Siena College Takes Over Dublin

This weekend, we decided to have a Siena College reunion for some of the kids that were currently studying abroad in other places. Luckily for me, they chose to all meet up in Dublin. So, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights we assembled at DCU, and our normal group, plus 14 other Siena study abroad students all went out in Dublin. We also had Sean and his friend Addison come over to DCU and stay with us for the weekend, so it was quite the group. DiFranco was in from Italy, with his new girlfriend, so we laughed a lot at his expense. They brought McDonalds with them on Saturday, and I got a cheeseburger so I wasn't about to say anything! On Friday, we went to Farrington's Pub, and from there headed across the street to Fitzsimmons in Temple Bar. DiFranco took a Snapchat with his phone, which was really funny. On Saturday I laid low with Sean, Addison, Brian and John while the other Siena people explored the sites that we'd seen a couple of times. We played Wii and watched Shrek, and bought a box of brownies of course. On Saturday night, they came back to DCU to play a couple of games and then head out. Christine tried to teach everyone a game with hand gestures and cups, but nobody could get it, so we gave up and moved on. We went to O'Reilley's again, then headed over to Fitzsimmons. I was texting Kelsey at 12:58, and then when I looked back at my phone it was 2:03. It only felt like a couple of minutes, and I knew she would be mad! Thinking I had actually lost my mind, I suddenly remembered the time change. I wasn't crazy (well, not for that at least)! We all met up at McDonalds later, and squeezed into a cab to head back to DCU. When we got back, we agreed that an immediate family dinner was necessary, so we feasted. We had breaded chicken, spaghetti, and Kelsey brought over a couple of boxes of Kraft Mac and Cheese. It was perfect.
