1 week!

Tomorrow will mark one week in Cork! With about twenty-five new friends, a TON of once in a life time experiences, and being in a totally new environment, it feels like we have been here for much longer.  But I am loving every minute of it!

One of the most challenging, but incredible experiences I have had was the seven mile hike through the Gap of Dunloe.  Although the hike was physically draining the scenery was some of the most beautiful in the world.  We also took a boat ride through the Lakes of Killarney.  It was breathtaking to say the least! 

We also started school at University College Cork this week with our Early Start Classes.  We will take the Early Start class everyday for one month until the university begins their semester in late September.  I am taking Irish Literature.  With this class we have many field trips planned including a three day trip to Dublin.  UCC is one of the most stunning campuses I have ever seen.  I am thrilled to be going to school here!
