Living arrangements.

So I finally found out where I'll be living while I'm in Dublin! I'll be living in a building called 
My apartment building!
BlackArch! I'm real excited. I'll be living with Liz and a European student. Not sure who though, apparently they haven't applied for housing yet. But that'll be exciting, can't wait to Facebook creep her haha. The building is about a 25 minute walk to DBS, but that's not too bad. Apparently they do a lot of walking in Europe anyway. Gotta get use to it sometime! Where it's located is "is becoming a hip and popular destination for college students and young Irish professionals." Also, there's a farmer's market close by, so I'll get to eat fresh veggies and fruits (read as potatoes)! Every thing's fully furnished, including pots, pans, dishes, cups, everything, but linens and a TV. But they provide a comforter and pillow, so I'm not exactly sure why the sheets and TV got left out of the deal haha. Oh, well. Hopefully, I won't be watching TV any. They also sent me a 20-page long packet of information, including nightlife and where to get the cheapest lunch. It's fun stuff.

The start.

My acceptance letter :)
So after running around my school like crazy, getting this, that and the other from twenty different people, I finally got my application turned in. That was near the end of March. And then I got to play the waiting game. It would have been much cooler if this letter was actually what told me I got in, but they emailed me a couple forms to fill out (Class sign-ups, roommate assessment, the usual), so it kind of figured it out well before this letter arrived. But whatevs. I'M IN! :)
