I’m not leaving Dublin just yet. \u00a0I wanted to get that out there, just for complete honesty’s sake. \u00a0I am, however, leaving Dublin very<\/em> soon, and most of the students in my program left today. \u00a0I am hitting up Rome for a few days, then dropping by Dublin again before I depart Europe entirely. \u00a0I’m leaving in a week. \u00a0I’m keeping sadness at bay by just looking at the town where I got to spent three and a half glorious, adventurous, hilarious months.<\/p>\n

I’m still finding new things to entertain and amaze me. \u00a0For example:<\/p>\n

\"daffodil<\/a><\/p>\n

In St. Stephen’s Green, there is a rolling little hill that is now blooming with daffodils. \u00a0It’s like something out of a children’s book.<\/p>\n

\"snowglobe<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we have Jesus and Mary in a snowglobe. \u00a0I snicker every time.<\/p>\n

\"a<\/a><\/p>\n

Ah, the proof that a pint is perfectly poured! \u00a0The foam on the top of your Guinness should be able to hold a match upright. \u00a0Note that this does not apply if you’ve taken a sip first. (I don’t like Guinness but it is a beautiful drink–the fact that it changes color from latte-brown to black within a minute constantly impresses me.)<\/p>\n

\"balcony\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I have always adored this balcony. \u00a0It’s a second-floor one and it just looks so pretty and so out of place on this building.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_1785\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s sadly hard to read, but this building says “Sick and Indicent Roomkeepers Society Founded A.D. 1790.” \u00a0I have no idea what goes on in there. \u00a0I’m not sure I want to find out. \u00a0Perhaps it’s been quarantined.<\/p>\n

I will hopefully post a few things about Rome after I return from there but my study abroad experience, my travels, and my blogging are drawing to a close. \u00a0I’ll probably have some sappy reflections on my life in my last post, so consider yourselves warned!<\/p>\n
