After 10 Years...

It was really cool, insane, weird, and very nice to meet up with Kelly after 10 years! The last time I saw her was when she left in 3rd/4th Grade back in Morrison. It's amazing how sites like Facebook work, lol!

Anywayyy... Kelly took me to see the Book of Kells exhibition, because it's free since she's a student. The funny thing was that she said she's been in Trinity for over 2 years, and yet she still hasn't seen the exhibition though it's located directly across from her lecture halls. WHAT??? If I were a student in Trinity I'd go there to take a break! Plus, the Old Library is so big and grand that I would be motivated to study!!!

After the Book of Kells, she showed me around the school in a bit more detail. But throughout that time we just talked about memories in 3rd grade, and updates on our lives after 3rd grade. Wow, it's really been a long time! We also talked about the news about Shane and Jeni (*TEAR*) and how we felt when we heard them. We pretty much had about the same feelings about their news...

What surprised me was that after she left Morrison in 3rd grade, she has frequently visited Taiwan during the summer, even till now!!! (Her dad still worked in Taiwan). I was like, WHAT????? Why didn't you visit Morrsion???

"Well, because I thought everyone in our class has left, or wouldn't remember me, and I'd feel so alone and weird visiting the school where no one would know me."

LOL!!!

Well, I informed her that there are couple of people in our class who would still know her and such. And that our 3rd grade teacher Miss Neff is still teaching. And she told me that after graduation she'd love to go to Taiwan to teach English, and learn Chinese. She just loves the environment, the food, and the people in Taiwan. I was so happy to hear that, not only that I would be able to see an old friend more often in the future, but also that a foreigner is so interested in Taiwan.

Even though our visit had to cut short, all I can say is that I made a great decision to visit Dublin, Ireland. At least we know that next time we meet won't be another 10 years!
