Goodbyes stink

So I keep going out and having a blast, but it stinks b/c they're good bye events. Makes me realize how fun some of the people I've met over here are and how I should've gone out more. I mean, the clubs aren't the best, b/c of poor music choice and creepy men, but being out with those bunch of new friends has been great.

Friday was a really fun going away party. Mayhaps on account of it not being their actual last night. Went to the Skeff with Chelsea, Caitlyn and Meg to Pat's going away party. The girls left but I stayed at the party, hanging out with the three lovely Scranton ladies Mandy introduced me to Carolyn, Deirdre and Clare; three girls who I should've hung out with a lot more and who I hope to road trip out east with Mandy to visit some day. Had a blast dancing and even found a beer I fancy, well, sort of. Does a Bulmer's w/ black currant still count as a beer, or is it contaminated? Basically I enjoyed the "snakebite" and the craic at the skeff. I joined them back at Corrib Village, yes another hopping the fence experience, and enjoyed the festivities over there.

Saturday started off sad, I had to wake early and walk in the rain to say bye to Caitlyn... my first friend made here. Although the day got nicer weather wise, it was sort of sad. I went to the market and center with Chelsea and had a great time with her, but studying that day was half-assed and when I went back out with the Scranton/Corrib Village group there was just this cloud hanging over all of it. the, "this is the last time I'm going to see you" cloud. Well, last time until I arrange that road trip.

Basically, I'm slowly being left behind here, which kind of sucks. Ok, I sound really whinny. Let me correct that: I'm bummed to being left behind, but I have some excitement in my life coming up that will def cancel out any sadness: ENEKO AND MELANIE! Although studying for these finals isn't going so well (what's wrong with me) I CANNOT WAIT UNTIL WEDS/THURS b/c that's when I go to Spain and get to see Eneko again! Then right after him, I'll see Melanie! The soon "hellos" make the recent "good byes" (or better, "ta ta for nows") easier to handle.

And now to studying econ... hopefully I haven't forgotten everything b/c my notes for that class are odd...
