christmas in cork

last night gerry and i had christmas dinner for some of his friends and for his housemates. gerry's department was the turkey (chicken), ham, meat stuffing and roasted potatoes. i was in charge of dessert, veggie stuffing and mashed potatoes. it went really well. i think people left over-full and having had a good time.

work was busy this week. we had two tests. both of which went well for me. but the girl beside me failed one test (89% is a fail) and despite passing her retest, decided she didn't like it. which is fine, but she was really nice. i will miss her. i think we're going to get together for drinks after our last day before we leave for christmas... we're all looking forward to that day. no more tests. and we'll have been paid. so it's gonna be sweet.

my house is still freezing, and other than two nights, i've been staying at gerry's. i did meet one more of my housemates on friday. until then, i had only met the guy from poland... whose name i can't understand, so i've mostly been refering to him as my housemate, cause he was the only one i knew. *laugh* i'll be meeting the other guy after christmas, i think he's gone to do some training and then home. so he won't be back until then.

to remedy the cold house problem, and the not being able to sleep because it's so cold, i've bought a heating blanket that you can sleep on all night. it was a recommendation from one of the ladies in my class. i haven't tested it out yet, cause i got it on thursday. but i'm sure some time this week i will.

i saw transporter 2 during the week. i can't remember the day. it was good. a total action movie... like, don't go in thinking it will be realistic, but i think it was great. fun. and that guy is über hot.

we're tossing around the idea of seeing narnia tonight. i really really want to see it. i've heard great things, and what i've seen looks great.

i've been trying to blog at work, but the computers we're allowed to use for internet have not been allowing me to blog. i'm working on it, but so far, i can only blog at gerry's. and i don't think i can get internet at my house, cause we don't have a phone. e veryone and their grandma has a cell phone, so no one has land lines really. sorry, i've been slack, i'll try to be more consistent int he future. email works, just so you know. :o)
