Summary of Week’s Events
We’ve done a few little things in the past week that didn’t get mentioned in previous posts such as:
Swimming! Up until last Friday I had never been able to float in water and Katherine had never been able to adequately swim. We went to ‘Ireland’s 1st 50m swimming pool’ since it’s in the rec center right next to our village. We arrived the first time only to find we were required to buy swimming caps. We arrived the second time with money to buy swimming caps. Two hours later Katherine can float AND (kind of) swim, while Mark can only swim. Katherine does not see the point in learning to tread water.
Cleaning! Katherine’s roommates are all 17 and have yet to learn the finer points of being a big person. Since almost all Irish students go home on the weekends (we don’t know why) they usually leave their kitchen messes behind and we live in filth Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. When they return on Monday things usually get cleaned. Usually. We have since resorted to keeping two plates in Katherine’s room – to be used only by us.
Gone to class! We go! We learn! We love it!
