New city, new adventures

Today was kind of a slower day for us. This is mainly due to the fact the fact that it was our first day in limerick. We started off by getting up early once again to catch the bus. The bus ride was only about three hours long. Most of us spent this time sleeping. Upon arriving to Limerick, we headed straight to the Strand hotel. Yes, i said hotel and not hostel. I knew it was going to be a great hotel just by walking into the lobby! However, when we got there we found out our rooms wouldn't be ready until 3pm. But the good news about that is they were nice enough to take our luggage from us and put it in our respective rooms when they were ready. So, after leaving the hotel we split up to grab lunch. We also had some extra time to walk around and get to know the city. We then caught a bus to The University of Limerick. We had a meeting with one of the Professors in the computer science department. Not too many question were asked because I think a lot of us were suffering from that "2:30" feeling. However, she was very informative about how they do the program there. After that the international student office gave us a tour of the campus. I think we could all agree that we wish Ball State has a campus as nice as theirs. After the tour we went back to the hotel. We pretty much all just hung out in our air conditioned rooms over looking the city of Limerick for the rest of the evening.
