The living room complete with a live Christmas tree!!
(Those of you reading this from Society for Treatment of Autism just might recognize the 'angel' on top)
The Kitchen (the calendar you see on the fride is my countdown to coming home!)
My friend and classmate Kieran drilling a hole in the base of the tree. The Christmas tree was a bit of a group effort. My Canadian classmate Ian is going to be staying in Ireland for Christmas. His wife Danielle is coming to visit (they have also been apart for the past few months). Ian lives in residence so I offered them my apartment to stay in while I'm away. Some classmates and I pitched in to make the place look festive for the two of them. The tree ended up being more than we bargained for. The stand we got was a bit unusual and required a large hole to be made in the trunk. We eventually borrowed a drill from a classmates father but prior to that, several cork screws were sacrificed and remain embedded in the trunk of the tree.
The past couple weeks have been very hectic writing exams and getting ready to come home. I am writing the last exam this week and will be home very soon. Can't wait!!!!!
Love Kell
