Boring Days

The past two days have been pretty boring. Yesterday I went to two different horse classes, one a nutrition class that other a health and disease class. The nutrition class doesn't sound that great but I think I will enjoy the Health and Disease one so that's the one I'll most likely end up registering for at the end of the week. In that class we jumped right into lab as well. Me and Marlo had to go down to The Spar (little convenient store on campus) to buy white lab coats because everyone in the labs is required to wear one. So we went off to lab in our lab coats, had to ask people where exactly to find the lab as it was very confusing to get to the room. You had to go outside into a little courtyard, cross the courtyard and go back into the building on that side, apparently there is no way to get to the room from inside the building, you have to go through this courtyard. I'm glad there were people around to tell us because there is no way we would have found it otherwise. In lab me and Marlo felt like the smart Americans, no joke. There were some kids in that class that I have no clue what they were doing in a science lab. Some girls had no clue how to use the instruments and there were guys that just sat and joked around the whole time and didn't seem to care. I believe the professor said this was a third year class so I guess I figured the students would be more knowledgeable in the science part but I think I'm wrong.  I have a feeling that most of the students in these horse classes are more focused on the training and management side of things then the health science part, they are simply forced to take the science aspect and therefore aren't very good at it. And I could be completely wrong and they could all be really smart in the class but that's definitely not the initial vibe me or Marlo got from them. I however am excited about the class. Other than that class my day was boring, I did have a nice talk with my Irish roommate. He comes from a dairy farm here in Ireland where they milk 60 cows. So we were discussing how things are done on my farm and he was just amazed that we could milk close to 500 cows three times a day every day all year long. Here they only milk twice a day and they only milk from March to around December. He couldn't believe that we freshened cows in all year long because here every one freshens their cows in all in one month, normally March or April. It was nice being able to talk with him about farming. I definitely miss the farm and all my cows. I really hope that I can find some farms here that I can go and visit, I'd love to see how they do things here. At orientation they told us that our goal this semester should be to try and get invited home with an Irish student for a weekend. Maybe I can get Emmit to invite me to his farm. Marlo's roommate also has a friend that said he would take him out to his farm, but I haven't met him yet so I better get on making friends with him so that I can get out to a farm!
I didn't have any classes today so I got to sleep in and be lazy all day. If all works out this is how every Wednesday will be for me, except the being lazy part.  Today it was raining all day so I had an excuse to sit inside all day, but any other time I will probably be outside taking pictures that sort of thing. But as I said today I spent my entire day inside reading my books that I brought with me and pinning things to Pinterest (Michelle now has to addicted to that site whenever I'm bored).  Today was the first day that it rained all day long and it was more of a actual rain rather then the mist they normally have. We are going out tonight for Karaoke down at the pub on campus, they have some sort of thing going on down there every night of the week. I really don't know how the Irish students can afford to go out as much as they do. I plan to go out for the occasional drink with my new friends and on the weekends, but that is plenty for me.
Sorry this post is so boring, but like I said in the title it's been a boring last two days.
