I leave in 10 days, and my ambivalence is becoming crippling. I miss my friends, and I can't wait to see them, and see my nephew, and be in Weymouth, and move into my apartment and all the shit that goes with that, and start learning relevant stuff, and begin the transition into an actual physical therapist...
...but I'm going to miss Ireland so much; miss DCU and Shanowen Square and Dublin and Dublin Bus and Temple Bar and everything else I see everyday. I'm going to miss my roommates; they've been gorgeous since the first day I got here. I couldn't have asked to live with better people. I'm going to miss my friends, miss Amanda and talking to her everyday. She and I have conversations that I couldn't, or don't, have with anyone else. About important stuff, about existential stuff that makes other people uncomfortable, but we do it weekly. I think and hope we've learned a lot from each other, and I'm not ready to stop seeing her all the time. And it's not that easy to continue a friendship with someone who readily admits they're not good at staying in touch, even though we live so close. I never expected to make such a good friend in my time here, and it makes me sad to think about not being friends anymore. It's easily what I'll miss most about Dublin.
