Here I am waiting for 3:30am to come around. We have to catch the Airport Hopper at 4am for our flight at 6:25am. I am now starting the 12 day adventure in Scotland and Britain! I am going to have so much fun! We are going to be serious backpackers. We have so much stuff we want to take but then you have to remember about the stuff you are going to bring back, so we packed an extra duffle. I am so pumped! I am packing granola bars, skittles and these amazing cookies that are so addicting!
I was sick since last thursday, I still sort of am but I am getting better. Anyway being sick always drags me down and I always manage to get sicker than the person I caught it from. ALWAYS! It's a nightmare. Anyway I missed a class this Tues that I knew was going on, I thought it was the first one of the class. (remember my classes [modules] start at weird times) As it turns out there was two lectures on Monday and one on Tues and then I assumed one on Wednesday because it was written on my timetable. So I showed up today and it was a completely different class. I was so confused. I looked on the door and it even sad the class was held there. Then I looked on Moodle (our assignment and class site) for the HW and lecture notes since I couldn't find the class. This class is supposed to be 3 weeks, 4 hours a day Mon-Wed, 6 Lectures, 3 Studio sessions, and 2 assignments that are done in groups of 3. SOOO needless to say I was way behind, confused and in a class that I am not really interested in.
I came to National University of Ireland Maynooth because I was hoping for Design Architectural or Drafting of some sort but that didn't happen. There 'Design Innovation' Program is Product Design. Little bit of a let down. I knew I could do it because creative thinking and design are similar. I also knew I could do the 3 year classes. The one thing I was not expecting was the weird schedule and impossibility of finding the lectures! Plus I am an International student for 1 semester in their 3rd year Product Design, they were not expecting a lot out of me. Kinda makes we want to do really well. Anyway I talked to the professor and International Office and they both advised I should transfer. So I am now going to be taking 2 more History/Early Irish modules. I know I will be able to catch up while I am in Scotland because it will be reading and essay writing. Easy to do on 5 hr train rides.
So today coming out of my sickness and messed up sleep schedule I dreamed of the Looney Tunes! Naturally I watched Space Jam as I was getting ready for the day. Then I downloaded the Looney Tunes App on Windows 8 that has alllll the episodes! Kinda made my day. I got my nails redone all Halloweeny and did all my laundry to pack. I had to run all over campus to get the laundry coins and print boarding passes. Did you know it is €3.20 to get ONE coin for laundry, and you have to have one for wash and one for dry. LAME! EXPENSIVE!
Here I am at the end of my story and watching Looney Tunes waiting to walk to the Bus Stop to get this party STARTED! Remember I am going with my roommate Virginia and friend Lauren. We might end up getting sick of each other. :) maybe we'll see. I will be posting a lot of pictures and possibly updating the Blog. I won't be taking my laptop, I don't want it to be stolen. I'll write as soon as I get back on Nov 4th!
Cheers from Ireland!!
