predeparture nerves

Considering I head to the airport Saturday morning, I guess it's a good thing I'm almost done packing but it still doesn't really feel like I'm actually leaving. It hasn't hit me yet that I will be in Ireland all semester. Maybe it will when I'm on the plane and we fly over all the green and I see little leprechauns running around. Maybe it's like getting off the plane for Hawaii but instead of getting lauid by some hula skirt dancer-there is a little leprechaun that hands you a pot of gold.. one can wish. I hope I saved enough money this summer so I can do everything I want to do.

I have to admit leaving everyone is really hard. Visiting JCU last weekend was tough but definitely worth it. I'm glad it was a long weekend because I still didn't have enough time to say bye to everyone. Mehh. I tried seeing everyone and that kinda backfired because then I didn't really spend a lot of time with Kristen. She is who I am going to miss the most (sorry momma) we already have a great plan to keep in touch and I'm glad.

I think I'm most nervous about the living situation. I can't cook unless you count cereal, mac and cheese or eggs. That's your basic 3 food groups right there I should be set, right? Maybe I'll actually miss carrolls dining hall. yummy.

ramble ramble ramble.
