Limerick's cliffs should be pretty amazing tomorrow. As soon as I'm back in Nott'm on Tuesday I'll get some links to pictures.

Week-end à Paris
So Gen and I had an amazing time in Paris this past weekend. We saw so much: Eiffel Tower at night, Musee d'Orsay and all the priceless art from Rodin, Van Gogh, & Monet, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, Moulin Rouge and a fantastic metro vent outside of it, and finally the palace at Versaille's gardins, Hall of Mirrors, and the royal apartments.
The overall experience was pretty fabulous because of a combination of beautiful weather, really fun hostel, friendly new people, and of course, Gen's wonderful company.
I'm attempting to upload pictures, but Picasa is being tempermental. I'll get them up as soon as possible... though considering our flight leaves for Dublin at half six tomorrow morning, they may not be posted until I'm almost on my way home.
I must go shower and pack now, but I will update more extensively after our trip.

Easter Break
So class is over for the first half of this term and I am packing, or rather, supposed to be packing, to clear out my room. The hall hosts conferences over Easter Break and they use our rooms for guests.
Basically that means that I have to pack up my life from the last two months and live out of a suitcase again. Definitely not fun.
However, tomorrow morning Gen, Syb, and I leave for Paris! Gen and I booked a hostel near the city centre and it looks pretty legit and cool. I will definitely be taking at least a few pictures, but I can't make many promises, as I am lacking a fundamental desire to ever take pictures.
This is the beginning of a pretty whirlwind travelling month for me, so here's the schedule (DAD):
19 March-Thursday: AM flight from East Midlands Airport to Paris, France
23 March-Monday: PM flight from Paris to EMA
24 March-Tuesday: AM flight from EMA to Dublin, Ireland
27 March-Friday: Coach from Dublin to Limerick, Ireland
*28 March-Saturday: All day tour of the cliffs of Limerick
29 March-Sunday: PM flight from Shannon, Ireland to Edinburgh, Scotland
31 March-Tuesday: AM flight from Edinburgh to London, UK; Coach from London to Nottingham
2 April-Thursday: AM Coach from Nottingham to London; PM Flight from London to Atlanta, GA
14 April-Tuesday: PM Flight from Atlanta to London
15 April- Wednesday: PM Coach from London to Nottingham
Between the 15th and the 19th of April, I'm not sure what I will be doing. I may crash at Gen's or possibly meet up with other students and go somewhere in the UK until the dorms open back up on the following Sunday.
Hope you're all doing swimmingly and I can't wait to get to the warm weather of Georgia!
