The days since returning from spring break have gone so fast. I've been busy with my internship and trying to see the last of the sights in Belfast before I leave. We went to the ballet at the Grand Opera House and saw The Great Gatsby, Anna Mae and I went to breakfast at Maggie May's, we went to the Bot once more and I visited the Ulster Museum on my own last weekend. I'm hoping to see a couple more things before I leave.
Tomorrow is the meeting that I've been helping to set up in my internship and then afterward is my last WIMPS meeting with the Belfast Central crew. This breaks my heart. I've enjoyed hanging out with the kids and just doing whatever, talking about issues or joking around or storyboarding. I'm bringing candy bars as a farewell treat for them.
Friday is my last day in my internship. This also breaks my heart. My coworkers have come to mean so much to me despite the short time I've spent with them. I wish I had a few more months here to get to know them and the work they do here better. I'm also going to my coworker's partner's birthday celebration on Friday night which should be fun.
Belfast is my favorite city in the world. I've made so many great memories and met so many amazing people here. I've been able to do things I never thought I'd be able to do and I will never forget it. Last Friday, I also got a tattoo of a shamrock on my foot done by an artist in Belfast to have a tangible reminder of my experience here.
On a lighter note, this weekend I'm going to visit my friend Victoria. We are getting together in London to see some sights and do one last trip together before I head home. I'm really excited to see her again so we can catch up!
On Monday we leave for Dublin for a week to experience how the conflict affected the Republic of Ireland. It's going to be a bit strange but hopefully good to have the whole group back together again. I'm interested to get to know Dublin to see how the south differs from the north.
