Starbucks

I've been in my room for the last eight days studying and in my down time I find myself in the kitchens, wandering the halls, in the market when I dont need to buy anything, or at Starbucks.

When I walked into Starbucks today, right off the bat I noticed a girl in a Lady Saints' soccer hoodie and I thought it looked like an Ameican hoodie, I know that sounds weird, but the Irish just dont wear hoodies like that. I didnt think much of it. She began a conversation with her mom on skype as I studied for Film Studies. Deep space-A film utilized deep space when signifigant elements fo an image are postioned both near to and distant from the camera. Ok so maybe I'm lying, maybe I meant to be studying but was really watching Indy 500 commericials and praying I'm home for it. Thats when this girl started naming Indianapolis township schools to her mom. My heart about popped. There were two of them, both from INDY and here we are in a Starbucks in Blackrock Dublin. I waited for her to hang up before I went over.

"Are you from Indy? Because I'm from Indy!!" Told them I was from Purdue and studying here, they were from IU in elementary ed. and were student teaching over here. It was a scream fest of:
"Omg, I'm sure we know so many of the same people, you're in ag, who do we know in Ag? Do you know Ben Forsithe?"
"Yes I know Ben Forsithe!! Hes in bluegrass! *scream giggle*."
"...do you know Bruce Cooley?"
"Yes I know Bruce Cooley! *scream giggle*" We did this for ages, I lost track of time.

We talked of cultural differences, what we missed about home, one being talking to a person who knew things only and Indiana person would know, things like Little 5, Franklin College of Ball State, things that mean nothing to people outside of Indiana.
