Lidl trip

I woke around 1pm and got ready to go to the grocery store Lidl. The Lidl is about half a mile away from where I'm staying. I bought quite a bit of food today to stock up for this week. The shopping cart wheels at Lidl turn in all directions. All of them. It took a while to get used to it but it is much easier than the front-wheel-drive carts we have in the States. I took my groceries back with me in my enormous reusable bag and made room in the fridge/freezer for my stuff. I had dinner with the social work students from Brockport; we had hamburgers and fries (chips). I came back to my room where I met my neighboring roommate, Lisa. Lisa is from Cork and has a great accent. She is a first-year nursing student at the college. She's real friendly and will talk your ear off. She loooves TV and ran through her weekly schedule of shows she likes to watch. Personally, I don't care too much about the Irish soaps. I was asking her about Cork because us Bport folk wanted to go to Cork this next weekend. The Jameson factory is there, which I'm sure we'll visit among other things. While we were talking Darren(?) comes in for less than a minute and I am told he's my other suitemate. I shook his hand and that was the extent of our meeting. I was invited out on Wednesday with Lisa and her nursing buddies. Let's hope it was just as entertaining as Saturday night was.
