Tomorrow morning, very early, my husband will arrive in Dublin. And on Saturday we will move all of my things out of my room in college and into a new apartment about a 10 minute walk away. I am extremely excited to have Andrew here to share in the remainder of my time. But it is also a reminder that this experience is almost over. Leaving this room feels sad and strange. It really has become my home over the past several months, and a piece of me will be left in it. I took down my colored lights that have been hanging around the room all year. I emptied my bookshelf. I have started to clean out my closet. It is a bit of journey down memory lane. I never thought I would become so attached to this little room with its tiny bathroom! :) The new apartment will be phenomenal, but I will no longer be in the centre of college. I will be out in the real city, which may be a bit of an adjustment from the cosy, sheltered life in college. I will miss sitting at my desk trying to work and being constantly distracted by the passersby on the street and the goings on in the buildings across the way. It is the end of one part of the journey, and therefore also the beginning of another part. I will post pictures of the new apartment as soon as we get into it this weekend!
Farewell hollowed halls of Trinity campus...may we meet again in the future! Oh, btw, you will be able to find me just across college in the library working on my dissertation should you miss me too much! <3
