I have officially hung my hat and coat in my dorm room and the settling in process is almost complete. Although no fireplaces exist in my room, I do have the good fortune of being able to wake up to a pretty good view (see left). At the very least, I am not looking into someone else's living room as the grandmarc apartments would have me do. However there
are a few things that will take more than a week of getting use to. The first being the Irish accent. More often than not, I find myself just smiling and nodding.The second is the architecture (see right). It's not every day that you see castles nestled in between town homes as if Lords still maintained power over the common folk. Though I have not yet seen knights waiting at stop signs for their turn to cross the intersection.

If nothing else, it'll be an exciting task to undertake.
