Bags of Potatoes

It's ridiculous how many potatoes are here. Every day I would say I eat at least 2 potatoes. However today was the first day that I at a sweet potato. I'm surprised it took that long. I'm basically always carb-loading and because my bag only just arrived today I haven't had my gym clothes to go work anything off. Tomorrow everything starts fresh though with potatoes for breakfast.

Memorial Day

Maybe I'll switch things up today and drink a Bud. Bud probably not. The Guinness is just too good to pass up and even Heineken or the Galway Hooker is about the same price but tastes much better. In other news, lunch today was the first meal since the program started that I didn't have anything potato related. 

Standby

Don't get me wrong. Flying standby is a great perk and can save you a lot of money in the long run. However there is a lot of room for things to mess up. In just my trip to Galway Ireland for my study abroad this summer I have had several mishaps. It took four flights for me to finally make in from St. Louis to Atlanta. The flights to Dublin were full so I had to go to Heathrow instead. My check in bag stayed in Atlanta this whole time however so we told the airport officials to get the bag to Dublin today morning so I could just pick it up. I then spent the next 8 hours on trains and ferries getting from London to Dublin. Now I find that my bag is in London. It has been just the first 3 days of the summer and already a lot has happened.
