travels

it is official! I am in Ireland until March! I booked the flight home for Christmas today! 
YAY!
So I will be stateside from 13 December to 4 January, so mark your calendars, becuase I'd love to see people. I know it is tough with the holidays and all, but it would be great to see people :) 
And then I will be back in Ireland for three more months! 


So I'm quite excited about that, also now that it is almost November I really need to get started on looking up stuff for when the parents are over and booking hotels/rental car, but first bloody UCC needs to decide on when conferring is. I know it is sometime during the week of 8-12 December, but other than that, no clue. Fingers crossed for Monday or Tuesday, just because it makes everything easier planning wise. I just love planning trips. The last two days at work I've figured out some plans for this weekend's adventure to Belfast! And started to look up some stuff about Spain for when Amy comes! I seriously would love to be a professional traveler, how does one get that type of job? 

So I'm quite excited about Belfast and the Giants Causeway! I was supposed to go up with my Early Start class in September 2005 when I was studying abroad, but there was an unusually high amount of violence that month, so my professor didn't want to take 20 American students, so we spent 4 days in Dublin instead of 2/2. So I'm finally getting to go. The weather is looking to be Irish, 10-12 and showers. Typical...So other than planning trips and booking flights, nothing much else going on. 

So  facebook has alerted me that another friend is engaged. Ahhhhhhh! This one couple in particular was quite shocking, I remember when I realised through facebook that they were dating and was like seriously? I guess though because I am nowhere near wanting to be married it just seems crazy at 23 to be even thinking about the idea of spending the rest of your life with one person... And also this weekend one of my close friends is getting married. It is crazy to think that someone I have known since I was 13 is getting married, and just how totally different our lives are, believe me I have a shoebox full of letters over the last 10 years and the ones from 8-10th grade are hilarious! I got a letter from her yesterday and just discussing things in our life and reading it I was like wow, she is so grown up, and it made me seem like a kid still. I'm not complaining at all, I love my life. And the things I want to do before I settle down, well that list is quite long. 

Anyway, happy Wednesday. Off to the pub to join my fellow mountaineers for some craic.

Isn't it crazy that people are getting married (or are already married) at our age. I can't even imagine spending the rest of my life with someone right now...
