Well, it's been two months since we arrived in Ireland. We have a long weekend this week. Easter Monday is a holiday here instead of Good Friday in Canada. But we didn't go anywhere. I'm just so tired on weekdays that I just didn't want to do anything except nothing. However, we did have a dinner get together with a New Zealand couple on Sunday. We met them in the hostel, and they're also here for a working holiday.
Before leaving Canada, I thought that I could live in Ireland for a few years. But it seems like the longer I'm here, the more I want to go home. I know it's only been two months but I’m missing home a lot already. Things are not too much different here, yet everything seems different. That doesn't make any sense at all! They say it takes three months for the culture shock to pass. In that case, I guess I’m going to feel weird for another month. I think I just need to get to know this place some more and find some good things that can keep me here till the end of the year. We'll see what happens in the next few weeks. I think Bo likes it here in Dublin though.

Hi Olivia,
Hang in there. You'll regret it if you don't stay. Get outside, make new friends, get out of the box! Think of it as a learning experience, if you come home now, you won't learn much from this experience at all.
Remember that we all do love you back here in Canada.
I remember when Andre was going through the same as you were. If it helps, head onto Skype and give him a call. I'm sure he can relate.
I remember that's why I started sending care packages... and never quite stopped.
From experience (granted I haven't gone very far away) this too shall pass... good things come to those who wait...
*hugs*
