Happy Halloween...a bit early!

Well Richy had never carved a pumpkin before so we gave it a go! Then Richy made pumpkin soup! YUM!

Grad School!

So I'm right in the thick of things with my degree! You forget the little bubble students create for themselves! Somehow you forget what is going on in the rest of the world and all you can talk about is your project..or due dates (not babies), or I don't know the library! It makes me nuts!

Really learning a lot though but in such a short period of time! What I have left to do before I come home for xmas is...
Produce a Documentary (found a great interior designer to help with this project)
Write a research paper and then present it to my peers (yikes)
Create my own website
Another research paper comparing the different frames used by the Irish and UK media during Northern Ireland's troubles! (haven't started this one yet!)
Write a Script! (using Richy's bike story as the base for this one)
A large Graphic Design project!

So as you can see I'll be busy!
This weekend Richy and I are away to Edinburgh Scotland! So exciting for both of us to go back! Ahhhh that is where we met! Looking forward to seeing the city again and meeting some of Richy's friends from college!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

In the blogging mood!

So I should be doing research but I find myself checking out flights back home for Christmas, looking at other people's blogs, and just wasting time on the web!

Anyway update on the tanning situation! I decided after Molly used the word botox that tanning was a thing in my past! And 80 Euro for 120 minutes is an expensive way to get wrinkles! I decided to put my money to better use and join a gym! Now I can work off all those yummy sweets, Irish breakfasts, and potatoes that I've enjoyed since my arrival!

Question for y'all as well...Who do you think will win the election??? This isn't who do you want to win but what is your feeling about who will get the votes in the end.... About every other person asks me who I'm voting for over here....kinda strange cause we have it in our brains not to talk bout religion and politics! haha even though some of us do! : )

this last weekend!

Hi there! Richy and I enjoyed a nice and relaxed weekend! No housewarmings, no stabbings, no late nights in the pub, no trips across the country! Just chilled in Dublin and it was great!

Sometimes I live in a Seinfield episode

Random but funny! So I was in the restroom stall here at the college and found out too late that there wasn't any toilet paper. There was someone next to me, so I said as you do..~excuse me, is there toilet paper in your stall?~ I kinda thought this was international for 'hey give me some toilet paper' the girl said 'yeah there is toilet paper' she then flushed the toilet and left! Isn't that in a Seinfield episode?? too funny!

Pics from my relaxed weekend to come soon!

She's Back......

Okay...I'm guilty and those of you who know me know .......I like Britney Spears... I've had to like her under cover though for the last two years cause she's embarrassed me! But the girl is finally back I have to say! She has that pep in her step! Good for her!

I will now call out those of you who I know like her too! (can't be the only one embarrassing myself on the Internet) Ashley, Molly, Courtney, Emily, Leah, Kayla, DARREN! Ellen??? BRANDY! ANDI!!! who else am I missing??? I know there are more closet brit fans....let me know and I'll add ya! ha!
