the travel bug is like a tick

skyped with mr. parker arnold yesterday to get the ball rollin' on our spring break europe extravaganza! he's in italy and i'm in ireland and over the course of about four weeks in April we are going to conquer europe from east to west :) 

so far this is the first draft of the countries we hope to hit up: Switzerland -> France -> Germany -> Prague -> Austria -> Budapest -> and end it all in ITALY!  essentially we're going to be doing a big ol' circle from the west to the east. got quite a bit more research to do, but this is the start of things. 

unfortunately, i feel as if i'm already running out of money...it really sucks not being able to work for some sort of income. I feel really bad having to ask my parents for more money, but I know it's going to happen within the next month or so. things are so expensive here! I don't think i'm being careless with the things I've gotten so far either...maybe i've had a few more beers a night then i should, but you only live once right! Being here has made me appreciate all the things my parents have provided for me even more. These next four months are gonna be the greatest experience of my life. 

Besides setting up things for my spring break, me & my roommates have set up travel plans to visit Scotland in two weeks and Galway, Ireland after that. ahhhh! :) i've already contracted the travel bug, it's clinging to me like a tick. I have no idea when i'll have time to catch up on all my readings, blah!
