As you cry

Hello Livejournal.

I have so many things I want to say, feelings and stories and declarations of undying love, but I don't know if I can find the words right now. I should make this post when I am not hungover from some ungodly combination of Guinness, cranberry and whiskey, Desperados beer, tequila (from the bottle), and whatever the hell was in Dara's glass. But I wanted to put down... something. I wish I had been posting constantly for the past week, to chronicle my last days here, but I have been rather too busy experiencing said last days, so. It has been a beautiful, epic week full of friends and laughter and good, good times. I feel so blessed to have had these people, this place, this experience in my life.

The hugest goodbye last night was Louise and Paddy. I'm tearing up again just thinking about it. I put my arms around Louise and just burst into wracking sobs. I think I hugged and kissed each of them about ten times, and it was the most emotionally intense thing I've been through in a long time. They are both such beautiful, pure, kind people who have become incredibly close to my heart. I will be talking to them every day back in the States to keep myself sane.

This morning we put Cary in a taxi. It nearly broke me again.

Tomorrow I fly away. I have to say goodbye to Kate, Niall, and Dara. To say I'm not looking forward to it is the understatement of the year. Before I do that, I have to clean up our bombzone of an apartment and pack ALL of my shit. It's a rather terrifying prospect, especially given that I still have three drunk boys sleeping in various places. James is so bad off that he can't even keep down water. But I will achieve it, somehow. It's only noon.

I am just so overwhelmed by everything. I don't know if I'm strong enough for this.

Second exam's ass: THOROUGHLY KICKED \o/

Two down, five to go!

Becca you would have been so proud of me, I rambled on about G-protein coupled receptors and effector enzymes like a pro! *beams* I rewarded myself with a Cadbury Crunchie bar, because nom nom nom. I will be so sad when I can't have those in the states. I'll have to make Louise mail me a million of them :D

The exam was HUGE! There LEAST 300 people taking a test in there. Maybe 400. It was INSANE. The process of going in, everyone dropping off their bags, reading their seat number, and filing into the hall was this gigantic production, geez. Taking exams here is like taking the SATs - you have forms to fill out all officially and whatnot, and some person you've never seen in your life yelling about filling out forms and how much time you have. It's weird. And my roommates have an exam on Friday in a place that Trinity rents out that normally is a conference hall and CONCERT VENUE, where there can be 2000 people in a room taking an exam. Holy shit. It's so different from home, where you sit in a classroom with your 20 classmates and hand your finished exam to the professor who taught you.

So after my exam I went to the library. I took a half hour break to have lunch with Niall and Paddy (<33333333, seriously) but in total I spent EIGHT HOURS in the library. o.O And it didn't even really feel that long. I got through 7 immunology lectures, which is starting to make some sense (I have that exam on Friday), and I kept myself from going crazy by reading KIDFIC OF DARLINGNESS OMG (<333333333333333, SERIOUSLY) and munching on a bag of wine gums (a gummy candy), which I will admit I only bought because Russell and Noel make a joke about them in the BFQOTY 2006. :D I was also kept sane by periodic visits to Louise and Paddy's desk, commiserating about how awful exams are. I adore them <3333 When she was headed out, Lou brought me a stick figure drawing she'd done of the three of us at Aran Mor, the island we're all going to visit after exams. It was so precious :D CAN I BE THERE NOWWWW???

I'm now going to watch an episode of FNL season 1, which I've been working my way through slowly. Siiiigh, best season of TV ever. S2 was awesome, but nothing can match S1. Amazing.

Love you all!

flksdjfal;dfjks BATTLESTAR GALACTICAAAAAAAA. Best motherfrakking show EVER, holy god. I just caught up to 4x07, the first half of the two parter. Why is not everyone on my flist watching this and freaking out too???

Just some FLAIL )

Whew! That was draining. Quite a "break" from studying, haha.

So that exam that I arrived four hours early for went swimmingly! I put those hours to great use studying in the library (for tomorrow's exam, actually), went and kicked ass on the exam, then came back to the library and studied for three more hours. It was a very productive day! I also got to chat with Louise and Paddy and Laura and Sharee and Bridget-Ann a bit, so that was really nice! Exams are dumb, interfering with my social life. *frownyface*

One down, six to go! \o/

Do you guys know how fucking in love I am with Eliza Dushku? DO YOU??????

...

Well, IT'S A LOT. So much so that I still have TWO icons of Faith when I have no other Buffy or Angel ones. I love herrrrrr. And now she's STARRING in a new JOSS WHEDON show and that sentence right there makes me want to explode for joy. AFlkdsjdlf;kdalsdkjfa;lsdkfj.

This bout of flailing is brought on by THE NEW DOLLHOUSE TRAILER!!!! Seriously, I'm DYIN, you guys. DYIN. (They used a Foo Fighters song too! HELLS YES!)

Eliza looks SO SEXY, she's going to kick so much ass in this role, I can't even.

Also also, there's a clip of a one minute scene from the pilot. CUE MORE KEYBOARD SMASH. (Spoilers in both of these, obviously.) I just.... WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TIL JANUARY?

*flails about* Yaaaaaaaay ElizaandJoss :D:D:D

In more personal joy inducing news, my darling wonderful friends are setting up a trip to an island off the west coast of Ireland for a weekend after exams!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! Three of my MOST FAVORITE people are going, Louise and Paddy and NIALL, and I seriously could not have asked for a better trip to close off my days here. It's going to be sunny and gorgeous and I. Can't. Wait. *beams!*

ALSO JOYFUL, it is FRIDAY and we know what THAT means!! Or, uh, if you don't (which is perfectly understandable), tonight I am hitting a club with Dara and I am EXCITED. *beams*
