Shanowen Square

Hello everyone! Wow has life been busy the past few days! I arrived in Dublin on Monday morning around 9:30am which is 3:30am in Kansas. I started my journey from Wichita Kansas at 11:30am on Sunday. It was a very long day to say the least. I also had the unpleasant experience of my bags not arriving in Dublin the same time I did. They did come latter that night however. It was a very welcomed sight seeing it sitting in the office at the apartment complex I am staying at! I had orientation yesterday, and a tour of the hospital I am working at today. I still do not really understand what exactly I will be doing, but overall I think it will be a good experience. Monday evening a few of us decided to do some exploring, we ended up taking a bus down to the city center and exploring that part of town. It was a lot of fun. We ended up going to the Temple Bar to see Dave Browne attempt to break the world record for playing the guitar for 100 hours. It was a lot of fun but we all decided that we will have to go back when we are not jet lagged,  we figured out that most of us had been awake for almost 36 hours. I unfortunately packed my camera in my checked luggage so I did not get to take any pictures while we were down town. I am sure I will have plenty of more opportunities!  One thing that has really been a challenge is getting my sleep schedule figured out. It also stay light until almost 11pm and the sun comes up around 4am. I am sure as time goes on I will get used to this as well! I will try and take some more pictures and post them soon but for now her is a picture of my apartment (It is much smaller than my dorm was freshman year) I will try and update you all soon!
