Thursday News

That's my house! I live in the bedroom on the second floor with the windows looking out onto the street. Isn't our bright blue door quaint?

Today I had movement class again, which terrified me on Tuesday, but today's class was not quite to frightening. It was better. This weekend I am going to Bray, a seaside town, and plan to see the beach and the aquarium as well as do a little hiking on the cliffs.

Tomorrow we have follow-up orientation and a 'scavenger hunt.' I'm not much for mandatory fun, but hopefully they'll give us free food or something as a reward for getting to the end. Also, the Fringe Festival is in full swing and I'll probably have to see a show or two from that line up, although it appeals to me less than the Dublin Theatre Festival.

I'm trying hard to budget, but buying groceries and amenities for a house of 7 girls is difficult, especially when we have to decide who buys paper towels, toilet paper, dish soap, laundry detergent, etc. Also, Peter and I are trying to budget for food together, so that's been a bit of a challenge. I am used to eating well and cooking full, delicious meals, but I'm learning to sacrifice the variety and flavor to eat more frugally while still maintaining nutritional value. We'll see how I do!
