While I was away finishing up in Ireland and moving back to the US, I hit 1,000 page views.  I'm so very proud to have reached this and wanted to thank all my watchers for helping me achieve this. Without you and your wonderful feedback, I would never have made it to this. Thank you all so very much. :) So I'm now back in Arizona. Joy. I miss Dublin so very much. In four short months it became home to me in a way I never imagined possible, thanks largely to the friends who became like family to me. Doing this exchange program was one of the best decisions in my life--I highly recommend it for anyone who is considering it--if the opportunity

New Beginnings

0 min read
Good evening all! (or at least all of you who still remember I exist--I wouldn't blame you if you'd forgotten--I'm sorry for my prolonged absence but as predicted with finals and reading week I was not able to be around much to my dismay). Today I finished my final exam at DCU. While it was good to finish and not have to stress or study any longer, now I'm rather sad that my time in Dublin is coming to an end. I leave this Saturday to return to Arizona and I couldn't be more sad. Things have gotten really exciting here--my lovely and talented Austrian friend Phil that I blogged about with the photo contest earlier is now my lovely and talent

So while my last journal was full of good intentions about getting back to DA quickly, my immune system had other ideas. I've been rather sick lately--what started out as seeming to just be some seasonal allergies has progressed to a painful sore throat as well as two eye infections. Grand stuff. Augh. I've caught up on my deviations and messages though, as well as uploaded new stuff, so I hope everyone enjoys them. :) I'll be around, but probably not very actively as I am reaching the end of my term and have lots of papers and exams to prepare for. Not fun at all. Plus, I am sad--I'm leaving Ireland to return to Arizona in 48 days. Ew, way t

I'd love to move back to Ireland as well. I was going to university in Dublin for a bit. Just a fantastic place. Arizona is so different. So brown and dry. Lots of cactus. It's nice now because our winters are always very mild--pretty much like summer every where else. In summer though, it's pretty gross. Gets to be like 40-45C. Hopefully I'll be moving away this summer, first a few months back in Austria and then to London for my Master's degree (if someone accepts me of course).
i'm from the south part of austria!! carinthia!! ^^ maybe u have been there?
where does ur boyfriend live??? how did u get to a man of austria?? ^^
tell me =D and how old are u?

hm.. i would like to see arizona.. i think i could take good photos there =D
maybe i come and visit u haha ^^
I went skiing somewhere in Carinthia while I was there. It was very beautiful. He lives in upper Austria, in Mauthausen. We met in Ireland of all places while going to Uni there. I'm just a mere 22 years old.

AZ is quite grand for photography in many places. It's worth a visit indeed.
