Wrapping Up?
Crazily enough... It's MAY! And my time abroad is winding down. It is hard to think about, I'll be honest... but there will be plenty of time for reflection on that later on.
Now, I am busy planning out my last weeks here! Like usual I'll be on the go for a majority of the time. There are big events this weekend... May Ball is on Friday night and sounds like it will be quite the night! You can't turn around at St. Andrews without getting handed a flyer for some sort of ball... but this is the Biggie. The Biggie Ball. I think they should call it that... it has a nice ring to it. Anyway, super excited for that and looking bea-u-ti-ful!
Then, Saturday night we're heading down to Edinburgh to cheer Rachel on in a 10K race on Sunday morning, with plenty of time for shopping included.
And it just keeps getting more and more exciting because on Monday I'm taking off on a solo trip to Dublin for a few days. I just booked my tickets and there is a book about Dublin on my desk waiting to be picked up. Extrordinarily excited to see the Book of Kells at Trinity College, but other than that, does anyone have any suggestions for must-see Dublin activities?? I'm still trying to decide if I should trek out to Cork and the Blarney Stone... I'll see how it all shakes out.
I'll be back in Scotland for two more weeks, my two final exams, and the frightening task of packing up what I came with... plus the few odds and ends I've picked up since I arrived in Europe on January 16th. Yikes.
May 25th, I'll head down to London and spend the night with MacKenzie Moon, another Hamline study-abroader and London expert... she's studying abroad for a full 12 months!! And she'll send me off to the airport on Thursday morning... and next stop?
Minneapolis!!!

Hello Liza,
Places to visit in the emerald isle.
Downtown Dublin St. Miken or Micken Church. Shake the hand.
Great Tweed shop right by Trinity College on Griffin Street.
Lots of Puds in Dublin. Woof!!!
If you go to Cork you should try to get to the Waterford Crystal shop, in Waterford and go on the Tour. It is very good.
The Blarney Castle is like the other castles but this Castle has the stone that needs to be kissed for the gift of gab.
I am glad you are getting to do as much as you can before you leave for the old USA.
Have a pint of Guiness you know it is good for you.
Liza, Max and I are tinking of you and the great time we shared with you in Scotland.
I will send you this e-mail some guy from Vancover sent to Max and I on Scotland by Robin Williams. We met him at the Jury in the pub. That was a great pub.
Love you.
