First Days

I arrived in Ireland on Thursday the 19th but haven't had Internet until today!  The first couple days have gone by without too many problems.  I moved into my apartment complex and will have three Irish roommates but they won't be arriving for about a month--when the regular term begins.  I've spent the days just wandering around the city and picking up essentials like sheets, groceries, etc.  This morning I visited the St. Fin Barre's Cathedral in Cork.  We were just walking by, and will go inside eventually once we get our student IDs so that we can get discounts :)  I start my early start class titled Folklore and Ethnology of Ireland on Monday and met my professor yesterday--she seems like she will be nice and that the class will be fun.  Well I'll write again once I have more to say--

Entrance to my school- not the main entrance, but the entrance I will use from my dorms each day

UCC Crest-- located in the entrance way seen above

Bridge over the River Lee I cross to get onto campus from my apartment

Here's the Cathedral from the main gates
