Day 2: The First Pint

Sleep felt SOOOOOO good last night. I went to bed around 9 o'clock (which was much later than most of the others) and we woke up at around 8:30. Today after breakfast (super yummy at our hotel!) we went out to UCD and had our orientation and campus tour. They gave us Charm Alarms to protect against attack -- they are SUPER stylish :P Anyhoo after that we had some lunch and then the afternoon was free so a group of us walked to Dublin Bay and it was very pretty and a lot of fun. The water was surprisingly warm! I can tell already that I am going to lose so much weight with all the walking I'm going to be doing. I had my first beer in Ireland after dinner tonight! The length of day is freaking me out a little. It is after 10 and it is just now getting darker. This is the first time since I've arrived I've seen it this dark!
