more drinking

University has finally started, but the first week wasn't really busy because most seminars and lectures didn't even take place. However, I'll be taking a mixture of different courses, e.g. Spanish, Drama and Theatre Studies, Critical Theory and Practice, Early American Writing, America from 1941 to 1975, Imagining Modern Ireland, European Politics....
Everybody here at university seems to be really nice and helpful. But when I met the very friendly Head of the History Department of NUI Galway I got to know that the University Kassel's History Department has a really bad reputation even across the ocean. How embarrasssing is that? Fortunately, I'm not studying History as such in Kassel! :-)
The most important things we learned at our Orientation Day at university are:
DON'T TRY TO OUTDRINK AN IRISH! (You wouldn't win anyway!) and
DON'T TAKE UP THE IRISH DRINKING HABITS!
Well, after having you told this, I'll show you more pictures of me drinking! *lol*
After partying in the Cellar Bar, ...
... my friend Katharina had to sleep on the coach cushions on the floor of my room because she lives quite far away from the city centre.
But we had been so nice to tell the guys, who are living with me, why the cushions are missing. While doing that we realized that the coach needs tidying up! *lol*

We went to the beach to drink cheap cider and freeze our butts off.

That picture is especially for Sara because she wanted to know how my corset looks like.

Yes, I'm cuddling my cider! :-)
