James Joyce's grave

T-minus 5 weeks

Well the time is quickly approaching for my departure to Ireland!  And of course I am well into my preparations (because I wouldn't be myself if I wasn't).  I have been reading for some of my courses in order to get a head start on some of the work.  Afterall, I am quite a slow reader. :)  Vertue Rewarded and Castle Rackrent have provided me with hours of interesting reading.  I am currently moving on to the poetry of Jonathan Swift which I am excited to read!
In addition to my reading, I am trying to organize an appropriate wardrobe and limit the amount of "stuff" I am compelled to bring along with me when I go abroad.
The toughest part of prep is waiting to hear about my housing assignment!!  I cannot wait to know where I will be living and begin to envision and plan my room design.
In the meantime, I am enjoying my time with Andrew and supporting him while he finishes his thesis.
