What accomplishment feels like

Announcement: I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED MY ESSAYS! They aren't due for another week or so, but we're hopping onto a flight at 6:30 in the morning tomorrow, so I had to get them all finished! WHAT  a relief.

I had three final essays this semester. For my course on Israel and Palestine, my essay was entitled, "Under the Olive Tree: An analysis of the symbolism of trees in Israel - Palestine". For my course on Labour, Migration and Conflict, my essay was entitled, "Right Wing Xenophobia and Sweden's Mosque Arson". For my FINAL essay that I just finished (!!!) for Human Rights and Global Issued I wrote "Indigenous Self-Determination as a Human Right Set Apart in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples". BOOM. I feel like I accomplished a lot, and I really liked what I produced this semester. 
 


That plane we're catching tomorrow, you might ask? The Canaries. Sunshine. Sand. Waves. HEAT. Oh how I'm excited, I'm already packed (<- one of the ways to procrastinate writing essays, y'know.)! Our itinerary is all done, since I'm an obsessive planner, and we're ready to go! Except that leaving-to-the-airport-at-5am part... that's not very exciting. 

Christmas was wonderfulllll. If you remember, we went on a tour of South-Western Ireland. Although it was quite cold and windy (which can be expected in December in Europe...) we had a great time. There was 12 of us total on the tour, and we saw so many things! 

We saw castles...



and Cliffs...

and lakes...





 


 



Cute towns...

and went on horse and carriage ride...


It was so fun, and a great mix of education and a good time!





In the next month, I'm going to be on 8 different planes.. So stay tuned for more adventures!
