Right when I was accepted to my study abroad program, there was a flurry of Facebook statuses showing my various friends from both college and high school who had also made plans to study abroad at the same time I would be there. One of them was my dear friend Kerry, who had been my first roommate freshman year at Geneseo- she would be spending the fall semester in Galway, and as Ireland had been on the top of my travel bucket list for years, we knew we would meet up.
