We had our first basketball game wednesday! we lost by like 40... but apparently the last time they played that team they lost by 80! so we did much better this time :) I have another game tonight I am looking forward to! I think it will be a much closer game. The girls on my team mostly haven't played but there is this one Italian girl- Jade- she's quite good and Amy makes a good point guard. Anyways I will tell you outcome of our game tonight- hopefully we will dominate!
I am going to Ireland this saturday for a week with Deanna- I am sooo excited! We are going to take the train to Holyhead Wales then sail over to Dublin!! :) OH! If anyone reading this knows people in Ireland let me know! We plan on starting dublin then going south then west then north then back east to Dublin. I am sooo excited! Any Ireland travel advice is totally appreciated! I am soo excited!
Yesterday Deanna and I went on a field trip with our Archeaology of Great Britain class to WALES! It was so cool! I actually was officially in the country for a significant amount of time! We went to a medival church that was soooo cool. We got to wander around the churchyard and it reminded me of Gray's Elegy written in a country churchyard... it was interesting looking around. Then we went to the ruins of a monistary! That was sweet! There were huge parts still intact and it was just amazing. I can't imagin what it was like in its prime. It seems like such a shame so many things were quarryed. But at least there is still some of it left. Then we went to this cool like 12 foot stone monument thing and it was just out in the middle of a feild and it had cool markings on it- it was kinda vikingesque- and they have dated it to around 1000 AD!!!! 1000!!! Thats like 1000 years ago!!! It was so cool. :) The only bad part of this adventure was the fact that Deanna and I both didn't really know we were going to be hiking around ( we stood outside on a bridge in this like marsh land thing for about 30 minutes while we learned some interesting facts about how Chester used to be costal and about trade and about "wicks" and how most "wick" names meant that the city was a place of trade...) but anyways- so we just wore canvas shoes and sweatshirts .. it had snowed the day before and there was still a lot of it all around... needless to say our feet were frozen! It was okay though because it was way worth it- but it was still more difficult to concetrate standing in a Welsh field in 2 inches of snow... well it was also difficult to concentrate because Wales was georgous! It was soooo pretty- everwhere I looked - it was just rolling hills and cute houses and trees... it was very green, besides the white snow :) I have a friend (jesse) who loves Wales and Welsh and all that, and once I was there I could see why! A woman told me we weren't even in the pretty part and I couldn't believe her! I can't wait to explore Wales some more- apparently they have the most castles of any other country! Yay!! I love Castles! I love Wales! :)
