Don't All Speak at Once?

Today, I received two comments (albeit verbal, and from my parents) that I should continue blogging. Fair enough.
Hi Mom and Dad.
So this has been an interesting week for me, culturally. Ireland is celebrating Easter and I am celebrating Passover. I learned (while at a party where luckily everyone was too drunk to be offended) that “Good Friday” is a big misnomer and to never combine the words “Good Friday” with “good.” Also, Ireland celebrates from Friday to Wednesday. At least, the National Labour Party does. I’m off until next week.
I’ve been battling spurts of boredom and hunger since some friends left for the weekend. As a response to both, I cooked fresh cinnamon applesauce, latkes, chicken and vegetable soup, creamy mashed potatoes, garlic vegetable stir fry, and Jell-O. Two days left and counting…
I’ll actually be in Northern Ireland with my study abroad program for the last night of Passover. Two weeks ago we went to Western Ireland (Westpoint, Aran Islands, Galway) and this Thursday morning we leave for Belfast! The last trip was a great time (I have Facebook pictures to copy/paste here should popular demand for my posts continue) and can’t wait for this one =).
