The Waiting Game

After what feels like a decade of deliberations, forms, changing my mind a million times (collective eye-roll), and some weird searches in the bowels of the US Passport and Visa buildings, I'm finally off to Northern Ireland! Well, sort of... I'm actually writing this from the unseasonably warm suburbs of Boston but after over a month at home, I'm so ready to go I decided to get this blog going.

I'm leaving Boston for Belfast via Newark next Wednesday and in the mean time I'm busy getting all my ducks in a row, making sure my teeth are cavity-free, and eating my favorite foods like they're going extinct. I'm planning to use this blog to keep all of you oh, so devoted readers updated on my experiences, travels, and studies in Northern Ireland and beyond. There will undoubtedly be lots of talk of food, the famous Irish sarcasm, rain, and reflections on all of the above. Please feel free to leave comments here or email me or whatever you like. One final note about the title of this blog, it comes from "Sabrina" (the one with Audrey Hepburn, not the one with the teenage witch) and I chose over the many Lily-the-Leprechaun suggestions, try again next time kids!
