Quota

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate some stellar quotes from the past few days here in Ireland.

"You can get a DUI from cycling"
"If you kill someone on a bike it's called manic cycling"
"Can cows gallop?"
"My spirit animal is a juice box"
"If tomato is a fruit, is ketchup a smoothie?"

And my favorite, besides the juice box one, someone also called me their spirit animal. *tears up* I'd like to thank the academy.


Okay also here's a few more English words to get you through your life:
old dot= mum
kip= nap (I am going to start using this a ton, mostly because I nap all the time)

I got really excited the other day because a street performer sang the song Who Knew by P!nk. Me and 2 of my best friends in high school (Kelsey and Jayne) sang that for a talent show/Showcase. Our band was called 'Til Tomorrow, and we rocked. Those harmonies were amazing. We did In My Head an Telephone other years. Love those girls. And I love being reminded of little things from high school or pre-college in general.

OMG hallelujah. Ring those bells. My organic chemistry 3 class is over. I finished my test this week (hence why I haven't really been posting- sorry to my fans). HUGE EFFING SHOUTOUT TO MY TA NICK. He answered tons of my annoying questions about syntheses and how to do science in general.  Here he is getting hype about science:


Lolzzzz. What a gem. Anywho, I also treated myself afterward.


Also, upon a random brain blast, I realized that my new best friend Melanie (from the trip) and her boyfriend Fred have the same names as my aunt Melanie and Uncle Fred. Cool beans, I know. We were excited about it.


Oh. I forgot to mention, I was trying to be cool and cut to the front on my bike tour a few days ago, but the street narrowed, and I braised my leg on the curb. I was fine. A little scarred by the rickety sound my bike made. It was literally right before the end of the tour. Glad I made it through. But the really funny part is that after we dismounted our bikes, one of the tour guides that had been our caboose came up to me and asked how my leg was doing. She saw me hit the curb and thought my previous wound from falling during a run (read old post about that for further detail) was the cut I got from the curb. LOL. I had to explain to her that I ate shit during my first week here. She laughed.

I cried.


Galway, Ireland my friends. Long ass bus ride. We were supposed to go to some art and music festival, but we couldn't find it once we got off the bus. So, of course, we found our favorite burrito chain, Boojum. It opened at 12. We were there at 12. Love at first bite. Sadly that was like the highlight of my day. That and we went to a pub to sit and relax (because we were bored), and the bartender gave us free shots. They tasted like appletinis! And they had free wifi. So much win.


Lastly, I'm sure I've mentioned the running joke my friend Melanie and I have about this radio tower that we call the Eiffel Tower every time we pass it. Well, our friend told us that on Yik Yak (an app where you post random comments anonymously) someone wrote something along the lines of "these girls think the Eiffel Tower is in Dublin. Wow". THAT'S US. We are not dumb, brother. We just like to make jokes. That is that.

Also, the other day we had a tour of the UCD (our campus) labs. They were so clean and nice. And my friends and I looked like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers with our weird lab coats. See below.

For now there's less chemistry happening and more sightseeing. Happy times call for happy hours!
