Another € another hour of surfing this internet thing.
Well, I'm somewhat fed and watered and more than rested. Whilst waiting to get into my room I napped and snored (my snoring kept waking me up) and when I finally got into my room I promptly slept for over 5 hours, I was planning on sleeping longer, all the way through to tomorrow but I couldn't sleep so I got up and went for a walk, the previously dreary weather has been replaced by the equivalent to a nice spring night, and this is winter here! I got a feeling for my surroundings and have come to the conclusion that every building around here is either a pub, hostel or a spar, a nicer version of 711, and there are more of them. I need to get some more food sometime soon, probably when this hour is up, I saw a subway a little ways away and that sounds awesome, I'll save the pubs for when I've showered and am somewhat presentable.
I am feeling generally better about my whole situation, before I was feeling...overwhelmed I think is a good word. I am almost glad I didn't get in the first time, I would utterly insane by now, or smooth as silk, we'll never know. Me saying that it's good I didn't get in could either a0 true or b) my brain adapting to a situation and convincing itself that it is actually better off this way, when in fact it's not. Like the original drummer for the beatles, he says getting kicked out is the best thing that ever happened to him, or how life time inmates, or people on death row say that going to jail was the best thing, I doubt that our correctional programs are in fact that effective.
I've gotten off topic, but what is the topic, this is just me talking, and you reading, mind you, you probably want to hear about my trip, well, seeing as how it hasn't been a day and I already have two rather lengthy trips, I'll let you decide. (I honestly don't know the answer, thats why you have to figure it out!)
I am happy with this hostel of mine, it should work out well. I would like to meet some people, but most of the people there are either over middle aged or don't speak English. I am kind of regretting coming alone, but maybe it will work out for the best, who would have come anyways.
There will probably be lots of posts like this, but it just means I like you and want to have some sort of connection with you, even though we are a sea apart.
I have declared tomorrow walking around and taking pictures day, maybe buy a more suitable jacket for this weather, or maybe an umbrella at least. There are open USB ports on these computers so hopefully I can figure out a way to get some pictures onto these machines.
I just realized that the radio station is similar to american top 40, and it's a little weird. I suppose they realize most people using these computers are tourists, I think this entire 10 block spread realizes that it's mainly tourists around here, and I'm okay with that, lessens the chance of me getting mugged.
I need to figure out a better situation with my bags slash clothes, you can rent lockers, and I currently have one, I just need to renew the lock so I don't have to take my back pack everywhere, they call it backpacking but it's more like a suitcase in spirit. The typical back packing trip around europe is pretty much dead, and I don't know who killed it. I think I would be more open to said trip if I were in smaller towns, walking around with a big pack on is basically asking to get beat up, also, where do you put it if you wanted to put said pack down. I don't know, I don't know much about backpacking, which is odd because I'm in FREAKING IRELAND, LIVING OUT OF A BACKPACK. Anyways, I think for the next week I want to be a tourist, and then whilst in Ballina I will just be.
Well, thats one way to kill half an hour, it's what...3 o'clock there? Wow. Anyways, there are other things to find on this intarweb, this is a lot of posting for the first day, and it's basically about nothing, but thats why you love me right?
