so week one is now over. i am feeling really good about this whole thing. i have my nice little group of friends, plus the international kids are always up to something if i get bored. but i never have much time for being bored. me and my most favorite person here jarkko watch so many movies. i begged my dad to send me every dvd he could find in the house.
i spend a good amount of time in pubs drinking wkd and sips of whatever everyone else is drinking. on tuesday night i went to the empire with gina, emily, louise, jessie, and some other girl for comedy night and it was really funny. unfortunately if you want to get a seat you need to show up two hours early, so we were stuck standing for 3 hours which wasn't too pleasant. my favorite hangout is speak easy in the student union, followed the the eg and the parlour. everyone likes limelight and the bot but i hate getting dragged there.
i have four classes and my schedule looks like this:
monday -
11-1: Schizophrenia and Depression
2-3: Women and Work in Northern Ireland
tuesday -
11-1: Psychology, Religion, and Morals
1-2: Women and Work in NI
wednesday -
11-1: Social Identity
thursday -
11-12: Women and Work in NI tutorial
so i have 9 hours of class a week which is really nothing if you think about it. plus i have 3 day weekends which will be perfect for traveling. so far all my classes seem relatively easy even though they are all upper level classes. hopefully they will do me some good back at nu. i skipped my tutorial today because its the first week of class and i doubt they even ran one. i am hoping i can change it to a day earlier in the week and have 4 day weekends but we'll see.
today i slept until around 3pm i think. i still have not gotten out of bed. its been so hard getting up at 10am every day when i never really get to sleep before 3am. plus i have to take the trazadone everynight because jarkko snores.
well i guess thats really all i have to say for now. once i finish catching up with everything online i will hop in the shower, make myself some lunch, and then go check the mail and buy some water. tomorrow i will go buy my books and maybe consider working on some homework. today gina and emily left for paris for emilys 21st bday. they are going to eurodisney until sunday and i will be sooo lonely on the floor. tomorrow jarkko leaves for finland for his sisters wedding and wont be back until monday. so this weekend will mostly suck. saturday louise's sister is coming for a visit so we are going to go out to lunch, take a bus tour of belfast, and do some shopping. i need to buy some dishes and cups and a pot.
i really want to try writing more often because i know this trip is something i will want to remember. i just want you all to know i am having so much fun here and i'm really happy. but i do miss my baby (fox fox) more than anything in the world. i have dreams about her and i wake up sure i can feel here sleeping next to me, but its always just a blanket.
