. anyways we found the place and it was 8.50 euros to get in. we decided we'd never be here again so we might as well check it out. the first room was just a bunch of stuff that had leprechauns on them and after that we went through a "magic tunnel" that made us small. it was really cool how everything was so big in the room we went into but that was the only cool part about the whole thing. at the very end of it we drew pics of leprechauns and it looks like a 5 year old drew mine. oh well it was still fun. we then went to have some lunch at burger king. everything is so expensive and we got a "king meal deal" for about 5 euros and it was a small drink a small burger and regular fries. it tasted like normal except it had some odd sauce on it. after we ate we looked around at different gift shops and then at the bargain store "pennys". i got a shirt and a necklace and nick got shades and shoes. it was a lot of walking but still a fun day. for dinner we had i think roast beef, potatoes, veggies, some other thing that i think was a mashed up vegetable, and then these bread things that were on top of the meat. it was super good and after dinner i chatted with angela and she told me some funny stories about some of her other foreign students. after that we just hung out in nick's room and worked on our papers. he got a lot more accomplished than i did so i'm going to have to really start working on it tomorrow. angela brought us hot chocolate and cookies tonight again and tomorrow is cian's birthday so it will be cool to see if they celebrate birthdays the same way here :)
