I just had my final. I feel pretty good about it, but honestly all that is on my mind now is the British Isles! We are leaving for Dublin tonight, Edinburgh Tuesday and London Thursday. I am so excited to speak English, drink some good beer, and see some amazing countryside. Also, I am excited that I get to see one of my best friends, Sean, in Cork on Sunday. He is studying there this semester, so he will be able to show me around!
Well just a quick update from yesterday. Me, Dasha, Jessen and Aswini went to Breakfast in America which is a diner in the Marais. We had all been craving an American breakfast, since breakfast here is very simplistic. It was a rainy morning, but we braved it and when we got there I was so excited. It was decorated like a diner, and we got to sit in a booth. I ordered a connecticut omelette (ham and cheddar), potatoes, bottomless coffee and then Dasha and I shared a plate of French Toast. Needless to say, that was my only meal of the day. It was so delicious. It made me miss my dad's breakfasts when he would make me and my brother eggs, toast, and hash browns.
After breakfast Jessen and I went to a cafe to study, and then when we came back to the dorm we studied. I cannot even tell you how many hours I studied. It made me miss Chicago study sessions though. I remember me and Kelsey taking over a study room, barricading ourselves in the room. We would stay up late typing frantically, sleeping for an hour at a time, eat frosting and cookie cough and drinking life threatening amounts of caffeine. Our study session made me nostalgic for that. There were a ton of us studying in Dasha's room, occasionally taking breaks to gossip and getting off of track. But when I did go to bed, I felt pretty good about the final, and our study session did pay off.
Well it is time to pack. In six hours I will be in Dublin! Have a great 10 days everyone!
