Anyway, I really enjoyed the program, I wish that some of the teachers had a more coherent lesson plan and lectures, but oh well. I can take a class pass/fail I think. If there is one thing that I got from this program it's direction in where I think I want to go with politics and policy. I started out knowing that I wanted to do Public Policy and administration. That was a good decision I made as a freshman, probably the only one I made. Then I came here not expecting much, the Health System here peaked my interest and I ended up really enjoying learning about it and in turn learning a little more about the United States system. This has given me the basis to get back to the US and get involved in health policy in the United States. I might hate it down the line, but I've been passionate about it, but being with Jan and the Labour party has really focused and narrowed my passion. I can now hold a conversation with some one about health care systems around the world. I can't write a dissertation about it, but I could write you a good paper on the Irish Health system's problems, if you gave me some time. But please, not any time soon. I'm over Irish school.
I'm sitting in my bed writing this concluding journal, and it's spring time outside, but there is a nagging guilt in the back of my mind that I need to get to studying for Monday. I've started. I'm in Bed, with my computer and my notes are scattered all around my bed. That's a start right?
Anyway I'm off, It's been extremely fun and I've definitely taken something out of the program, now I'm ready to get home and face reality.
