Maynooth Week 1

   My first full week at Maynooth has come and gone. Moving in, orientation, getting the feel of the town, and a couple nights out are all under my belt. Orientation was a standard one lasting only two days. The rest of the week was filled with opening a bank account and other logistics of being in another country. The evenings were more hanging out as we all have no work yet!
   The couple of nights in Maynooth were filled with times in the roost pub catching a game or two, enjoying the student union pub, encountering donkeys in the middle of the road at 12 at night, and enjoying my new friends company. My first pint of Guinness while here was had as well. Theres not much to say but the school is beautiful. The campus is gorgeous. A new library, an astonishing church, a ruined castle on campus, an orchard, a cemetery, a closed tunnel made out of trees. This year will be good one.
