Oh man. School is killing me! I know I'm sounding like a broken record here, but daaaaamn!
Send me some good thoughts and pixie dust that I make it through this term in one piece!
My time in Ireland is drawing to an end...flights back to Arkansas in a MONTH. I can't believe it. It feels like I just arrived here to this magical place. I'll never forget that feeling, looking through the window of the plane, seeing all those green rolling hills, the feeling of coming home to a place I'd never been to...
Don't get me wrong. I miss Arkansas. Hardcore sometimes. I was talking to a friend from there the other day, and was telling her just how badly I needed a six pack of Corona Light, some sweet tea with lemon and a porch to play/sing tunes on. I need some muggy Arkansas summer heat, the kind that makes you feel like you're in a sauna, the kind that makes you strip down to only the most necessary clothing. I don't think my toes have been warm in months here in the cold, damp Irish weather, even in the one week of sunshine we had a little while ago.
It's a peculiar thing, isn't it? Feeling like your home is in two places at once...
I had the good fortune to travel to London-town the week before last! Got to see most of the things I didn't see when I went in December. Big Ben, Westminster Abbey (there for choral evensong on the one year anniversary of my Mom's passing...talk about a huge moment), Parliament, British Museum, lots of beer along the way...hate that I didn't make it to the British Library. Next time, perhaps...
Pics soon xx
