T-Minus Two Days

In less than 48 hours, I will be on a flight to Dublin. I'm (sort of) packed. I've skimmed some guidebooks. I'm ready to go. And in some ways, I've been ready for this trip since I was a toddler.

I've always wanted to study abroad and I can't believe that the time is actually here. A year ago, it seemed like time was dragging and this moment would never come. But now that I'm sitting here, staring it in the face, I don't fully believe that it has come. I'll be meeting new people, learning new names, seeing new places. I'm definitely nervous about a lot of things, but especially about pronouncing Gaelic words. It may seem silly, but stay tuned for an anecdote where I embarrass myself, because I'm sure it will happen at some point.

Despite the nervousness, I know that the next 4 1/2 months will be totally amazing and completely unforgettable. I'll do my best to update this blog for anyone that wants to keep up!
