Just another rainy day in Éire

Blijf op de hoogte en volg Inge
06 Maart 2014 | Ierland, Limerick
Dia diabh! = Hello everyone! in Gaelic, meaning God is with you all.. As this was until recently (or maybe still is) a very Catholic country.
It has been six weeks since my arrival. Six weeks full of mostly wet and windy memories because let's face it; spring is still extremely far away. It took me quite a while to get settled. The first two weeks were crazy! I could attend any class to see what it was like before I had to make a definite decision, which of course led to experimenting with a lot of different subjects.
My final timetable ended up containing the following subjects: Gaeilge ab Initio (Irish Gaelic for beginners), English for Academic Purposes, Irish Poetry & Prose, Modern US History and last but definitely not least Abnormal Psychology. Tá sé dhúshlánach (= it is challenging) but fun!
There are a lot of international students around here and I see most of them every Thursday evening at the place to be: O'Dwyers (which is very conveniently situated at the end of my street). The Mary I band plays here every Thursday and they're grand! This is a very cool meeting place where a great mix of international and Irish students comes together.
I'm sorry but I really need to get going now. In my next blog I will tell ye (= is the plural of you :P) a bit more about my traveling!
Sonas ort!

Hi Inge, I'm afraid that spring in Nijmegen does NOT seem far away but someone probably already told you -:)! You're in good old Ireland so long spells of sunny weather have never been number one on Ireland's list of assets. Hopefully you're learning a lot (your Gaelic is quite good and abnormal psychology must be very interesting as well) and enjoying yourself, Keep us posted, greetz, sonas ort (?) Jan -
