Ireland

As luck would have it, I'm going to Ireland in March. It turns out that I had the most awesome professor for finance class last semester who teaches at Belmont Abbey College in Charlotte. He's taking his Globilization in Sport class to Ireland, and suggested that I come too. I mean how would you sleep at night if you turned that offer down? My semester-wide project in class was to create an organization and in my attempt to be creative and create outside the box, I chose to research surfing organizations and camps and things. The place that we're staying at for the first 6ish days in Ireland is called Adventure Ireland. It's a surf camp/outdoor recreation center type place where the water is 12-15 degrees in March. I don't know why that sounds fun to me, because I hate being cold, but it does. So basically we're surfing and climbing and cliff jumping for 6 days in Donegal and then heading to Dublin to be tourists for the last 4 days. Winthrop is really cool and letting me get class credit for it, so I have to help my professor plan the trip and be an adult chaperone type person. I would argue that having to be somewhat of an adult is a small price to pay to complete a 3-hour course in a 10 day period. My passport is somewhere being processed, my money is being sent off this week, and I got a cute little book of Irish history for Christmas. So let's do this.
