DUBLIN!!

Hey All!

I don't know what happened to my thursday post, but seeing as it just containted my complaints of packing, its probably best that its lost because now I'm in DUBLIN!!!!!!!!!! After a longgggggg day of travelling (9am -4ish) my friend Amanda and I were set loose in this beautiful city! In just 4 hours here, I already made more friends with the locals than 2 months in Paris!

We were both so exhausted (and full! delish fried food and a kilkenny, mmmm) from our day, that we walked around for half an hour and decided to call it a night. i feel EXTREMELY lame spending one out of my 4 nights in Dublin in a hostel, but Mama would most def NOT approve of me wandering these parts alone!

Tomorrow we are going to a lot of touristy places and my marathon expo. So excited for free goodies!!! Sunday we're taking a country tour (then an early night in, yet again), Monday its my marathon/not finishing the race till i have a hubby, then tuesday is our final day before PRAGUE! I'll try to update as much as possible during the next few days, but I'll safe a longgg post for when I get back so that way I can have pics.

I will tell you some highlights of the day though:
*Putting Amanda's suitcase in the overhead only to give the man in front of me a sharp blow in the head with my elbow (my elbow is still sore)
*Having to pay £35 extra euros to check-in my overweight carry-on
*Almost getting beat up by 2 North English girls because I mistaking thoguht their staring was them being freindly Irish girls.
*Having my cell phone break
*Calling SOS by accident
Yes this list is only of one days of travels. I've come to the conclusion life will never be easy for me. And I'm okay with that! =)

A bientot!

Merci Mercredi

Salut!

So today was just as long and horrible as I thought it would be. I woke up wayyyy to early to compensate for doing nothing last night, but all I got accomplished was laundry and I attempted to clean the mess that is my room. After that it was time to take a shower, but not before doing a quick session of ab workout.

To make up the loss of studying time, (honestly, who does my school think they are making me study when I'm in Paris?!?) I decided instead of running during my three hour class break, I should put my time to good use and actually study.  Except, studying in the little meeting area of our "centre" (the cult name for our school) is impossible because there are too many distractions. I did manage to get in about an hour and the exam really was quite easy! (Phew!)

I'm a little bitter that I didnt run because by the time I  finished the exam at 6:30, it was rainy and dark out, not ideal for running. But I figure since I am running a marathon monday and did such a long run yesterday, a day off will probably do me some good!

I wish I could say I am done procrastinating studying, but nope, one more exam to go then its vacation time!!!

Which is why I  don't know why I've been in such a crappy mood lately. Besides today, the weather has been unseasonably dry and warm. I should be smiling my face off, seeing as I live in Paris (where it normally rains all the time) Everytime, I tell myself this, I tell myself to shut up. ha!

Friday morning (bright an early) I leave for DUBLIN, PRAGUE, AND STOCKHOLM! I'm running the marathon in Dublin (I'll be there from Friday to Weds.) then Prage for 2 days, and Stockholm for 2 days. I'm really, really excited, just a bit exhausted & nervous! I can't wait to soak up the country air in Cork!
