Rain, Rain, Go Away

That should say it all. It's been a steady downpour the entire day. After my initial shower in my bathroom, I had several more as I walked to class and then to buy groceries. My bread didn't appreciate having a bath--neither did my textbooks. Oh well.

After I came back from my class and meeting with my professor, I put on PJs since I was completely soaked and all my other pants were in the wash. Obviously, I haven't left the house since and it's been a lovely lazy day. I have a final tomorrow, so I studied a bit for that, although I fell asleep at one point...I think I'll do okay, plus I have all morning to study.

Since I decided not to go to Europe with everyone else, I've been brainstorming places to visit in Ireland instead. I figure it'll be easier just to travel around here instead, plus it seems silly to live here for five months and only see two or three major cities when I have all this time to explore. Alice won't 'cause she saw it all a couple of years ago, and Courtney does whatever she does, so I'll be heading off on my lonesome. Should be fun, though!

Umm...what else? Well, the plan for this week is to revise my essays and then turn them in so I don't have them hanging over my head while I travel the next few weeks. After that, I want to finish my studyguides for the two finals in April so I can print them and study while I'm in the U.K. I'll have a week to study when I get back too, so I'm also not too worried about that. It's crazy that classes end on Wednesday, and that I'm basically done with all of my work. Even more shocking--two months from today at this time, I will be in the U.S. Wow. It has gone so fast, although I kind of don't mind. I really like it here, but I miss home and everyone there. I feel like my friends here are growing apart from me, so it's a bit lonely, but I talk to someone from home most days and that helps.

Maybe it's obvious, but I'm kind of mopey today. I don't feel great, it's rainy, and I have an exam tomorrow--all of those usually add up to blah. At school today everyone was in a bad mood, so Alice and I got in a tiff and Barrett and Courtney had a bit of a yelling match too. Ugh. Please come back, sun!

I guess that's about it for now. Since I'm planning on traveling around Ireland in May, please email me or let me know somehow if you have any ideas for good places to see! I'm game for most anything, so I'd love to hear suggestions. Cheers! Good night.
