Reasons why I wish I had my best friend around for so I could spew out random thoughts:

I've started drinking tea. What is this world coming to?

Then again, I'm not sure you can say you've truly lived in Europe unless tea becomes part of your everyday routine.

I've been a big waste of life this weekend but I don't mind it so much because it's been fun to not have a schedule for a couple of days. It's funny that everyone always says to make the most of your time here and do as much traveling as possible, but what's the point if you're going to be miserable doing it? Taking time for yourself is important no matter where you are.

I should really be savoring all of this time off because I know when I go back to Hamilton my life will fall into the chaos that is the dreaded Senior Thesis. Not that I'm not looking forward to it (if I get my first choice...) but it's going to be a LOT of work and I'm thinking there will be several sleepless nights.

There's not much to update here in Ireland right now except that the weather is starting to warm up a bit. Of course, as soon as I say that it's going to get chilly and rainy. But for now, the weather is nice and it's going to be cool to see everything bloom here. I'm excited for when my family visits because by then everything will be greener than green and it will make sightseeing that much more enjoyable.

I still haven't decided what I want to do for my spring break. It seems like all of my American friends here have picked where they want to go and everything but I have no plan whatsoever. Several places have been suggested to me; it's just a matter of choosing a location and committing to it.

Also, I need a job. Eek. It's really hard to get hired when you're in another country. I'll probably just end up at the hospital again but who knows.

I'm not sure what most of this has to do with Ireland but I felt the need to update so there it is. Hope all is well at home!!
