So Patchus did his little spiel about the launch of this blog and already has published a number of subsequent posts (and I even published one regarding one of his), but I haven't really said anything yet.
Basically, it is about time. Sorry it took so long.
So I've got less than a month left in Europe and when I get back I will be, as Patchus said, living in the house for the summer. I'm so looking forward to Fifa. My classes are over here (well not true, I have one later today but I have no reason to go), and in my time left I've got a few plans.
1. Don't fail my finals. Hopefully that shouldn't be too hard, I only have three and so far the standards in Ireland have been way lower than in the U.S. I've written terrible essays that my professors loved. So I should be alright.
2. Go to Cork, Blarney, the Ring of Kerry, and possibly Limerick and the Cliffs of Moor. There are still a number of really touristy things in Ireland I have yet to do, which is sad.
3. See The National live on May 13th.
4. Drink as much Guinness as possible while I can still get the good stuff (and while its still legal for me to drink in bars, I'm sure it'll be really fun to go home and go back to being under the legal drinking age for a little while...).
As a quick note, here are some of the things I've done while in Europe:
- Drank a lot.
- Fell in love with Smithwicks.
- Done touristy stuff around Dublin.
- Visited Prague.
- Went to Northern Ireland to see Belfast and the Giant's Causeway.
- Went to Paris and then Berlin.
- Emily came to visit here in Dublin. We also went out west to see Galway and the Atlantic.
- Went to a Celtic game in Glasgow.
- Explored the Wicklow Mountains a bit.
- Missed real food and weather (neither are all that pleasant over here...)
So I hope you guys are all well, I'm looking forward to getting back into things. Patchus, feel free to critically examine every sentence and try to decipher my thoughts while writing this. I look forward to reading your interpretation!

Wait Casale is visiting Blarney?!?!
Is that the same Blarney which is home to the blarney stone?
Legend says that when you kiss the blarney stone you will be given the "gift of gab." This will be the ultimate test of the stones powers; if it can make Casale talk it truly does contain magic!
Point of information: I kissed the blarney stone but the effects of "gab" wore off in just a few hours.. i give casale 5 minuets.
Thanks for leaving me out of all of your fun adventures here Matthew. I feel sad now.
I'm sorry Sean.
Also: got very drunk with Sean on a number of occasions. Fitzy was there too one time. And Sean and I also went on a trip to Scotland and saw a Celtic game, which was badass.
