A quick update to let all my Irish fans out there know that my passport came in yesterday. I will be coming to Ireland; and, I assure you, the country will never be the same.

Hahaha. I'm relieved, though, because if this trip ended up not happening or being postponed due to my lack of passport, I am quite sure that I would NEVER be allowed to forget it.

Also, to clarify my quick to judge cousin's last post, I don't recall her asking me to take care of booking the hotels. In fact, I don't ever recall being put in charge of anything by Kathleen in my 19 years of life. This is a woman who doesn't even trust me to call the YMCA to reserve a racquetball court, but she made me the person in charge of booking hotels in a foreign country? I think not. I have a plan to get her back, though. I'm going to force her to go to every literary landmark I can find. In fact, I'm devoting day 1 in Dublin to tracing Bloom's epic voyage through the city from Joyce's Ulysses...hahaha that'll show her.

Back to the whole final paper writing thing.
