what a day

So, i have finally found an apartment!!!! It is a wonderful and cute place right in the middle of the city. I can't wait till I can upload pictures. I dont move in till sunday, and after that i wont have internet for maybe a week or longer, so that will be no fun. Anyways, another cool thing that happened to me today was that i got to meet the President of Ireland. SHE (Mary McAleese) spoke out the Rotary District Conference that started today. Afterwords, I got to shake her hand (very firm grip) and tell her where i am was from and whatnot. I just thought that was really neat. She kinda resembles Maggie T (josh) so that was neat too. Well the conference is interesting because there are a few hundred Rotarians for all over Ireland who have gathered in Dublin. Tomorrow the scholars are making a presentation about what we think the future of rotary should be. That will be fun, except for i have to be there really early in the morning. Tonight we had a huge Rotary Ball which was loads of fun. A lot of the women wore sequened dressed and the men irish kilts. We had champage before our 5 course meal and a string quartet played. There are 8 scholars and we all sat together. Everyone is just so nice, scholars and rotarian alike. I need to try and get some sleep tonight. Now that i have an apartment, I am definitly more relaxed.
