Things have gotten a little tense for a lot of the groups working on this proposal for Digital Hub. We're all feeling very stressed right now, with a 50 page paper, a huge presentation on Friday, a website, and personal reflection essays all haunting our To Do lists. It's frustrating having so much work to do the last week when all we want to be doing is enjoying our dwindling time in Dublin. However, I am always one to love intense, pressure-filled situations, especially when writing and time crunches are involved. (Thank you, Miami Student.) It is interesting to see what people step up to do work, how people handle stress, and what skills and assets really come into play in the final days. I feel bad for the groups who work and live together- makes me pretty thankful for my awesome group! We have not had any drama whatsoever amongst ourselves and are so far ahead of the game- a pretty great feeling. 

Overall, all this work is getting me a little less depressed about heading home in a few days (ah, so soon!) Mary Marshall and I were talking about how all the work here is helping us get ready for classes to begin again. And I, for one, know that I cannot wait to get back to Miami to see all the people I've been missing for so long! In the meantime though, I know how much I am going to miss Dublin. It's hard to think about leaving such a different and fun place.
