Craic in Cork: Officially Enrolled

Registration for classes here is SO much different than Holy Cross registration. There is no rise and shine at the crack of dawn, screaming/crying/floods of emails, or any of that great stuff I totally miss (sense the sarcasm)!!! You simply write down the classes you have shopped for and turn the paper in. You would think I would remember to do that, right? Well, my exploring and fun got to me when I remembered at the very last minute this afternoon that I had to hand this paper in, TODAY. Thankfully, it was relatively easy. I think it is safe to say 5 out of my 6 classes are finalized. Crazy! It is September 16th and I am just finishing picking my classes...

After my class craziness, I went for a run to clear my head before getting to my (prolonged) paper. It was another gorgeous day here in Cork City. I needed to soak up the not-rainy air as long as I could. Supposedly the rain is making its way in. Not something I am looking forward to at all! Along my run I stopped at Grace's to say hi and discuss our upcoming Paris trip. My life seems kind of fake even to me right now...

I eventually got to my paper later this evening, and I am almost done! I think it is time I really got into my school mode. It is so hard to focus when living in another country! At least when I am at HC and I am buried in the stacks of Dinand I know I am only missing the buzz around campus. Doing homework in Cork means I am missing out on some precious time exploring the city. This is definitely something I am going to have to get used to. Have I said it enough, thank goodness I have a year here?

Be back tomorrow, hopefully reporting back that I have finished my paper!

XO,

Caitlin
