Done With School!!!

Hey everyone! Sorry that it's been such a long time since I've updated my blog.... After getting back from spring break, I had lots of hopes and dreams of relating all my traveling adventures. But then I got bogged down in papers, schoolwork, and studying for finals (although, it must be admitted, it was still nowhere near as much work as I would have had if I'd been back at CMC).

Anyway, it's been over a month since my last blog post, and in that month school drew to a close. And about time, too! I finished off my last final exam this morning, and now I'm totally done. I won't, however, be returning to the states for another two weeks. This upcoming week, I'll be spending several more days in London, which will be a fun way to end my semester. For the final week and half, I'll just be here in Belfast, hanging around, maybe taking a day trip here or there, and getting ready to come back home.

To be perfectly honest, I'm more than ready to get back to the States. Don't get me wrong, the whole study abroad thing has been fun; I've learned a lot about myself and all that, visited some interesting places, met some new people, and done most (or all) of the stuff that a person studying abroad is supposed to do. But there have definitely been negatives, too, and I'm ready to get back home to my friends and my REAL school!

Alright, well, now that I have a little bit of time where I'm doing nothing, maybe I'll try to finish my spring break travel tales.... Or perhaps they will remain an unfinished story, a book without an ending, a couplet out if rhyme. You get the idea. We'll just see what happens.... All the best to all of you out there! I hope everyone's ready for summer!
