Last week in Ireland

Hello everyone!

I can’t believe I just had my last week in Galway! I had a final for my Imagining Modern Ireland class on Tuesday, then the girls and I went to Monroe’s for our last night of Irish dancing. We ordered pizza and got to dance with Mike for the last time. I danced with him for a few songs, and I even remembered the dances from the last times! It was so much fun… I’m really going to miss going there.

Wednesday was Maggie’s last night, so we made dinner and went to a few of our favorite Irish pubs for the last time. We walked her to the bus stop at 3:30 and it was really hard to say goodbye. We all live so far away from each other and it’s hard because we don’t know when we are going to see each other again.

Friday, I had my final for my Politics of Northern Ireland class. It was really hard to study for because it’s an upper level class and I think I needed to know more basic information and I didn’t, but I think I knew enough for the essays to pass. I’m now officially on summer vacation!

Today, we walked around town and went to the market, walked to Salt Hill and the beach for the last time. It’s so strange that I’ve been walking around here for 4 months and living here, and now I have to leave. I know I’ll be back some day, but it’s definitely hard to say goodbye.

I leave tomorrow for Florence and the Isle of Capri in Italy. I’ll be back on May 11th, and I’ll hang out with my Irish roommates for the last time, then early May 12th, I leave for home! I can’t believe it’s already a week away. It’s so sad to leave, but I’m so excited to see everyone again! I love you all and hopefully I’ll be seeing you soon after my arrival to the states! ☺

Here's a few pictures from our last nights:
