last Night in Town!

I woke up this morning at about 8 am, even though I went to bed at 4 am. So annoying! Oh well, so I continued packing and getting stuff together. Then Kelly and Tricia came with their bags and their Neil Diamond Loving Cab Driver to dump off their luggage. I took them with me to our farewell reception. It was actually quite nice. It was in the pretty, quadrangle building on campus and the wine was flowing. Boy Racer even opened up bottles of Old Style with his belt buckle. It would've been easier if he took the belt off instead of opening bottles with his crotch, but then his pants would've fallen down. The professors made a nice speech then gave us our papers. I got an A on my paper, which means I got an A in the class. Hot dog! So to celebrate we went shopping.

We shopped and I found the prettiest claddagh necklace. I am so excited. I was looking for one to buy the whole month I was here. For a break from shopping, we went to Richardson's for a pint and some funny pictures. Because god forbid we be normal for a half hour.

After a pint, we went to Nora Barnacle's home. I knocked but she wasn't home.

After some sight-seeing we got some yummy yummy ice cream. I loved it. I literally LOVED it.

And now I'm damaged goods...

At any rate, after wandering around the city, we met Katie for fish and chips for one last time at McDonagh's. Then went for a pint at King's Head... Again, for one last time.

Things are starting to get really sad. One of my professor's, Sandra Alcosser, started to say goodbye to me. And I started to get a little choked up. Then I said, "I'm in denial. I can't even think about leaving." And she said "Awe.... Then gave me a hug." HEEELOOOOO letter of recommendation.

Tonight we'll just be hanging out and packing. We have a long day tomorrow for our trip to Dublin! We leave on a 9:40 train and get in at noonish. Unfortunately, I will not be able to update you on my journeys daily until my return in the states. Try to carry on without me!
