Galway Introduction

Welcome to my home for the next few months. NUI-Galway is kind enough to put us up in Gort Na Coiribe, which is an apartment complex about 15 minutes from the campus proper. I got a double room on the top floor of the apartment you see above. I was expecting an Irish roommate but instead they decided to pair up all of the WU students with other WU students, except for one girl who got a single room. I got this guy:

Mr Jack Martin, musician extraordinaire. So far the situation is pretty good I think. We have four other flat mates that all have their own room. All four are Irish lasses, which is pretty sweet if you ask me. We met one of them as she was moving some of her stuff back in after the break, and it sounds like the four of them party pretty hard, another plus.


This is my domain, the kitchen. We are provided with the lovely little stove/oven (weirdest burners I have ever seen), a small refrigerator and a microwave. So far, for myself (and the house I guess) I grabbed a knife, since I forgot mine at home, and some other ingredients.



Here's the bedroom, complete with a sweet reflection of the flash in the window. Pretty standard stuff, desks, chairs, dressers, some shelves and two beds. You can see Jack's perfectly normal bed in the foreground there.

Oh yeah, it's James's super rad 80's southwest themed bed. Get psyched.

So that's pretty much the whole of it. Its a pretty nice little place, as far as university housing goes. Did a bit of cleaning after last nights dinner, so I think its a little nicer than when the girls left for break, which I figure will be nice for them. Going out to dinner tonight with the crew, since we never seem to travel in a group smaller than about ten. Probably the pubs after, I think we are due at Taaffe's for some Guinness and Irish music.
