Back to America

With only a few more days in Cork, Ireland, I am feeling so many different emotions. As it is finals week, I am trying to ignore the feeling of stress and focus on making the most of my last two weeks. It has been a life changing experience and I am so thankful that I was able to come to Ireland and travel Europe. I have learned so much about myself and have had numerous once-in-a-lifetime  experiences.  Adjusting to a different culture was a great experience in itself, and I'm going to truly miss hearing that wonderful Irish accent everyday and interacting with the friendliest people in the world.

Life in Ireland is much more relaxed than in America. Everything is about having a "good craic" or a good time. Cork has become home and the thought of leaving makes me very sad, however, I have missed my real home since I got here. I am anxious to see my family and friends and share my stories with them over some delicious home cooked meals. I'm sure I will one day return to this incredible place since it has become a second home and I can't wait for that day. Until then, it's time to live it up in Cork and celebrate the these last four months with all of my new friends.
