Procrastination Post

To Castell Coch
Whoa, the weather just changed in a rather drastic manner going from blue skies and a light breeze to an intense wind that looks like it's going to blow over the tree outside my window. With rain, of course. Blue skies when I was logging in to write this and then rain, right as I began to type. I mean, this is the norm, but it never fails to surprise me how quickly the weather can change here.

Classes have officially ended and we are now in the revision period. I only have two exams, though both are my least favorite classes here - ancient history. So my revision has not been that productive. You could probably say that this post is a form of procrastination. The weather has mostly been so nice for the past week or so and I've just been wandering around the Cardiff area, walking around the city center and along the Taff trail. I found that I'm able to walk to Castle Coch, so I plan to do that when I get back from Ireland.

Yep, Ireland! I'm super excited for this because I've always wanted to go - not quite sure why, but I'm going and am thrilled! I'll fly there, visit Dublin, Doolin, and Belfast, then take the ferry back to Wales and explore Snowdonia. This all takes place right after my last exam, so it's a bit hectic trying to plan everything while revising.

I really only have about a month left in Wales, and then I head to France where I commence the second leg of my studies abroad. As I finish this, the sky is once more blue. Strange.
