Ireland-bound!

The day has finally arrived, I leave for Ireland tonight! My flight was delayed a tiny bit, but hopefully I'll make it out of the country eventually! I decided that writing a blog would be a great way to keep the greatest amount of people updated about my semester-and that way, only the people who really want to know can by visiting this blog! I was pretty darn nervous about this trip over the last few months, but I'm finally getting excited :) There will be so many changes, not only in location, but in lifestyle, communication, independence, and responsibility! I will be meeting many new people, which excites me almost as much as exploring a magical/fairy-taleish new land! However, I know there will be times of struggle, frustration, and doubt about my artistic abilities. Due to this inevitability of hard times, I would appreciate your prayers and words of encouragement. I love all of you and hope that your time spent in places other than Ireland will be wonderful! God bless and please pray for me during my travels!
