This blog is going to be a shout out to my Smicks. I couldn't have imagined my Irish adventure without these wonderful ladies. There is something about studying abroad in a brand new place that makes you closer with the people that you are with. You not only learn so much about yourself but you learn so much about others. I have such a great support system here in Ireland.
Last night was one of the first nights I got really homesick. It was just one of those days where I wanted a big bear hug from my Mom and Dad, wanted a Portillo's Italian Beef, and wanted to hear another friendly Chicago accent. There is no place like home and all I wanted to do was be at home with my dog and my parents. But being around the Saint Mary's girls and talking with them made me feel a lot better, and there is nothing more I could ask. When I get upset or sad, I become really quiet and if you know me, that is quite unusual. Everyone came up to me and gave me hugs and told me that they were there if I needed it. When one Smick is upset, we all are. Last night was just a true test of how much I love these girls and I could not be more blessed to be with these girls experiencing and adventure of a lifetime! I love these girls more than ever and I cannot wait to experience these next three months with them! I am so blessed to have them in my life and sharing such an exciting experience!
