School is OVER!!!!!!

Wow....it's only April and school is over! Yes, I still have three 5,000 word essays and 2 exams, but I only have 1 class tomorrow, and I'm done! My exams are 23 and 29 of April, one of my essays is due 22 April and the other two are due 18 and 20 of May! The scary part is it still doesn't feel like I'm in school. This whole semester I haven't really felt like I'm actually in school - I'm just kind of hanging out in Ireland with some classes thrown in. I'm really sad that my Irish class is over. We got certificates today to prove that we'd taken the class - It was exciting. :)
I leave Saturday morning with 3 of my friends for Dublin to start our Spring Break! On Monday morning we fly to Brussels, and from there, who knows! We're going to go to Berlin and Paris for sure (I think...lol) and maybe Amsterdam. I'm so excited! A week and a half gallivanting around Europe - how exciting is that! We're going to come back on the 15th because Viviane has an exam on the 17th and Kelsey and I have papers due the 22nd. That weekend, however, we are going to London, and the next weekend Kelsey and I are going to Italy!
On a sadder note, Katherine leaves the 29th...I think that's when it will really set in that this whole experience is almost over. I don't want it to be over! I would rather start over and do it again! I still have so much I want to do...I want to go to Scotland at some point (if my bank account holds up...this is looking more and more questionable), the Arran Islands (which should happen the second weekend in May), Connemara (this is just a day trip from Galway so it should be easy enough to get done), and Kilkenny (I went there last year and really want to go back!) So much to do, so little time and money. Sad day...

  1. Paris...Berlin...Brussels...ITALY?!?!?!? I'm officialy jealous. Hope you have a great time, though! Before you know it, you'll get to see ME. What could be better than that, huh? ;)

  2. OK Sweetheart, I hate to burst your bubble, but if you have that many papers and tests due, school is NOT over ;) We have 32 more days of school. Enjoy your Spring Break!! DD#1 is doing a virtual trip to Europe for a class. She may be contacting you for advice. Take care!!
