Getting Ready

Getting ready is half of the battle. I've been researching common European trends and current events, attempting to learn common German words, and researching the weather. On top of those things, I've been studying the geography of the countries we will be visiting as well, just so I'm not totally unfamiliar with my surroundings. I took particular interest in Ireland, in an attempt to plan my trip and anticipate the costs. 

I've saved quite a bit of money for this trip, and with the block grant and the money I've received from scholarships, I'll have plenty of funds for the trip and a nice amount of fallback once I'm back. After coming to this meeting, I found there were a number of people interested in going to Ireland as well, so it'll be nice to have some company on my trip to Dublin. Once I get home, I'll be creating a post on the page and discussing what activities there are in that area. 

The trip is coming fast, and I'm extremely excited!
