Countdown to Dublin

I'm very excited because I am only 9 hours away from leaving on a trip to Dublin!  I am so excited!  It's a beautiful day in Swansea, so I spent my morning running 13 miles as a practice for the Liverpool Half Marathon in two weeks.  When I got back to my flat, I found a lovely card from my amazing roommate, Jennifer.  It definitely made my day!  It's super sunny out (and rather warm), so walking to the Spar in the Village was a pleasant experience even while only having a cardigan as a jacket.  I love days like this!  So now I just need to kill a few hours before I head out.  Fortunately, Krista is home for spring break, so we may Skype in her free time, and I need to head to the City Centre to buy a few things for the trip.  I've also got a paper due at the end of the month that I can spend some time on.  These next hours are going to fly by, and then I'll be on my way to Ireland!
