Thankfully I'm sort of used to all the packing, since I've moved house a gazillion times :) But yes, it's a faff, especially when you have to prioritise because you can't take everything in one trip. This initial move is strictly essentials only.

University starts on the 19th of September for me - well, Welcome Week anyway, which I suppose is just a different name for Freshers Week. So i've got a couple of days in Ireland to settle down and sort my head out before i'm thrown into the university environment :)

Jason and I have agreed that we'll have a long distance relationship, staying in touch by phone and in writing as well - he doesn't have a computer so IM/Skype isn't an option. I'm hoping to go back to England during holidays where things should be as they are now as far as seeing each-other is concerned, and I hope to have him visit me in Ireland a couple of times :D
