Oh, and the awkwardness begins

So I'm just sitting on the couch in my apartment, messing around on Facebook or what have you, when the front door opens. And in walks two new roommates. 

They both have rather thick accents and I'm having some trouble understanding them, and I only caught one of their names. This is going to be really awkward. Also they're both freshmen or whatever the Irish equivalent of freshmen is. 

I don't know how to act when I have complete strangers living with me. I've never really done it--the first apartment of the trip didn't count because I had at least known them for a few days, and I talked to Ashley a bunch before we moved in. 

I'm unfamiliar with the protocol of this sort of situation. For example, in a little while, I'm going to go to the market; should I invite them, or at least tell them I'm going...? Or should I just leave...? And tonight, when we go to the pub to play beer pong, do I invite them? Do I have to let them know if I have friends coming over? HOW DOES THIS WORK???

Fuck. This is awkward.

Also, completely unrelated to the roommate thing: I booked a ticket to Amsterdam last night! I go the second weekend of November! Hooly hoo!
