I'm currently back in Ireland, and back at work today after 2 weeks in the states. I had a really good time, but at the sametime I am really happy to be back here. I think the 2 weeks was just enough time for me over there. Boston has changed alot in the year that I have been away and not just all the new buildings.
When my plane landed at Logan Airport, I had the biggest smile on my face the second I saw Boston's skyline sitting on the landing strip. I was so happy to be back there, it was a beautiful day and everything seemed to be perfect. About 7 hours later sitting on a train from Boston to New York the smile was long gone as I was brought back to reality by a nearly 2 hour delay somewhere between Providence and New London.
I took alot of pictures mostly of my mom, and my friends, and when I got to Boston I took a few pictures of some friends there, and one of them accidently deleted all of the pictures I had taken on the entire trip while trying to delete one of him. I didn't realize that this happened until the next morning, when I went to look over all my pics from the whole trip, and there was absolutely nothing there.
Another thing that I realized was that the college lifestyle is the most exhausting thing in world. Days filled with books and projects and nights filled with drinking and other activities. I'm glad that I'm a year removed from that pace. I guess I got old (23) and settled into my job and boring ways pretty quickly because I'm much happier making euros.
It was really good to see my mother, my sister and my brother. Especially my mother who seems to be aging like a fine wine. Whenever she tells people that she has a 23 year old son, they never believe her because honestly she only looks like she is about 30 years old herself. I wish I could have spent more time with her, but I had so much stuff to do. Next time I go to visit her in the states it will most likely be in Florida, and I will be miles away from all my friends in the northeast, so I'll spend time exclusively with the family.  ¶ 11:08 AM
