Long week

It's been a long week of errand running and queue (they don't call them lines here) waiting. On Monday, I moved into a new house. The flat I was in earlier was just temporary. The new place is pretty swanky. Its on 3 floors with a really nice kitchen, and 3 balconies and 2 patios. It was built in the last 3 years, I think. I'm living with 2 other Americans and 3 Irish girls right now. One more girl will be moving in soon. There'll be 7 of us in total, that'll be interesting... But we're getting on so far.
On Wednesday, I had to go to the GNIB, the Garda National Immigration Bureau, to register. They gave me a resident card which allows me to leave and re-enter the country. It cost a cool 150euro. But now I'm free to go where ever for the time I'm here.

I also went to the freshman electrical engineering induction at DIT Kevin St, not a whole lot of new stuff there, but I got my DIT id card, and my class schedule. No classes on Friday, so far!! Their schedule is up in the air for like the first two weeks, so anything could happen. No 7:30am classes at DIT either! My earliest class is 9am, 9am!! back at Purdue I'd have 1.5 lectures by then. Classes start tomorrow, and I'm excited and nervouse all at the same time. I hope I don't go to the wrong room like I did my first day at Purdue.
