Ugh, so I was going over my travel plans, just to double-check everything before we lose our computers (we're leaving them with a friend so that we don't have to worry about them while we're traveling)... and of COURSE I made a mistake and said we were arriving a day earlier in London than we are... so that was a fun thing to deal with at 2 am ( Read more... )

Top 10 things I am dying to do once I get back to Canada (aside from seeing all the people I miss like crazy):

1. Sleep in my own bed, with freshly washed sheets
2. Take a bath, preferably with bubbles
3. Eat good Italian food, especially lasagne
4. Bake a cake and decorate it
5. Go shopping in Toronto

Holy crap, this year went fast. It feels like I turned 20 only a few months ago. I am still getting used to the idea of being a 20-something, but I think I like it. I'm not feeling as freaked out as I did last year at this time, at least! Although, I have to say, I'm going to be really glad when I've graduated and my birthday is no longer in the ( Read more... )

Finally! It's easter break. I'm grateful for the break in school, even though it's so short (UK students get a month, lucky jerks). Tomorrow I'm leaving for Scotland... We're taking Ryan Air, which, while cheap, is making me nervous. After that whole Kevin Smith thing with that cheap American airline, I'm paranoid I'm going to get kicked off a ( Read more... )

Hummmm, so... Had a pretty sweet week this week. Convinced myself not to skip any classes, except one! Impressed with myself! And, I found out I got an "A1" (which is like an 11/12 I guess, or an A+) on this discourse analysis project I thought I would FAIL! I literally thought it was a pile of crap, but apparently not! I doubt I'll do as well on ( Read more... )

Today was a good day. Here is why ( Read more... )

Since I last updated I've gone on a trip to the West of Ireland (Cliffs of Moher!) , opened an Irish bank account, missed the deadline for an assignment, and realized that I have about 4 things due by Friday at 5! Have I been working hard? Not at all! I just can't find the motivation. I can't shake the "vacation" feeling I have here ( Read more... )

Trip post!

Got back from Dingle about 3 hours ago. I feel dead on my feet, but after showering and eating some dinner I feel like posting. Plus I'm going to have a busy week and probably won't feel like doing it this week.

Anyway, I'll preface this post saying that I spent the weekend in a state of panic/dread/anxiety/self loathing. I lost my ( Read more... )

So... updating... This week we got our GNIB cards (Garda National Immigration Bureau) at the police station in downtown Limerick. While we were there, a woman came in, obviously high on heroin (told us), screaming and showing us all her bloodied leg (apparently someone had attacked her). So that was fun (see: scary). But the Gardai and the ( Read more... )
