There once was a girl in Limerick...: Thomond Village

The dorm-apartment complex that I'm living in is called Thomond (pronounced Toe-mund) Village. There are six bedrooms that share a hallway and then a kitchen/dining/living room at the end of the hall. All of my roommates are finally here! Two of my roomies are from the states - Maggie is from Tennessee and Brent is from Chicago - Christina is from Austria, Jorge (hor-hey) is from Madrid, and Charlene (who I have yet to meet) is from France! The three from outside the U.S are studying here for a year and just switched into our apartment this semester.

Each room has a private bathroom with a shower that's about the size of the upstairs toilet room at 227, which is really small for those who have never seen it. I have a built in desk, a small closet, and a double-sized bed. Way nicer then a dinky, little extra-long twin! My window looks out on the Thomond Courtyard and the Shannon River. The kitchen has everything... except for a microwave. and there's a couches and chairs in front of the TV (which has all of like 16 stations, one which is probably playing FRIENDS no matter what time of the day you turn it on). These dorms are fabulous minus the fact that it's a 10 minute walk to main campus, a 15 minute walk to the gym, and a 20 minute walk to Kilmurry which is the village most of the friends I've made are in.
