Update

Hey everyone! Thanks for looking at my page, and voting on my poll! I want to update but there's not much to share. I'm still waiting to hear back from University of Ulster for a certain CAS number which I need before I send my visa. I'm getting a little nervous because it's taking longer than I expected. They are 8 hours ahead so it is hard to get a hold of the secretary I've been communicating with.

I'm reading a new book about Ireland that my dad bought me. It's called Trinity, written by Leon Uris. It's about Ireland and it's struggle for freedom during the twentieth century. It's really interesting, and the best part is I'm learning the history of Ireland without even studying! I would recommend it to everyone. (Thanks Dad :))

That's about all the new news I have for now. Don't worry, the blog will get more interesting once I've started my trip. Bye for now!

Testing 1, 2, 3...

Hello! Welcome! I've decided to start a blog about my trip to Ireland. I figured I wouldn't be able to talk to everyone directly all the time so this is a good way for me to share my experiences with you all. I'm going to try to figure out exactly how to work this website, but for now I'll give you a brief overview of what I'm doing to prepare.

I am currently in the process of obtaining my visa, which has many steps and takes a loooong time. I'm also figuring out my financial aid and living situation as well. I have many books on Northern Ireland which I still need to read, and I'm saving my money for my trip from my new job at Nordstrom. If anyone has any suggestions on movies, books, tips, or other general travel information please share!
