I WOKE UP THIS MORNING....

...to an empty sky and a frost covered ground. It is the first frost of the season. The winter months of Ireland are just starting to begin, but there hardly seemed to be any difference in the weather until just 2 days ago. We went from regularly warm and comfortable days and cool nights to chilly days and cold nights in a short span of time. It seems like fall was skipped over. Ireland apparently seems to get stuck in a rut somewhere between Halloween and Christmas, where the weather quavers between pleasantly sunny to bone-chilling rain (the latter is in short supply now thank god).
The weather is alot like my time spent in Ireland so far: it has it's ups and it has it's downs and they seem to be almost sinusoidal (pardon my science). Some days I get caught up in how amazing it is that I am living in a different country, with a culture that is completly different than mine and it both amazes me and frightens me.

I have alot of work to do, between catching up with my studying for my exam modules and writing essays for my folklore and music courses, as well as lab reports, tutorials, etc, and alot of it needs to be done today.

*sigh*
