Happy Monday!
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I was so busy getting everything organised for this trip.
So I arrived in Atlanta, Georgia last night. I’m not gonna lie, it was tough leaving home. I was so sad saying goodbye to everyone, especially one person in particular. I was in Chicago and NYC for five weeks just a few months ago so it seemed like this trip came around really fast and I was off again before you knew it!
A beautiful view of NYC from Central Park West in May 2015.
Anyway, homesickness aside, the first observation I made is that Atlanta is HOT! Yikes. And I’m not great with the heat. When you walk outside the hot air blasts you in the face. Like when you open the door of a really hot oven. I’m hoping I acclimatise!
The second observation I made is that it’s dark at 6am! One of my favourite things about Ireland during the summer is the bright mornings, regardless of the weather. I’m an early bird so waking up to a bright morning is a huge bonus for me. It’s pretty bright by 7am though and, to be honest, I probably won’t be getting up until that time anyway! 🙂
How beautiful is the view from my home in Ireland early in the morning? Granted these mornings are few and far between these days!
Today I begin my Fulbright Gateway Orientation program so I will keep you all updated on that over the coming days.
Bye for now!
