*Advice alert* When preparing for an extended period abroad it is important to be organized and have all aspects of the trip thoroughly thought out, preventing as many foreign mishaps as possible. I suggest making a to-do list.
That being said, I have been focusing on one thing at a time on my list -- logically leaving the less important tasks (flight times, housing, figuring out how to exchange currency, transportation plans, registering for classes) for last and beginning with the more pressing matters (wourking on spelling with added u's, highlighting the route from my apartment to Bono's favourite pub, starting a blog, etc).
But of all of the preparations that need to be made and the tasks that must be checked-off, there is one particular question that must be sourted out before I can rest easy and get my full 14 hours of sleep a night.
What will my theme music in Ireland be?
Keep in mind, music is like mood plastic wrap - squeezing and locking in all of the flavours of what I assume to be an innately emotional country (cue the light rain, the rolling hills, the billowing clouds, the mossy walls, the romantic history, the poets, the stone castles, even cue the strangers, the other side of the ocean, and the hundreds of miles between my mother and me).
There is much to look forward to with the theme music artist, including, but definitely not limited to, being the background melody in a dramatic post-trip photo montage.
I have narrowed the choice of theme music artist to a lucky few.
Never fear, I will let you know when the final cut is made.

I vote for Glen Hansard from "Once" Molly! Look no further! Please also remember that I have "connections" in Belfast, I collect coffee mugs from foreign lands and there will also be hundreds of miles between your second mother and you! I will certainly miss you and the private poetry readings in the CMC. Have fun for me, OK?!?
