Boston Tommy in the kitchen today after I said I wasnt ready to go home.
"Why? Dont you love America?" Kid always gets me because he never smiles, I didnt know if he was serious or being a little silly. He continued,
"America. Home of the free. And the brave."
He cant wait, he wants to be back so bad. And I guess I'm ready to be done here, I've had my time. But I really do want to come back and do it right. I want to play rugby. I dont want to waste time as I have here, the internet being a sole waste of my time.
As I waited for the bus, and granted I'm in a classy neighborhood, the number of people running or cycling, and just in general I feel like they're a healthier people. I want to be here. Its pretty.

Like Tim Tebow
Noticed a certain Purdue football playing, ginger, Found kids facebook today and it inspired me.
Dont go getting the big head ginger, you're simply a symbol in thes piece.
Good, solid christian boys are so hard to find that when I do find one I want to alert the media, so maybe not the media but I'm tempted to call every christian girl I know and tell them. "You'll never believe what I just found."
And it makes me mad that they succumb to stuff that I dont. I can do the right thing. Why cant you? Why cant you be with me on this? Just be good! Dang! It aint that hard! False...but not really! If they'd just get it in their heads what they'd be worth to the good girls, (the girls worth having, can I get an amen?) the item, the statue, the rare metal, the precious stone that they'd be if they were just want you wanted them to be. Dang! Get your shite together (forgive, thats the irish influence).
I recently learned from another American girl that she calls virgins Last Standing Unicorns. They are rare and lets be honest they're practically alone, they are the last standing of their kind. But viginity is not all that I'm talkin here. I'm talkin the genuine artifact, the legit. I am NOT talking about being a preacher, I'm talkin about being a normal person (those preachers, they aint normal) with strong morals. SO STOP SMOKING WEED and I'll consider you. Stop smoking period. And drinking. You dont have to be athletic but it'd be nice. And I'd like you to be smart but as rare as the good christian boy is, he trumps brains, sorry he does. Thats real. Bring the sexy christian back.
I dont want Prince Charming, just a normal person will do.

Wheres Tim Tiebow living these days?
Honestly, asking too much? Smart, cute, not socially akward, not judgemental, not smoker, not drinker, has goals has opinions, can communicate, knows to open doors, knows to walk on the side closest to the street, has attached earlobes and is taller than me, loves Jesus and acts like it. Is this really asking too much? Really?
Look I'm not asking for all that. I just wish you (you christian boy "finding your place in the world") wouldnt get pulled outta church as easy as you do. You dont know what you're worth. You're leaving us weeds to choose from. You're making me settle.
Settleing is my biggest fear in life.
Get on my level.
...Someone, please? Get on my level?

Exam Dos
So UCD exams are held in what seems to be a large barn. Not kidding, I felt like I was on the State fair grounds. In one giant open barn and there are multiple courses around you. Not like in Elliot where CHEM 110 in on the bottom and 112 in the balcony, the kid next to me was using a calculater and I was taking a Film Studies exam...he may have been confused.
Its strange. I honestly dont think I've ever seen so many desks and chairs in one place, and Purdue facilities are big. These desks spanned, like...kinda like a war zone, you know you're going to die, but slightly more organized. Well imagine the cattle barn at the state fair filled with single desks and chairs, just rows of em.
Today I noted that gingers always look lost. They crack me up. I wish I took a picture of the one today, anything I pull from google would not do them justice.
Also, Dad is coming over here!! And I'm so happy but I really do wish Mom were coming with him but she wont. So Dad takes this opportunity to decide that we're seeing the country on bikes. Brilliant. Certainly a dream, but one to be accomplished when I've been training, or atleast getting some form of exercise in the last month. I'm sure it'll be the death of me but atleast its a worthy death, its not boring.

Hombres!
Tonight, I finally made dinner with the spanish. We made spanish omelets. Tasty. I'm so happy I can cook now! Couple weeks ago I met with Irish boys who will study at Purdue next semester and they asked if I thought they should live in an international hall or a predominate american one. I didnt know what to say, nor would I know what to say were someone to ask about living at Blackrock. The relationships you make and skills and cultures you learn...I think thats priceless and I'd say absolutely do it, so yes, live at Blackrock. Know that you are a half hour cycle away from campus, and when if rains you will be drenched and you will leave wet butt imprints on the seats in G24. AND know that anytime you want to go into the city, it will cost 1:80 one way. BUT we're by the beach and nice park and the people are second to none.
But as for telling kids who're studying at Purdue? I dont know. I've never lived in dorms at Purdue but I think I'd say do the international one, internationals are always easier to make friends with because no one has friends yet.
Tonight Beatriz and I made omelets and Stephano was supposed to be helping and wasnt, (Beatriz would say "Hombres! Men, you know men!") and the two bickered like my grandparents, made for great craic. Throw in the spaniards that came in late and it was one big, loud party. I only catch words here and there but its still entertaining, body language, and tone of voice go a long way.

Magpies
These magpie birds are scavengers, they steal eggs out of nests. But they always play the victim. So often I hear them and they scream as if they're being attacked, they're hysterical and screaming for their lives. Or when there are two of them, they sounds like they're in a fight to the death. Oh the drama.
You make no sense.
He calls me Yankee Doodle...
Every blog written in Ireland from here on out will be written as the Irish talk/text. James Orohoe is a boy I met at our barn dance an e txts like e talks an e talks like a leperchaun.

note
I just stole one of the giant mugs from Starbucks, but I dont really feel bad because its 4 euro for coffee! Thats like 6 dollars! Also, it has a crack where the handle meets the mug so I'm really doing someone a favor, what if it broke and they got hot coffee all over themselves? Its possible that I just saved Starbucks millions. You're welcome.
...and thank you because I really wanted this.
