March Madness

Hey Everyone!
It's absolutely crazy to think that we're already at the end of March!! Like where has the time gone?! Like we say in Ireland 'time flys when you're having fun!' and we're all definitely having loads of fun here!! On the downside with some of our courses coming to an end already this semester its makes the end of our time in Montpellier seem even closer :-( but we still have a bit over a month left so no reason to be sad yet! And I'm sure we'll all make the most of the rest of our time together here!

So March has been a bit of a crazy month for us and a busy one at that!! At the start of March my sister and a few of my Irish friends came over to visit, along with a few of Michael and Jacks friends too! It was great to see them all and led to a bit of a crazy weekend!! Thank God the weather was nice and we got to show them some of the many beautiful spots of Montpellier, including the Arc and a few other spots. We even made it out to the beach and I managed to get a few more freckles!!

Last weekend was 'La fete du St.Patrick' or Paddys Day as it is more commonly known in Ireland! Myself and Michael had a great weekend with a few Irish friends we know in Montpellier and spent both Saturday and Sunday night in Fitzpatricks Irish bar. They had a live band playing traditional Irish music both nights and the atmosphere was amazing!! A great night was had by all and the place was full of people and pints of Guinness!! I suppose we Irish know how to party if nothing else :-)

Amongst all the fun there has been some college along the way! Between exams, projects and presentations there has definitely been enough to keep us busy and its not easy trying to balance it all! but I think we all seem to be managing okay ;-) I'm going to Wales next weekend to play in a water polo tournament so I am looking forward to that! I'll get to go to Ireland along the way and see my family which will be nice.. I'm not looking forward to going back to the freezing cold and snow!! The pictures don't look very appealing after sunnny Montpellier!ha

Best of luck to everyone in the exam tomorrow. Remember, stay cool and do your best, thats all you can do!! See you on the other side!
