Life on a Dartboard

Sorry I haven't been updating this blog lately. To be quite honest, I've either been quite busy or too tired to update this thing. The first two weeks of Ireland were manageable, as the jet lag wore off and we were ready and rearing to go. However, the fatigue of traveling and hour(s)-long bus trips are starting to take a toll on me. I occasionally doze off during the bus rides and I'm finding myself retiring to bed earlier and earlier every night. It's exhausting moving 50km (no idea how many miles are that) every couple of days. Not to mention that dreaded 3 hotels in 3 nights ordeal (Galway, Ballina, Killarney). But, it's been amazing to say the least. We're traveling down the western Ireland coast, were the bog land reigns supreme. The land is barely arable (yay, vocabulary words from high school! It means farmable) but it has its own distinct beauty to it. There's a stronger connection to nature that's been achieved and recognized the more we travel; I love it. Sadly, I have no pictures to post at the moment but I'll probably get around to it at some point tomorrow. Also, it's probable that I'll retroactively add posts, as well. Just to make chronological sense.

So, we have one midterm under our belt with our final looming at week's end. There's less than a week left on this trip! I can't wait to see what awaits us...

  1. I feel you on the blogger fatigue Dan, I'm at least a week behind, maybe more. I've saved at least a couple drafts with keywords and thoughts I want to expand on more when I get the chance. Who knows if I ever will jaja.
