To the best of my ability, I will post the highlights of the past week. There were lots of fun moments, but the week was shadowed by a sort of exhaustion at the lack of structure in the program as well as anxiety and a deep longing to be back at Taylor.
I woke up this morning and decided that I would be content. I will embrace the consistency of the inconsistent. You know, sometimes you really just have to consciously decide some things, even if you don't feel like it. Like choosing
to love God when you don't feel it. Because love is not just a feeling.
Well, Lindsey, its about time to snap out of your self-pity party and realize the beauty around you. Maybe the program and Ireland are not what I expected, maybe there are frustrations along the way, maybe change and separation will ALWAYS be uncomfortable for me, but sometimes I think I just need a literal slap in the face. Would someone please do me the honor?
WABAM!
Thanks for that.

God painted a beautiful sunset for us on Valentine's Day. |

We had a pick-a-date (or polygadate as they are called since we only have 5 guys on the trip) and the theme was awkward prom night. My roommates are the two on either side of me. Corrie and Kayla were nerds, Hannah on the far left was a cowgirl, and I was a hippie. |

That's me on the right corner getting flipped by Will. I got scared in the middle of it and thus landed on my knees. Oops. Hehe. |

We went to this creepy natural history museum. There were hundreds of ancient stuffed, once-living animals. BLEGH. |
