In Glasgow... and thinking about the future.

So here I am in the lobby of the Eurohostel in Glasgow using free wifi. Very nice.

I said goodbye to Ireland for a very long time today, and didn't have a pleasant goodbye (read: I hate Ryanair)- but I won't go into that. It was wonderful in Dublin and I'm glad I went there again.

I am very excited to be coming home soon, however. Only 5 days. I love it here, and have had a wonderful time, but stability is something I'm missing. I also feel the coming onslaught of academics and preparing for the work world.

I'm also soon going to be in a curious position with this blog. I started it expressly for this study abroad trip, and that is now coming to a close. What now? I refuse to deviate from my original standards, i suppose you'd call them, for this blog. As you may remember:
I hate (and I mean hate) really boring online journal junk about how nikki broke up with jimmy and is screwing around on timmy who is so good at Diablo 6 it blows my mind.

But I love blogging technology. And I love my family, friends, and hangers on (not so much the Creepy Online Peeping Toms). And I want to keep up with all you great people while I'm abroad, and show you what I'm doing, and tell you all about it. And I don't want to harrass all you guys with e-mails you won't really read.

So, my solution[was] this.

A blog.
Now the trip will be over soon. I've enjoyed keeping this up, and some of you have told me you liked reading it. The time will come soon where I won't get to write about Europe, but instead perhaps about the Graphic Design, Scenic Design, Theatre, Marketing and whatever work I'm up to.

I do promise that I'll try my best avoid being "emo" or rambling about boring personal dramas- if I keep this blog going.

But beyond that, I'm not sure what will happen. Thoughts?

I do still have plenty to say/write/show you about my trip. But I'll also back in the USA soon, so that will have less immediate appeal :) So, drop me a line. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody again. Keep an eye on this website, and/or tell me what you think.

I will greatly miss reading about your travels, so I think you should continue the blog as a think tank for your ideas. There is no reason not to keep posting post England (sorry couldn't resist the pun). I look forward to hearing from you soon!!!!

I have enjoyed reading of your travels and hope that you will keep up the blog. I do suggest that you post about how experiences from England/Ireland change your viewpoint at FU. Maybe this sounds too middle school projectish but it seems that post trip, there is a new understanding of the world that is overlooked or forgotten by many a study abroad student. And you never talked about going to Wagamama's. *grin*
