Yesterday I took the afternoon off of work and after doing a bit of relaxing and movie watching I called Dierdre, my host mom in Ireland. She seemed very nice and excited to have me stay with her and her family. They have 4 kids, 2 that are 18 and 16ish and 2 that are a little younger than 10. I guess they've hosted 10-12 students before me, which is good because they'll be well-versed in answering all of the crazy questions I'll probably come up with. It also means that they'll probably be very prepared for me, and that I won't be sleeping on a little cot in their laundry room or anything. She also said that they are pretty laid back and have few rules. I'm not a wild child, but I don't think I'd do well with strict rules.
She told me that the University will provide transport from the airport directly to their house in Dalkey, so that's good to know. Other than this brief call, I haven't heard anything else about my trip. Today at lunch I'm going to call my travel agent to verify that I have everything I need for my flight and tomorrow I'm going to go to Best Buy with my dad to get a plug adapter with my dad so I can use my laptop, charge my DS, and straighten my hair over there.
I'm sure more updates on their way...if there is anyone who even reads this! :)
