Here!

I'm am officially in Galway, Ireland. I still can't believe that I am actually here, and I don't think it will hit me until I walk outside tomorrow. 
The flight to Ireland was ok. I'm officially the worst traveller, and got sick a few times, but I'm here in one piece.  I was lucky enough to sit next to a girl named Bridget, who is also attending NUIG.  We clicked instantly, and I  hope we'll be hanging out a lot.  Bridget, Colin, and I were picked up by my cousin Vincent (mom's side) Shannon Airport.  It felt like the drive took forever, but we probably got there in about an hour and a halfish.  The scenery was gorgeous, and all 3 of us were mesmerized.  I'm so excited to see the school tomorrow and to just walk around.  I'm hoping to get a place closer to town soon.  I'll probably stay here for a week or two, and then hopefully get an apartment(maybe in Bridget's complex). 
I'm currently living with another cousin, Anna, her husband Patrick, and their son Luke (Dad's side). It seems that I have won Luke's heart with the Toy Story, and Car's figurines that I brought for him.  He's still a little shy, but I think he'll warm up soon. 
Heading to bed now.. Can't wait til tomorrow!
