Camping Anyone?

Along with the girls in my cottage, I feel like I might be camping here at the Park Lodge Hotel. First of all, we have to coin feed our electricity and we get coins from Kathy (our director) that are meant to last the whole week. And if we run out, we have to supplement the electricity with our own Euros. We also have to make sure that before we leave our cottages for the weekend we have enough electricity to keep our dorm-room-sized refrigerator on for the weekend so our food won't spoil. 

Along with our sketchy electricity, we have to set our water heater to heat up, something we have not figured out how to do yet. We have been told twice by J.P, one of the owners and once by a girl in our group how to do this but we still manage to take cold showers daily. We aren't sure if we can't figure it out or if it doesn't work but either way, we only have hot water at seemingly random times during the day and never when we actually need it to bathe. 

The one thing that does actually work in our cottage is the internet so thankfully I can tell all of you how camping in Ireland is SO MUCH FUN!

On a better note, I only have two classes next week and then I'm off to Limerick for the weekend!
