So just an update, now both of my armpits hurt, haha I laugh even typing that because I feel like an idiot but now they both hurt and you can see a small round bump on it, about the size of a dime. They're red too. So hopefully they'll go away soon or else I'm going to start to worry.
Today are work well it's about normal, my bosses once again aren't here! Oh well.
Tonight the girls and I are going to a club called Dicey's, I asked my Irish friend about it and he said it's a lot of fun, so it should be a good night! Oh and since Edward Bulmer Hands with the Irish men was cancelled because of their work he wanted to reschedule, so hopefully we'll teach these Irish how to play on Thursday. I told him to wear comfy clothes in case he had to use the facilities while playing the game, his response was "I better not piss myself" haha. Thursday should be an interesting night! But we're all trying to get the most out of our trip since it's coming to a end very quickly.
Scotland is this weekend, which will be a lot of fun, we're going to see Loch Ness, I'm so excited!!! We might go see a movie tomorrow night...not sure since the cinemas here are expensive! But I'm trying to convince my friends to go to this club called the Wright Venue, heard it's really good, and it's won some awards about being the best in Dublin. It's kind of far away but it looks like a lot of fun, the other Irish people we've met go there all the time so we'll see!
So an instant update on the day, one of my bosses just walked into our office and was surprised to see us there, he said "oh didn't think you were here..." Umm where else would we be besides work...I'll leave if you want me to! Just thought I'd mention that, it was weird!
And to clarify, I'm excited to go home for certain reasons, I want to see my family and friends first and foremost (so mum yes of course I'm excited to see you) and I'm excited to see Junior (my car), and move into a different place. But I'm not all that excited to go back to school. School has been really rough for me these past few years-actually ever since I started-and I'm ready to be done. I was talking to the Dj yesterday about being here and not wanting to leave, he asked me if I would ever live here, I quickly responded yes, I feel at home here, the people are great, the city is fun and warming. He then responded umm are you sure you're not Irish...haha I said I am Irish but not as Irish as you are...he looked at one of my pictures the other night and said that I have the Irish look, that cheeky smile, he said if it weren't for my clothes people wouldn't know I was American, which I took as a compliment. I told him yes I'd be willing to go abroad for a lot longer sometime in the near future, but I have to finish school first...unfortunately. So for the record I miss my family and friends a lot yes...but as most of them know I don't get homesick all that often and since Dublin has a special place in my heart now it will be really hard to leave-it's going to feel like I'm leaving another home. One good thing about that feeling though is that I will make a plan to come back sometime soon, I know this won't be my only abroad experience, or at least I won't let it be. This experience has opened my eyes to so much more and more opportunities to explore and see new things.
I'm not the typical 20 aged girl that wants to find a husband and settle down while still young, yes I did want that but after growing up a bit and seeing my friends get married young and some of them divorce I have realized thats not my cup of tea...so I can see myself exploring the world for the next few years, ha all I need is some money and a backpack! Of course I do want to see the US as well, this whole trip has just shown me that it is possible to get out and see what you want to see as long as you can find a way. Hostels have shown me that you can stay some place cheap and it not be a problem. No offense to any Colorado people but I want to get out and explore, yes I LOVE Colorado and would eventually like to settle down there but I'm only 21, almost 22, and have so many more years ahead of me, to get stuck and bogged down in one place while being so young seems pointless to me. These are the times where I can just pick up and leave and it not be a huge problem. So I'm going to try to make that happen, of course it's easier said than done so mum don't worry it's not like it's happening RIGHT now, but yes I'd like this to not be my only overseas trip! I'd also like my family to see it all too.
This is something I'll never forget, the things I have learned about myself, about the world, about other people are things that I will take with me forever. I have truly gained so much from this experience, so much about myself and about others. I would never trade this for anything, even knowing how broke I'm going to be when I get home, I still wouldn't trade it! Thank you mum and dad for giving me this opportunity, you both are wonderful and again I am eternally thankful!
I just wish this feeling and this experience wouldn't have to end...because my reality back home with school isn't this glamorous. Not that I go out every night or do something fun and exciting every night here but school back home just puts me in a depressing mood...I need to find some way to counteract this feeling before I go home or else I'll just fall into the same damn routine...any suggestions?!?! I'm open to any help, because at this point having one year left and no more motivation I need all the help I can get! So for any of you out there that have gone to college or not what are your suggestions to keep going?!?!
