Is maith liom an Ghaeltacht

So. Ireland was...interesting. I was there for two weeks, in the Donegal Gaeltacht, learning Modern Irish. I did the course for one week last year, and felt it wasn't long enough. This year I did it for two weeks, and felt it was too long. It didn't help that by Tuesday of the second week, I, along with most other people from the course, had caught horrific colds.

Looking back on it, I think two weeks was slightly too long. I began to get very tired and cranky with people, longed to have some time on my own (I was sharing a room, and although my two roommates were awesome, I like my own space), and started having difficulties taking in what was being taught. All in all, though, I'm really pleased I did it. There were some reasons why I was terrified of going back to Ireland, and I'm proud of myself for being brave enough to go back anyway. For now, however, it's slán anois to Ireland, but beidh mé ar ais, cinnte.
