Getting Impatient

Today was my 5th day of school, for the most part I feel OK, and time is actually going by so fast, but at the same time I almost feel its not going fast enough. I just want time to speed past and find myself getting impatient to be able to actually prepare for my move to Ireland. 2017 just seems so far away, and even though I know I will be busy for the next year and a half and time will go by fast...its just one of those days where I'm just ready for my tomorrow.

I know that I just have to keep in mind that though it may feel like it's not going fast enough at the moment, before I know it, it will be my tomorrow.

I was looking back on photo's from my time in England in 2010 and just made me even more impatient to be back over that way, that being said I know that it will come, and I just need to breathe, relax, and wait. Patience has certainly never been my strong suit. So to steal a note I made on my facebook and add some things to it, here is a list of things I must see/do in Ireland.


  • Guinness Storehouse (Dublin)
  • Trinity College (Dublin)
  • Leprechaun Museum (Dublin)
  • Skellig Michael
  • Boyne Valley
  • Ring of Kerry
  • Giant's Causeway
  • Aran Islands
  • The Burren
  • St. Patrick's Cathedral
  • Dublin in general
  • Killarney National Park
  • Wicklow National Park
  • Galway
  • Donegal
  • The Rock of Cashel
  • Doolin in County Clare
  • The Dingle Peninsula

  • Blarney Castle

Let's Try This Again

I find myself sitting at my computer wanting to write a blog. I have a lot coming up on my plate and I think to say that I am stressed out is a bit of an under statement at this point, but I'm trying to just breathe, relax, and have faith that everything will work itself out in the end.

Tomorrow marks my first day at school, I'll be taking my GED (Graduation Equivalency Diploma) program for the next 5 months after which I'm going to be applying for the 10 month Administrative Assistant course at Grant Mac, the plan is that once I'm done all of my courses to move to Ireland with the SWAP program in 2017, so yes a lot on my plate, but in hind sight it is all very exciting, and I'm looking forward to embarking on these new journeys. 


SWAP Ireland is something I have wanted to do for years, so I am very determined to make it happen. Of course dreaming of places like Dublin, Galway, Cork, Belfast, and even Waterford make it very easy for me to strive for the move in 2017. 

Now if only I can find a way to battle the woes of adulthood, and finances, and weave my way through the obstacles, I know that great things will be waiting for me at the finish line.

I leave you all with this beautiful picture of the Cliffs of Moher...as if that isn't enough to make you want to runaway to Ireland right NOW! (Not my photo)
