All Good Things Must End

Well it's approaching the last week of the program and I am so excited to not have to go to school for a good month. I also can't wait to go back to normal American Classes. I need structure haha. I guess I'm having an emotional end to everything. Maybe it's because I'm losing my computer, which I mean in all honesty, is like my best friend. I will be falling off the face of the earth in about 24 hours, and will only be able to answer e-mails maybe twice next week. GASP. Isn't that a novel concept. It would be different if I was in Boston and had to give up my computer for a couple weeks, but I'll be in europe traveling and galavanting and Who knows what might happen to me ha! 

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.
