I'm currently sitting in the Dublin airport bored and hungover. =( Yuck! I don't know why I decided that drinking 5 pints of beer last night was a good idea! Anyhoo, I'm filled with mixed emotions. I am very sad to leave Galway- it truly feels like I'm leaving my home away from home. It's hard to be excited about Italy right at this moment, but I'm sure that will change as soon as I step off the plane into Rome.
I finally find myself missing home. The other day Amanda and I saw a street performer from the States. We were wondering why he sounded funny when we realized we actually missed the American accent. Sometimes it would amaze me to think that we (the Irish and Americans) speak the same language, as we often have difficulty understanding one another. I am excited to go back to consuming my normal diet and drink "normal" tasting diet coke! I can feel all the beer I have consumed these past couple months around my waistline. Oops! Back to healthy eating as soon as I get home! =)
Today will be a long day of travelling. I have a five hour lay over here in Dublin and then another 3 hour layover in Milan. Apparently I wanted to give myself plenty of time! I arrive in Rome at 9:30pm this evening and hopefully will have enough energy to maneuver myself to the train station and figure out how to get to the city centre with my little Italian. (I have neglected my Italian language studies the entire time I've been in Galway!) If I feel too tired or lazy, I may just splurge on a cab. We'll see what happens tonight. Well, thats all I have for now and my internet is going to time out soon. I don't know how my internet access will be in Italy, but I will try to post at least once while I'm there. If not possible, I will be sure to post about it as soon as I get home. Time for some vino.....ITALY, here I come!
