Pursuing My Dreams

"If your dreams don't scare you, they aren't worth having". My thoughts and dreams right now are kinda scaring me. I'm thinking long and hard about what I want to do with my life - I really want to think about being on radio. Radio is something I've grown up with, and I've kind of always wanted to be a radio DJ. I don't have any ideas about what that job entails, though. What kind of things would I get to do?

Studying Abroad in Ireland!

I'm really interested in an opportunity through Marywood to visit Ireland for 16 days. It's offered through the English department, so I can take either or both classes; Travel Writing and Multimedia Composition. We will spend 16 total days there! We'll visit a small village called Sneem for 8 days, staying in a hotel and mingling with the natives. We'll then spend the next 8 days packing in a tourist vacation! I got to read up on the last group's adventures, and I'm especially excited to visit the village.

If anybody reading this has anything the want to pass on about Ireland, now would be the time!
