New Roommate and Shopping

We did end up going out again last night, to the same places we went last time. But lots of fun was had still. I forgot to mention that we got a new roommate yesterday. Her name is Dani, and she's from UGA. She's actually going to be working with Sarah and I in the Bacteriology Dept, so that's fun. She's really cool so far, so I think we'll get along just fine. Anyways, we got back pretty late, so I slept until around noon and took a shower. We decided to head into town to do some grocery shopping, so we walked to the reception office to catch the bus to Eyre Square.

Our first stop in town was Dunnes, so I could buy a belt. Mine decided to randomly snap on me in our hostel on Saturday morning and it was driving me crazy. I ended up getting three belts and a wallet (2 came together, and it was buy 2 get 1 free...I am so my mother's son). The girls (Marit and Dani) did some shoe shopping and then all of us stocked up on groceries for the week. I find myself mainly buying pasta, since I know I can cook it well. But I have yet to have the same kind twice...I keep making sauce/ingredient changes. I'm mastering the art of sautee, though. :)

We headed back to our apartment afterwards, and just hung around watching TV. I updated some blogs from my trip, then watched a few episodes of the Simpsons. We then got the bright idea to order Chinese food, but found that it's quite different here. There aren't any of the typical dishes, and apparently curry is Chinese here (lol). We ended up with some decent food though. We also threw a party to watch "Pirate Master", which I must say is hilarious. Some of you may have heard of it - it's a CBS reality show that started right before I left the states. It's just so funny...cause it's so cheesy. We didn't do much else last night but that, and then I went to bed. Work in the morning, ya know.

Another Irish phrase for you. Instead of saying "y'all", they say "ye". So you have "all of ye", "do ye need anything?", and "ye can go away". Awesome. Oh yeah, and "go away" is the same as "leave". :)
