Our next excursion

Jennifer and I booked our flights to our next destinations! We're flying to Dublin, Ireland, this Thursday. We'll stay for two nights, then catch our flight to Paris. European flights are sooo cheap! I found a flight to Ireland for 10 pounds which is pretty amazing considering we booked it only three days in advance! If anyone is looking for flights use www.skyscanner.com. It compares all the discount and regular airlines, and you can book really cheap tickets especially if you look far enough in advance. Paris was expensive, and skyscanner wasn't too much of a help, but there was no getting around the pricey of Paris regardless of how early we booked. I found it funny that our flight from Paris to London is only 25 minutes flying was about half the price of the chunnel though! I'm getting pretty excited with thoughts of travelling again. I think Jenn and I feel as if we know the ropes now...hopefully we're not getting too big for our britches as my granddad liked to say. Just the thought of Dublin is exciting to me even though I really don't know much about it. I love the Irish accent. It's definitely been my favorite. I am, however, slightly nervous about Paris. I know no French. And I definitely have no understanding of how it works phonetically. I'll have to work on the art of gesturing prior to our trip because I'm a lost cause at learning the language. My attempts are seriously laughable. I know. I've been laughed at several times because of this. I think my last tutor purposely worked in French art into my essays to get a chuckle.

So I have a small vaca, then I'll be back to writing essays....ugh...not looking forward to that. My next tutorial topic is medieval art which I have a scant amount of knowledge of so I've tried emailing my next tutor to get a few sources to read before term, but she hasn't replied. I guess I'll just have to do...nothing. Shucks. From now till Thursday, I suppose I could read up on the Crusades and feudalism, but I'm finding it very, very hard to motivate myself to do that.
