I am going to Ireland next year. I've "known" it for a while (partly because I , partly because the people around me didn't seem to doubt it at all, and partly because I went around to every single advisor and intern in the Hovey House and asked their opinion), but nothing was ever official. Now, my inbox will be holding that special little email for quite some time.
In actuality, it doesn't feel real yet. I still feel like I'm only saying words and living in a pipedream. I have absolutely no clue what it's going to be like, because it is rare that nine consecutive months ever feel the same, never mind nine consecutive months in a place I only wanted to spend a week in. I have some vague ideas about things I would like to do: pictures pictures everywhere, Designer and Book Marts on the weekends, going to pubs and feeling comfortable and maybe not being pressured to drink but rather to talk, talking with people, bah bah bah. It is very foggy.
Nine months is an awfully long time for anyone, not just someone who can scarcely go three weeks without needing to go home to snorgle her dog. Sometimes I think I am out of my fucking tree to go for this long (for example: it is ALWAYS overcast so I will ALWAYS have headaches). But I will not have to worry about that for a while. In the meantime, I will just bask in the "we're so proud of you" remarks and keep my fingers crossed that Ireland will make me more interesting.

Congratulations! That's so exciting. Nine months is a long time, but I'm sure you won't want to leave by the end of that time.

yay molly!! i told you you would get it! so awesome and so jealous. maybe ill be able to make mucho amounts of money this summer and put it aside for the "Jenna going to Ireland to visit Molly for a week" fund. I'll also get to live vicariously (sp?)through your pictures. You're already an interesting person so Ireland will just enhance those awesome qualities.
