Thanks for tuning in...

Last Post...

Well, this is my last post from Ireland.

It didn't really hit me until yesterday that I'm leaving tomorrow...and I'm actually sad. I'd been so excited about seeing everyone again, that I forgot to run around and take pictures of everything I want to remember! So I'm doing that today.  I'm also going to Christmas/souvenier shop. And mail things. And turn in my last paper.

And then, tonight, I saw goodbye to Ireland via one last night out. I'm going to miss all the people I met here...especially chums like Greg and Jess. Hopefully we'll meet again.

Now, goodbye Ireland, a gra ma chroi ... or something like that.

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris or Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm

May be surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I gotta go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
This was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In either Paris or Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home

less than 24 hours, loves. cya soon!

Okay. So I've dedicated the last few DAYS on my paper, only to hear from my classmates that they did it in 3-5 hours. Something is definitely wrong here.

And, thanks to everyone's comments, I am no longer worried about my friends' finals stress, though I can now concern myself with other things...like theology.

Papers today.

Classes tomorrow.

Shopping on Wednesday.

USA on Thursday.

I'm the last Cedarvillian standing in Ireland!! do I get a prize or something?

I got a 65 on my first paper. not bad considering a 70 = an A+ and 40 is passing...

now just 2 more papers to go. and isn't it now finals week back home for all you Cedarpeeps? good luck. just remember - all these things are meaningless in the end. God doesn't judge you by how well you did in school or life - so relax and just give it your best. moment of wisdom over - have fun at the taj christmas party.

-love-

Today was a very very good day.

My boss(es) took me out to an Italian restaurant, I was given an excellent performance review for my internship by Cathy (the woman in charge of me), I was refunded 85 Euro for my lunch and travel expenses, and Cathy gave me two going away gifts - a Celtic designer brand silver bangle (for unknowing boys...thats a bracelet), and a book on Irish slang I had been eyeing and laughing over for months. After work we all met for wine and and refreshments to say thank you to all of us volunteers and then I handed in my key and came home. My last day - done. But not before I made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for my bosses and took pictures of them trying this 'new' food.  Pretty humorous... until one of them got sick.

Now I have 4.5 days to complete 2 papers, 1.5 to shop, and 1 to get myself back to Cedarville. Tears of joy.
