I accidentally set the time on my alarm clock wrong (not the alarm, but the time itself) last night; I woke up thinking that I had beaten jet lag only to find out that I was an hour behind and due to meet my group to walk to campus in about a half hour.
We had orientation all day, and I stopped to get a SIM card on my way home. I walked by Marks and Spencer and HAD to stop in--once again, I ended up buying much more than I could reasonably carry, making the mile or so walk back home seem unbearably long.
However, my gratuitous grocery shopping meant I could actually make dinner (I'd had yogurt for every meal since yesterday...which isn't necessarily a bad thing-one type with chocolate covered banana flakes to mix in was particularly good- but that's a TON of dairy), which was fabulous.
Appropriately enough, I made a semi-complete Irish breakfast (eggs, sausage, toast, cheese, and tea, of course) for my first real meal here and I was so proud of myself that I took a picture of it!
What a busy day. Sounds like you're finding your way around--and to the stores--pretty quickly!
