15 Days..

So, there is 2 days until I finish school, 6 days until Christmas, 9 days until I'm done with work, 12 days until New Years Eve, 13 days until my goodbye party, and 15 days until I leave.  It is all coming so fast! I can't believe it!
I went to orientation in Albany a few weeks ago. It was very informative, and got me pretty pumped.  I also met one of the guys that is in the program.  He is actually on my flight over, and we have made plans to travel to Galway together from Shannon.   I'm excited to get to know the 6 of these people that are going, and I'm also so excited to meet new people over there.
 I am told that one of my counsins, AnnLouise, has a goddaughter that goes to NUI.  I'm hoping I get to meet her and basically get a crash course on what to do in Galway as well as how to actually succeed in doing pretty good in school.  What I'm worried about is procrastionating and not getting things done.  I'm going to set up 2 or 3 days a week where I only do school work/ study, instead of going out.  Hopefully I'll stick to it.  Also, when I get an assignment I'm going to try to do it that day, or get most of it done.  We'll see what happens! 
 I haven't really explored what I wanted to do when I'm in Ireland yet.  I'm pretty much waiting until I'm done with school before I look at it.  Jaq Jaq bought me an "Ireland: For Dummies" book for Christmas, and I'm SO excited to start looking at it. 
I think that is about it for now.. I'll probably post again before I leave!
