Just the beginning!

This is the start…the beginning of what is no doubt to be an incredible, life-changing adventure! I have nothing but movies and pictures of Ireland to utilize in creating the very vague mental picture of this distance country that I do, but what I lack in clarity, I make up for in excitement! This is something completely new for me; I’ve never traveled outside of the country by myself before, and not only that, I’ve never had a classroom all to myself either–but both of those things are about to change! Who knows what’s in store, but I’m eager (and of COURSE slightly nervous) for it to come! But right now, as I gather facts, do research, ask questions…this is just the beginning.
