"I have heard it said that the first ingredient of success is to dream a great dream.”

Christmas is over and 2014 has begun. Time is really flying by right now and sometimes you really just got to hang on if you don’t want to be left behind. 2013 has been an important year in my life. It’s been the year where I’ve finally been able to move on and start looking forward. I finally graduated from school and began at University College where my studies are finally directed at my aims and goals. I was gone for seven weeks this summer where my visits included England, The Netherlands and Sweden and finally it was the year where my dream about moving to another country was realised. I can only recommend people to look things up if they have a dream and then try to do something about it. My dream about moving to another country had been going on for more than a decade and the most important thing is to do every possible thing within reasonable limits to realise your dream! It might take years and sometimes the dream simply just vanish, but if it keeps being a dream it’s probably because it is something you have to do! (Unless you dream of murdering someone, then you should probably just stay inside and watch soap operas. That will probably drive you mad for real though) Anyway just because my dream about moving to another country got real doesn’t mean that my dream about moving to another country isn’t still on-going. I am happy being in Ireland but I don’t think I am really a ‘one country´-woman. I’m probably a bit wild and the thought of actually settling down scares me and on the other hand it bothers me that everyone else seems to have settled down and moved on with their lives. I somehow feel like I am always a step behind, but that doesn’t really matter as long as I am the one conquering things!
Seen through my eyes 2014 will have something to live up to, but as for now it’s already looking good. I’m going on a short trip to Prague and Schwerin (Germany) in April and in the summer I’m going to be an aunt – and that is what I am most excited about! Also I have to do a three month internship where I am already planning on applying for a position in England. So for now I have some pretty great things coming up this year.
I arrived in Mullingar yesterday and the trip from Denmark was quite long this time due to the fact that I had to wait for flight/bus connections at both Copenhagen Airport and Dublin Airport. But today I woke up to a sunny Ireland.
I’ve had a great time in Denmark and it was really good to see my family and friends again.  I had just got used to being in Denmark so in some way it was a bit annoying that I had to leave, but now that I have got back to Ireland I’m just contented being here.


I’ll finish this update now to make up for the long and boring one last time. I hope you like the makeover I gave the blog and I’ll be back with something interesting (hopefully). And maybe that will be an explanation on why they have signs saying “no” with a picture of a wind turbine on it in Ireland.
