Irish Thanksgiving

Hello! It's crazy that this upcoming week is my last week of classes! It's very hard to believe, but tomorrow marks only three weeks until I return to the USA. It's quite bittersweet that my big adventure is slowly coming to its close, but I'm going to be pretty busy with finals and travels for the next few weeks to keep me distracted from the swiftly approaching end of the semester. This week was pretty normal as well, even more normal than it would've been if I had been at home. As you know, the Irish don't celebrate Thanksgiving, so I had classes and activities as usual this week. You've pretty much already heard about Monday, so I won't rehash that again. Tuesday was an absolutely lovely day temperature-wise, with the weather in the 50's! After coming back from frigid Scotland, it was wonderful to not lose feeling in my extremities when stepping outside :) Wednesday was fairly normal as well. On Thursday, at second breakfast with Film Society...

First of all, I'm sorry for writing this post so late! I was in Scotland (maybe the picture above will make up for it) until early this morning and had to unpack/eat lunch/do homework for class, so I've just gotten around to writing this blog post right now! The school week was relatively typical, but I'll still talk about it a little bit because I have some exciting news :) On Monday, I had a fairly average day! I had class and then went straight to Pilates. I was pretty excited to feel like I was actually making progress with my flexibility/strength in Pilates! On Tuesday, I had French and Film Society before heading to Trampoline club on Tuesday night. The movie this week was Stardust, which was not what I expected but was lighthearted and fun to watch. I love going to the movies even if I have no idea what the movie is about, mostly because you get free popcorn and a drink. This time, there were extra popcorns, so I got to have two!! But my biggest accomplis...

The title of this post (which is of course, in Irish) means "She lives in London." You know when you get a phrase stuck in your head, and it's the only thing that you can think of? Well, this phrase has been running through my mind since I left for London on Thursday afternoon! Spoiler alert: I LOVED London and who knows, maybe one day this sentence will describe me! The first picture is of course the lovely London Eye. My friends and I got to ride it right at sunset and see some beautiful views. The London Eye itself is just so gorgeous and I had to share it with you! But anyway, let me chat about my week before I chat about my weekend. Monday was quite normal. I had classes as usual and then I went to pilates with a friend! The instructor made the class super challenging and I was sore from it for the whole rest of the week. On Tuesday, I went to the gym, and then a movie, and then trampoline club! It was quite busy and by the time I got home, I was exhausted and read...
