It's all gone by so quickly, but as all things begin, they too must end. At this point in time, I'm in exam time, handing in coursework, preparing for exams and enjoying Belfast in all its capacity. Ruth and I have begun to create a 'to-do' list of things we want to do or try before we leave Belfast, some things on that list include climbing the Mourne Mountains, have a pint in well known pubs that aren't named 'Kelly's', hike the front of the Black Hills then watch the sunset, and try potcheen (Ruth's idea). It's going to be a hard transition back to the States after the life I've begun to make for myself here, I wish I could stay for longer!
The weather has been beautiful here and the Botanic Gardens are in bloom and so fragrant! When the sun is out, I sit outside in the gardens and picnic and do my work..... but then it will begin raining so I always have to go into the library and actually do work there. Boo.
I've done so much, and achieved some dreams I never really ever thought could actually come true, but I never could have done this without the support of my family and friends back home, as well as the friends who I've met here.
I'm sorry to say, but this will most likely be my final entry because I'll be busy with exams and seeing the last of Belfast before I leave, but I hope it hasn't been too boring to read about my mile long stories! Here are some last minute photos from some memorable times I've had here in Belfast. See you all soon, I fly back to the States on June 12th and look forward to seeing or hearing from all of you very soon!
All my love and prayers,
Slán!
