a tidbit for you…

Hello friends and family! I miss you all very much this week, and I wanted you to know! I think I can attribute it to the fact that my homework load increased by 1000 for the next two weeks before spring break. And seeing as how writing research papers is the last thing I want to be doing right now…it makes me want to be home even more. But alas, I have to remind myself that I would be doing this school thing at home, too. Nevertheless, I miss you all and think of you every day. BUT DON’T BE SAD! I’m having an amazing time and have the most fantastic travel opportunities coming up! I want to tell you all about my wonderful weekend in Cork…but it will have to come at a later date. There’s something to look forward to, ha! As you can see from my pictures, I kissed the Blarney Stone. And I now have the “gift of gab” so watch out! Next weekend I’m travelling to Belfast, the capital of Northern Ireland, with my Arcadia group. So you can be expecting an update on that as well before I head off the following weekend on my 12 day European adventure!! My friend Beth and I are travelling to Liverpool, London, Berlin, Milan, and Rome over spring break…I don’t think I had posted that wonderful news yet so go ahead, take it all in :) Hopefully I’ll have some great pictures and stories to share with you then.

In the mean time, I’ll have my nose stuck in books and my fingers glued to the keyboard. Being a student is hard sometimes…I have to continuously remind myself of the opportunities that being a student has already brought me and will continue to bring me even beyond college. It is a blessing I know, just hard to remember when I’m doing homework.”I think I can I think I can I think I can!”
