As I began to pack during our last week, I decided to come up with a list of the little things I will miss most about Cork and my time abroad. The list is not in any order.
- Going out for a pint to listen to live Irish music
- Prank wars with the boys
- Getting a free pint every time it rains with an app on the iPhone
- When everyone gets wifi on their iPhones and stops talking
- Garlic mayo
- Nutrageous and the Nutrageous song
- Hating the An Brog yet still wanting to go there
- Doing nothing on the list of things we need to do before we leave
- Hearing 4's weird whistling and music (Our 4th roommate from El Salvador)
- Thomond bar's cottage pie
- Pregames in the Penthouse
- Trying to perfect the Irish accent and Sarah sounding Indian every time
- Irish cider- Bulmers
- Trying to look Irish by wearing my Aran sweater, claddagh ring and tartan scarf
- Getting called out for being American miles away (even people yelling "You're American!" out of the window of moving cars)
- Hearing Galway Girl live at pubs
- Telling people they sound like leprechauns
- Running through the parking garage to avoid the creepy cats
- L.A. Bagels
- The bar at UCC that we've never been to
- Using Irish phrases (gaf, good craic, what's the story?, that's legend, lads, for **** sake, you're an igit)
- Fat Al's pizza slices and Sarah saying it is the best pizza she's ever had in her life
- The awful wifi in Leeside
- Shouting at Chelsea to ask if she has Internet and playing nose goes to be the one to reset the router
- Making everyone look at the Irish countryside on long Aircoach bus rides
- Being surprised every time it rains and then remembering we're in Ireland
- The Rooftop
- Going "to town" which eventually leads to eating or buying something
- Driving on the wrong side of the road through roundabouts
- Tuesday nights at Rearden's, Thursday nights at The Bailey
