Spent the day wandering around Dublin again (after a morning of orientation). It's amazing that every street you turn down is distinctly different. New cafes, new shops, new people. I'm normally a pretty planned out person, but while I'm traveling I find it so refreshing to be a little lost. I get caught up sometimes going from one thing to the next, as many of us do from day to day, and it's such a simple thing to just slow down and let the wind take you where it may for a bit. Others will follow me and ask if I know where I'm going, if I'm going the right way, but I'm perfectly content with not going the right way. That's how you happen upon some really cool things.
Had the opportunity to see Trinity College, some amazing street art, even more Cathedrals, and even a dog with a binky in it's mouth. I want every day to be filled with new discoveries, even in the simplest of forms (like finding a new Irish beer to try!). Went to a neat little pub called The Bankers Bar with Conner, and two of my roommates, Jena and Morgan, where I had my first dinner of fish and chips (which I'm sure won't be the last). Then, we went to another pub for the evening that happened to be Star Wars themed, and anyone who knows me knows that this made my whole night! I enjoy nights where you can sit with your friends, new and old, and spend your time together talking about whatever comes to mind.
I'm happy being lost because I know I'm lost in the right direction and it's in these times you find your best self.
