A study Abroad

[Mac]

I realize I have not been posting or updating this past week or two, but I have just begun school, applying for college, and preparing for my study abroad. Yes, little ole Macaroan gets to go to a foreign country for four months! I'm not sure how much internet access I will have but I will be taking my computer to type essays for college and junk.

I'll try to post as much as I can over the next two weeks but unfortunately I can make no promises. If worst comes to worst I will not be able to post at all until I return.

When do you leave? August 29

For where? Galway, Ireland

When will you get back? December 13

Why Ireland? I realize there are a lot of jokes about the Irish- especially from the British- and questions about why they drink so much but Ireland has so much folklore and history surrounding it. I just like the thought of being able to spend four months in such a historical place. Hmm . . . England has just as much history and tales- not to mention Shakespeare- but I hopefully will get there eventually if we are still able to fly in ten to fifteen years from now.

And another note: I dearly want to apologize for not being able to post my pictures. I'm still trying, honestly. Blame my ISP and internet connector devices and my inane* house that does not allow any electronics to work inside it.

*Perks for using a vocabulary word! Yah! ^_^

Oh, wow, that sounds so much fun! I've always wanted to go to Ireland, but never got round to getting there... Take lots of photos of the wonderful inspiring scenery! (If it does exist... It's almost a myth!)

^_^ Make sure you enjoy yourself, and don't worry about posting here - if you can't, you can't, and it's not your fault. No doubt you'll be very busy, even if you do have internet access.

*envious*

Eheh. ^_^

I'll try and find a way to post my pics or do a photobucket. I have great pics from Venice and London that you'd like, Ru. Though it's not the same as actually walking the streets there they are pretty cool for the main highlights.

These past weeks have been hectic for me. Dwindling by like an inebriated pauper, the neglect of this site and my fellow roleplayers eats away at my heart and mind. Regretfully, my plane leaves in less that ten hours, and the attention I have failed to give this site cannot be made up in a mere hour or two. So, I must bid farewell to those who know another side of me; yes, my imagination is kept between my, the keyboard, and paper. Sad it is, that only recently that inner me has been locked away from the public, and only recently has it begun to show.

To save time from deciphering my message I'll sum it up:

I am deeply sorry for not being around much and that I won't be around much in the future. I've just been really busy with the trip, applying for college, making sure I can graduate, and working on my essays for scholarships. Please for give me. I will try to make it up before spring- I think I'll be mobile from the hand cramps and piles of scholarships essays and AP English essays around then!

I'll be able to post ALL my pictures within the next few weeks. I'll also try to recopy tidbits from my journal before I return.

Ciao, pals!

Byebye Mac! HAVE THE BEST TIME!

*hugs* Real life is frequently more important than these boards. Don't worry about it. I for one will still be popping in here when next you get on...

Tata! We'll miss you! But enjoy yourself!

[Ru'Thor]

Oooh, Mac! We'll miss you! And don't worry about being busy- it happens to everyone!

HAVE FUN!!! *glomph*

[Shira]

Have fun, Mac! I always wanted to get out of the states myself, just to see anywhere. I think I'll blend well in Britian, or in another accented English speaking country. Everyone says I talk like I'm from Britian -- I was even confused for being Austrailian once, which is funny since I was born and raised in Wisconsin and Illinois. ^^
