What main languages are spoken here?:

While everyone speaks English, the Irish also speak Irish! Many locals have told me that while it's taught in schools, not many people actually really speak it. However, the street signs are in Irish!

What type of money is used here?:

As part of the European Union, Ireland uses euros. However, not many places take physical money anymore!

How much does a bottle of water cost?:

A bottle of "still water" cost about 2.80 euros. That's why it's handy to have your own water bottle! My Owala has gotten me all through college so far.

What was the best meal this week?:

My flatmate and I cooked these giant chicken quesadillas with guacamole that were delicious. I also made my own salsa verde, though it didn't taste the same as what my mom makes. I'll try different peppers next time!

What music did I listen to this week?:

I've been really into Haley Blais' Wisecrack and Cocteau Twins' Heaven or Las Vegas. It's been nice for this dreary weather because it really matches the mood.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

I got to workshop my short story for Creative Writing. Every week, two to three people present a short piece of fiction they wrote, and then everyone provides some constructive feedback.
