A bit of a slowdown...

I imagine every trip to somewhere away from home eventually runs into a bit of a stall, and this trip of course is no different. 

The past week has been marked by classes, making dinner, and the occasional chit chat with someone. Unfortunately that is about it, and it makes for a rather awkward feeling as I sit and wonder what just happened. 

I think it is just an illusion brought on by my different schedule here. I had a small quiz on Monday for History of Ireland, that is literally the one thing I have due this entire month. While November may be a different story, schoolwork has normally been the crutch on which I judge my level of accomplishment. With that missing I have used a surrogate in the form of travel, culture, and experience. When THAT somewhat dried up, you will find me as I am now.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to take a quick breather. In reality I have done a heck of a lot in the past two months. Nonetheless, I am ready to dive back in and will hopefully have some interesting stories to relate again soon. 

We are making a pilgrimage to Glendalough this weekend. It is in the Wicklow Mountains south of the city and is an integral part of Andrew Hoyt's campaign to take over the Campus Ministry world. Retreats like this always offer a great time, plus I've been named official photographer, so that should be an interesting dynamic as well. Tori also comes in to visit on Saturday for the week, my birthday is on Tuesday, and then after that my parents will be in as well. October is going to fly by, so hopefully I can stay on top of things and keep up! Hope all is well in the states, more info and pictures will be on their way soon.
