Hey Everyone,

We just had our Final Show here last night at the Burren College of Art. There was 28 students exhibiting work, food & wine, and a generous crowd that showed up. I displayed my new take on landscape with my bubbled images of Ireland countryside along side another artist and friend of mine in a gallery all our own. The Fahy's showed up as well as Bernadette Monks (the woman who cooked me the oysters in the last video...well not cooked....but served). It was a great turn out with many familiar and new faces to see and meet. Now that the show is over that means that the semester is on a countdown...7 days until departure...at least for everyone else. Everyone here will be leaving on the 16th of December while I will be spending the next two weeks doing some traveling...finally! I'm going to have the freedom to do whatever I want...I just have to choose a place to go...I'm thinking Italy for two weeks would be perfect, we'll see. Meanwhile I have to plan on finding a new place to live or at least keep my things while getting around and then anticipate the arrival of my father, girlfriend, twin brother, and friend of mine. I'm not as excited to leave this place as many of the other students...it's sad to leave such a beautiful place. Hopefully when my girlfriend gets here we will make it to all the places that I didn't have the time to get to during the semester...Belfast for one...

Meanwhile I have been just keeping to my work and really trying to get things in order for a departure in one way or another. I'll keep you posted, hopefully from Italy...
