.Ireland has the best food I have ever consumed, ever
.despite contrary belief, it isn’t that expensive to thrive in Ireland
.technology always seems to ruin everything, which is ironic since it has been designed to help us
.keeping up with facebook, tumblr, study abroad blog and the most recent ‘Moodle’ platform for Irish school is exhausting and rather unenjoyable. I think I will begin to post more consistently here and then anything/anyone else can do with that what they please
.as much as i love Ireland, i might be allergic to this beautiful land; i’m starting to resemble sneezey the dwarf
Green is far more than a color to us. It’s a symbol for everything that we are, and everything that we’ve been through.
When I was three years old, my family took a vacation to Northern Ireland for my Nana and Papa’s 50th wedding anniversary. I honestly don’t remember much about this trip but it does hold my first and favorite memory. I remember sitting at the top of the stairs at my Nana and Papa’s while everyone else was in their rooms just doing their own thing. I was trying incessantly to tie my shoes for the very first time and kept failing. Then, for the first time in my life, in a foreign country no less, I tied my shoes. I cannot express how happy I was in that moment. I screamed at the top of my lungs for everyone to come out. They all raced out of their rooms to see what was going on. When I showed my family my freshly tied shoes, my moms first response was “They are on the wrong feet”. I was so devastated because I was convinced that I would never be able to tie them again. And that is exactly what I told my mom. Thus began my life long flaw of no confidence in myself whatsoever. Why this is my favorite memory, I have no idea. But to this day, it is. The end

That movie I planned to love but instead sort of hated
LOOK FAMILIAR?
BECAUSE IT SHOULD
The Rock of Dunamase
Which we visited
TWICE
(Because the tour guide screwed up
we were supposed to go to the Cliffs of Moher
but all’s well
because I got better photos the second time around
So if they thought they could sneak this past me they were wrong
It’s embedded in my brain through two sets of photo edits)
(such liars. The movie put it next to that train station and called it the Rock of Cuchulainn or something. LIKE NO ONE WOULD NOTICE)
What I am saying, Hannah
is
that
our feet have trod the same dirt as Matthew Goode.
