Lovely Day in the Neighborhood

It's a lovely day in the neighborhood!

Also, guess who's here! :) Just in time for the snow..

My Living Quarters

This one's for you, dad! The local church.

As well as my room... :) I guess you can stalk me now and know where I live.

A little bit of America here in Ireland 

This probably made my day

Living in a Dream

I cannot believe I've been living in Ireland for more than a month now. What?!

Everything goes by so fast around here. It reminds me of the quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off...
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
And this is why I have procrastinated doing my paper two days before it is due, because you just need to slow down and enjoy life sometimes, right? So, that is what I'll be doing today.

This past week we've been trying to prepare ourselves for this upcoming week: Rag Week in Maynooth. It kind of reminds me of spirit week but different. Apparently it gets pretty crazy... 

Among relaxing last week I was invited to a ball in Dublin. We took a party bus to a club that they rented out and danced, talked, and ate pixie sticks. It was a ton of fun to say the least, except we ate some pretty gross fried mushrooms that we thought were chicken nuggets. I definitely see some of my dad in me while wearing this tie around my head... I'm sure anyone who knows my him would agree. 

Taig and I 

As my Pinterest addiction continues I found this quote on there and I just feel like it could be useful for everyone. (sorry if it's hard to see)

I guess procrastinating has to be over sometime, time to do this paper. Let the fun continue!
