erin go blog?

I'm baaack. I knew this blog wouldn't be a one time thing. Yep, I'm at it again, ANOTHER study abroad in another country..and I couldn't be more excited! In less than a week, I will be in Ireland!!! A handful of athletic training students, including myself, are going over there, attending some classes at Dublin City University, visiting the students that were over here last semester, celebrating St. Patrick's day (!!), touring around, and just soaking up as much of Ireland as we can in a week. If it was up to me, I'd be leaving today, but unfortunately I have a bunch of stuff i have to do before friday.


so instead of studying, I'm compiling a list of why Ireland will be greater than Taiwan
1)no squatties. real toilets>glorified holes in the ground
2)we share a common language. sure there's the whole irish accent and stuff, but I sure won't have to do the whole potty dance everytime I have to pee
3) the food fish and chips or stinky tofu....hmmmm
4) americans are not uncommon entities no creepy pointing and NOT sneaky picture taking
5) no peace signs in EVERY picture there are only so many times i can do the "token asian" pose
6) rugby>tai chi i don't think i'll be able to make a mockery out of rugby...wait, yes i can
8) Castles. I am not leaving Dublin until I find myself a husband and a wedding site
7) um SAINT PATRICK'S DAY national holiday, nuff said

I am however sad that I can't yell at people to "read my brog" anymore...oh well, trade offs.
