The mysterious secret life of Gusgus

My family and I visited County Sligo and its surroundings for two days this week. For any one who doesn't really know Ireland, Sligo is located in the West of Ireland, which is reputed to be the wildest and most beautiful region of the Republic of Ireland.

During our trip we went to two seaweed spas which were really nice and led to the softest skin I have ever had!

Final day at my father's office, just when I was getting used to the extremely long hours of isolation. Hopefully I will be able to work effectively at home for the next few days. Going to Dublin on friday in order to study with a friend, might be helpful. The 'original' book is making me crave stuff I never craved before... 

The weather has been great this week (Irish standards), with sun most of the time and warm (13-16º) weather meaning the cycling to and from work is not a pain (apart from the hilly countryside roads) and my daily tennis games with my father are a pleasure!

Finally heard her voice since Sunday, it made my day! 

Today, I went to my father's office to study in an empty room. The 8.30-5.30 timetable, with no distractions apart from a very original book was strenuous; but the result was that I probably did as much study as if I had stayed at home doing it for 3 days. Since we live 4km away from the work place, we cycled through fields and small countryside roads, which was an adventure by itself due to cattle blocking the road, and the strong wind in the face. Exhausted, but glad of all the effective study done; I hope it will pay in the end and that I will finally pass this damned exam after 2 failed tries!

In an unrelated story, I miss you more than ever; it has been very difficult today due to the intense isolation I was in. It is even tougher because you think I am joking. I hope I will make more sense tomorrow.

Grey skies, cold rushing wind, leafless trees... No mistakes, I am well and truly back in Eire! Last night, had the pleasure of a sea food dinner with fresh langoustines, cod and crabs. Now to try and study... Got to get out of Tumblr and Facebook! Wish there was a price for procrastination... And try to dismiss the urging need of a hug from my favourite blondy...

D-day- Leaving my university home in southern Germany back to my home in County Meath in Ireland for the Easter break+economics exam. It is 20º here in Frankfurt airport, and according to my father who I just had on skype, it is a mere 8º where I am heading! Yay... Not looking forward to the next 3 weeks of intensive studying, and the absence of my dearest and her dog. It will be a good test for our possible long-term relationship next year when I will be away on Erasmus in Italy and she will be somewhere else...

Currently a bit early waiting at the Lufthansa gate B23, enjoying the international crowd of this immense airport rushing to their destinations.

Slàn!
