2 Weeks.. the countdown begins.

The weather here since my last post has been incredible! Barely any rain and temps ranging from the upper 70's to low 80's -no humidity, and TONS of sunshine! It's really been summer in Limerick, who could have guessed! Well as of today, I have exactly 2 weeks until I am standing on American soil. My last Bank holiday (3 day weekend) will be enjoyed this weekend in Kenmare, Co. Kerry. Then Monday at some point, I will head to Dingle for 3 days 2 nights, some horseback riding and hopefully some more beautiful weather! Then when I return to Limerick, my last week will be spent taking my last trips to the city, packing and cleaning and enjoying my very last Limerick City Milk Market... for now ;) I am officially alone in the apartment as of tomorrow, as well as the only one left here from my program. There are some new summer school student who arrived a few days ago, so it is nice to see i'm not the only one in my village :) Anyway, here we go... see you in 14 days!
Love you all!
Cheers! <3

The home stretch

So, 25 days left in this beautiful country. Almost all of my friends headed home, my apartment is empty (as is campus) but it is the beginning of a new, wonderful experience..and i'm excited. Time by my self, to do..? whatever i want! hopefully cooking up a storm, and working out. Also traveling, i'm thinking Dingle, Wexford, and possibly somewhere in Kerry again (it was gorgeous the first time!) and tons of time to reflect on the fact that I have had the time of my life over here, and have to return to reality and all of my beautiful friends and family, and keene in the fall (UL does NOT have elementary ed, trust me i checked :) ) but I may as well enjoy the ride! hope all is well with everyone, I love and miss you all!

Cheers! <3

The end...for some

The last week of finals has arrived, meaning that my only two exams are happening this week, as well as the final finals for my roommates- its time to go home. This week its the boys heading home, next week all three ladies and I'll be here until June 14th! (any suggestions as to where to travel alone??) The beautiful weather and the promise of summer right around the corner is uplifting while we all wallow in the fact that this experience really has gone by way too fast. As sentimental as this week is promising to get, it seems to also be guaranteeing some tears. But for now, procrastinating like its my job and staring at the cows right out my window seems to be a good idea... I might even go for a walk :) Hope to skype some of you while I'm all by my lonesome-I'd love the company :) Miss and love you all!

Cheers! <3
