Alright, so i say this will be my last major blog before i get home, hostels charge too much to spend much time writing. I am pretty much all packed but i still am going to get up early tomorrow to make sure everything is done and dusted. After last year i am still completely paranoid about forgetting something or leaving something behind. I have two big bags, one of clothes and one of books, my laptop and my back-pack. The two bags are well heavy but hopefully i will not have to lug them around as much. I am looking for a hostel in Boston that is pretty near South Station Bus Terminal, bringing that much luggage through the subway is not a good idea. I will be flying to London at 6 o clock in the evening and arriving in Shannon at around 8:30 on Saturday moring, it had better be sunny i say.

So we had a little going away party last night, twas a civilized affair but a few people from work that usually do not emerge came along and so it was very enjoyable. i got a selection of odd presents, from the plate of potatoes that were sliced to spell BYE PAUL, to a Julie Cooper book and a CD of Cheesy 80's classics and World of Warhammer videos. I also forgot to say that i got the Family Guy movie off Dubs in New Paltz, i watched it today and it is pretty good. I went in to the store today then and said a final goodbye to everybody. This year it has been very different from last. I came over here on my own and now i am leaving on my own. None of ye know the people i met over here or the place i stayed so when i go home it will be like this place never really happened. At this stage however i do not feel that bad about leaving. There were a few people that i will be sorry not to see but i do have their email acounts so i am sure we will stay in touch for a while before gradually stopping. That is something that i have found out since college, between working in Dublin, going to New Paltz, coming here and generally meeting people in college i have met and then lost touch with many many people. When i was younger i could not handle that at all but i am gradually finding it easier, i dont hold out any hopes that i will stay in contact with everyone i meet in college and i will just enjoy it as it happens.

I must be off, it seems that there is no space in any hostels in Boston tomorrow, Uh Uh
