Wow 10 weeks flew by

So my classes ended today (I don't have them on thursdays and this friday is Good Friday and I will be in Paris <3) and I just cannot believe how fast the time went! I'm just 2 papers away from my 1 month break then a final on March 17th.

I'm going to have such culture shock when I have to have a job and an internship this summer then 5 classes in the fall... This will be interesting to say the least :)

I CAN'T WAIT FOR PARIS (notice my excitement with the all caps and such)

June 2nd

So I'm starting my internship early so instead of coming home June 18th I'll be home the 2nd...who wants to greet me at the airport? :)

U2, Guinness, and James Joyce

I just got home from the amazing weekend that was our visit to Dublin. I cannot say enough amazing things about this city- from the people to the food to the history. My friend Erin and I arrived VERY late Thursday night after our bus/flight got a little delayed, which is my very least favorite part of traveling. Our hostel was so cute-- only a ten minute walk from Temple Bar and Dame Street.

We went to the Guinness factory, which was such a blast! We took a free tour around the city and I thought I knew a lot about Ireland's history but I had no idea. It's truly amazing to hear. We did a pub crawl which was SO MUCH FUN! We got to meet some other Americans and some really friendly and kind Irish guys. To any city that you go to I think it's such a good idea to do something like a pub crawl --- for 12 euro we got 30 mins of free beer and free shots with any other drink we bought. It's an expensive city, which does cause some issues but that didn't stop it for being amazing! I recommend Dublin to anyone and everyone...When can I go back?!

St. Paddy's Day

St. Patricks Day is surprisingly big with the Brits, and we Americans were happy to add our 2 cents. Hope everyone had a safe and lucky St. Paddy's Day!!







My first Guinness!

Puppies!

Things have been pretty slow since my dad left but I was able to finally book my hostel to Italy, which is such a relief! When I opened my email today I saw that my parents had adopted a female german shepard puppy. We want to name her Sasha or Mischa. Then, I found out WE'RE GETTING HER HALF BROTHER TOO! 2 german shepard puppies, I'm soo looking forward to meeting them in June.






My little lady!!
