Words of the mouth

"You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your father was." - Irish Proverb

I'm still trying to come up with a suitable title for our blog. Nothing seems to fit exactly what I'd like to say! Claudio will begin his MSc orientation in just a few short days, and although he is very excited, the Irish accent is still giving him trouble. Heck, it's giving me a hard time! Claudio's program will have many postgraduate students, around 60 if I'm not mistaken. After  just two or three days of orientation, he'll start his first day of his master's degree on September 3rd. I'm so proud of him for going into such a prestigious program, although I'm sure he's worried about those difficult Finance courses! 

My first day of orientation is the 8th. My course is much smaller than Claudio's, and I think much more international - I've only met a few other students so far, but from what I can tell me have me, and Indian, a Welshman, a Libyan/Irish, a Polish Irish, and two other Irish students. They all seem very smart and engaging in conversation just leaves you feeling more intelligent! 

Claudio, however, has caught a cold and I must force him to take some medicine now!
