I'm Back!!

Today is my first full day back in America! This past week has been a whirlwind of studying, packing, and saying good byes. Yesterday was a really long day of travelling. We had to get on the bus to Dublin at 3am (Ireland time) to get the rest of the group their on time for their flight, so most of us did not sleep that night. I flew separately, so I was just waiting around for several hours. I then flew from Dublin to Boston and then from Boston to Pittsburgh, where I met my dad. We then had an hour and a half drive back home. I was so exhausted and confused haha.

My dad made me a sign for picking me up from the airport that had a shamrock on it :) My family made signs for the back door and my room welcoming me. They also got me a cookie cake and put flowers on my nightstand!! It was really sweet! They are the best!

The sign in front of it says "Welcome home!"

It's weird to have to get re-adjusted to things that I have grown up with. For example, I got really excited in the parking lot when I realized that the cars would be driving on the right side of the road. And I had to remind myself that I could no longer use euros to pay for things. I'm so excited that I can plug things straight into the wall without needing an adapter or converter! It may sound weird, but I keep having to remind my self that I am in America. I am glad to be back, but I really miss Ireland.

This trip has been amazing; I am so blessed. I have loved every moment of it, and I will never forget it. And I'll already trying to figure out when I can go back!!

I don't know if I'll be posting again, so I just want to say thanks to everyone who has been following my blog!!
