Start in Galway

So I have arrived in Galway 4 days ago.

I rented a car and drove all the way to Galway. It was quite enjoyable to drive a car on the wrong side of the road and sitting on the wrong side of the car and having to shift on the wrong side and well, I guess you kinda get the point :-). Remarkably enough it wasn't really a problem at all, I managed juuust fine and all too soon my journey was over with me having found my new place without getting lost once!

Lukasz was already waiting for me - admiring my parking skills (ehm yeah, let's not go there, that is just a bit too weird and confusing) and lucky for me he turned out to be a real gentleman and helped me carry my heavy bags up into my room... Hehe, getting them inside the room was a bit tricky (I have to go in in two stages, open door, go in, close door and go past the bed post, lol), but we managed.

After that I left again to go groceries shopping and got to drive a bit more :-). I bought loads of stuff, because after all, I had a car to bring it all home.

Unfortunately that same evening I started to feel bad and the next morning I had a bad cold. Brought the car back (they gave me a lift back home) and then I slept for the whole afternoon. In the evening Simon (my other flat mate) gave me his thermometer and turns out I had 39.5 fever. So I wasn't gonna go working the next day, which sucked big time.

Now it's Friday and I am better, fever is gone finally and I guess I should be back to my normal self on Monday and then I'll finally get to go to DERI :-). Can't wait! Especially after this really boring week of just lying around, listening to audio books, sleeping, sleeping some more and so on.

I have to say that I am in a nice place here, my flat mates are great so far and I feel comfortable :-). So don't worry about me!
