Today was a pretty good day, mostly because it was so easy. Sarah and I took Dani to work for the first time, and introduced her to the people in the lab. Sandra and Fiona (the grad students overlooking mine and Sarah's projects) left the lab to go collect water samples for the day, and left us with journal articles to read. That was really all we could do, though, so Dearbhaile told us that we didn't have to come back after lunch (YAY). There was almost nobody in the lab today, anyways. The three of us went to tea with Genevieve and had a good time chatting. She also showed us one of the food places on the hospital grounds that is supposed to be really good and really cheap. We'll have to try it later.
After that, we finished our articles and headed back to the apartment at 1PM. I went ahead and sauteed vegetables so they wouldn't go bad, and added them to pasta with some pesto sauce. Yum. I think it's the best pasta I've made here so far. And I made enough to have leftovers! Woo hoo! I watched TV with Sarah and Dani for a while after that, then goofed around online talking to people for a few hours.
At 5, we took the shuttle into the city to meet one of Sarah's friends, Cormac, at the bus station. He's coming to visit Sarah for the week. We walked around town a little bit with him, did some shopping, and ate at the same hotel bar I went to a week or so ago. It was still good. From there, we headed back to the apartments to hang out and watch TV. A few other kids from the UREKA programs stopped by as well, so we had a good group over. Lots of fun.
Shelby called me during this time from the Atlanta airport. She'll be in Ireland tomorrow morning. That excites me so much! All the other LSU kids will be in Galway as well, so it'll be a small bit of home right here. :) It makes me happy that I'll get to see some familiar faces, because I'm not sure if that'll happen any other time. Other than that, I talked to Christy for a long time, which was needed, and then watched a Top Chef episode (haha...I love it). Bedtime now, though.
