It has been more than a month since I've arrived in Ireland and to Dublin. So far, I'm feeling like it's a long holiday, somewhat perpetuated by the fact that technology has brought me and my parents closer than snail mail.

Army has probably trained me well. I am accustomed to taking care of myself and handle all the laundry, cleaning of room and toilet, cooking (the maggie mee in outfields didn't exactly help that much), and groceries.
