Last week in Ireland

Well, this last week has been a pretty good week. I cant complain much other than that I have to go home and get back into the real world, or so it feels. Im not ready to go home because it feels that I only just arrived, but I know I am ready to see the faces I love. Last thursday we went to Teach Dolmein, and we met the Kilkenny's! It was great to meet them the last time we'll see them, but I suppose they tour in the states as well- it would be neat to catch a show. This past weekend I stayed in Carlow, for lack of funds haha, and went to Dublin to do a little Christmas shopping at the Christmas market at docksiders. Last week I also helped a stray dog find a home, after luring him in with chicken fingers to the pet store I ran into a guy who was interested in him. After finding out that this is common in Ireland for people to just leave their dogs behind if they cant care for them and that If he were to go to the pound they would put him down after two days; I decided I would first question the guy to see if he would be a good fit. He was, it was hard to let go of the puppy because he was soooo darn cute and hard to believe someone would just leave him. I was reassured on that saturday while on the bus on my way to Dublin that the dog was in good hands because I saw the man walking him with his other dog, as well as his two children. It was a good feeling, and such a coincidence. I went out with my friends saturday to an international student party, it was a good time and afterwards we hit up scraggs alley dance floor.
Tonight is my last violin lesson with Michael. Not too happy about this but I know I will continue to play once I get back into the states, just need to restring my own violin.
3 Finals down, 1 to go, and 1 presentation.
