First Day and Food Cravings

Today I had my first lecture at Trinity College. It was for my class Literature and Sexuality. It went rather well, today's topic was on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. I was already familiar with all of the material and sources noted in the lecture, which was a nice surprise. The only downside was the 60 freshmen in the lecture with me. It is so strange to realize just how much you mature as a student only over a couple of years. They were all loud and bored, even though it only lasted 50 minutes. In my day, class was always 2 and a half hours long, get used to it. It was a nice transition into the year, and I am looking forward to my other lectures on Thursday and Friday.

This afternoon, Meg and I went to our local Dunnes Store to get more groceries. So far, the Dunnes is my favorite grocery store, it is set up most like an American store and seems to have the best prices and selection, plus it is a closer walk than Tesco. It is all preference I suppose. I got a few different items to try, and attempted yet again to locate a Goldfish alternative. I have had an insatiable craving for good peanut butter, and Goldfish. I even dream about Goldfish. I even dream about them now. They did have Chatham Village Croutons and Pop-Tarts, but alas no snacks that smile back.

Tomorrow I will adventure to City Center and try to register with the Garda. Wish me luck!
