Hello, Goodbye

As I left Winona this afternoon with everything packed into my mom's car, it slowly came to me that I would not be going back to school at Saint Mary's for the rest of my junior year. The next time I would be taking a class at Saint Mary's would be when I'm a senior. Scary. While this reality hit me (as well as how many clothes I need to get rid of) , the reality of leaving home has not yet sunk in. Since I will not be leaving till February 3rd, I will be preparing, working, and relaxing before my future endeavors abroad in Northern Ireland. Over the holiday season and well into January I will be writing about the stress, excitement, anxiety and happiness I will be feeling pre-Northern Ireland and then of course when I am there I will be documenting my experiences via this wonderful blog! More to come...
