Grace and Matt in Ireland

Hey, this is my web page I made for keeping anyone interested up to date on my Ireland travels. I'm presuming the only people visiting this page already know who I am so I'll skip the usual home page stuff about who I think I am and what I like and stuff.

The facts:
I'm studying at University College Cork in Cork (see map)
I've been here since December 27th and I'll be leaving July 6th.
I'm staying in a college owned apartment with three Irish lads, Brian, Bob and Owen.

What I'm up to:
Playing Ultimate with the UCC team, three times a week.
Working out at the Mardyke Gym.
Traveling around.
Hanging out with Grace.
Writing Philosophical tracts.
Homework.

What I'm Taking here:
Philosophy of Religion
Philosophy and Film
Thermal Physics
Introduction to Quantum Physics

Places I've visited so far:
St. Finbarr's Cathedral in Cork
Jameson Whiskey Distillery in Middleton
St. Coleman's Cathedral in Cobh
Charlesfort in Kinsale
Rock of Cashel and Hore Abbey in Cashel
Old forts, cliffs and the Aran sweater market on Inis More
The Cliffs of Moher
Blarney Castle
Cobh again, this time to see the heritage center
Sligo for a frisbee tournament (Our team got 11th out of 12)
Dublin for another frisbee tournament (But this time we got 9th out of 18 - Yes!)

Other fun(!) facts:
I'm collecting coasters from every pub I visit. I'll get them laminated or something and we'll use them at our apartment next year.
My drink of choice is the Stout. I prefer Murphy's. After frisbee you can drink those down like water almost.
I broke my phone!
