Irish Lessons, Part I
Three exams down! Two to go! yay! I'm really, really happy those are over. I was just really antsy, and so sick of studying. So yay for finished exams! I have a few days now until the next exam on Saturday and I can take a break and read some fanfic (hopefully!!!!!!!) and relax into some fandom (possibly... oh gods, I hope so). This morning was a major "I just want this to be over and I just want to read this one fanfic" moment.
Speaking of which, I took a quick break and tried to find the fanfic I was thinking of and I couldn't find it! I'm thinking the author might have taken it off fanfic.net, 'cause I'm pretty sure I knew where it was/who wrote it :o( But I...I'm determined to find it! ahh!! :o(
Now that most of my finals are over, I'm at the point where I can start cleaning up things and packing. And as I was walking back from the store today I started to think about that and what it really means. I've been living here for four months on my own... a foreign country without anyone to cook or shop for me, where I'm in charge of myself and what I do and all my plans. And I was surprised this afternoon when I thought about that and thought about going home and started to get a lil sad, and started to feel a lil bit of some teary eyes comin' on. It'll be good not to have to constantly think about getting the next meal ready, or whatever, but I think packing is gonna be a bit harder than I thought. I learned a lot here (not so much school wise, but just in general wise) and it's going to be interesting to take that back home. And I'm kinda sad to be leaving here, I realized. No, I won't miss the kitchen mess or the assholes who come to the flat (or that freakin doorbell), but yes, I'll miss the walks, the independence, the Irish countryside that's kinda easily accessible (once you get past the making the plans part).
So yeah... lots of thinking lately. I think Alix's visit kinda sparked some of that. Alix is not the most independent person I know (in fact, she's probably my least independent friend) and so it's been funny to live with her for the past almost a week and a half. It's made me realize how much I like being independent and on my own, in a sense. I can't wait to get back to SU, and see my friends and family back home, but I think I'm gonna have more of a sense of independency then before. I hope haha.
So we'll see. It'll be interesting to go back home and see how some things translate. So it'll be an experience packing up and preparing to go back home again. And... then I have to start thinking about going to Russia? Umm... no. Won't think of that yet. Oh man, what did I get myself into? haha.
Okay, I'm off to do some internet searching (Alix is back to napping, and as bad as it sounds, I'm grateful for it :oP). See ya later!
