Yesterday, December 1st, a group of us decided to take a little swim in Galway Bay. It was a cold but beautifully sunny day, and the water was of course freezing.
I thought we would just quick run in and then run back out, but we actually stayed in the water for almost five minutes, splashing around and jumping in the waves. After a few seconds my legs were numb from the cold so it didn't really bother me anymore!
It was a very memorable way to spend our last day together as a group. The rest of the day was spent packing and cleaning up the cottage, which was quite sad. At night we had a little award ceremony with some very comical awards handed out, which brought up some great memories from the trip. The rest of the night was a final get-together at the pub, with a lot of reminiscing, laughing, and of course, dancing.
This morning my parents got here! It was so strange seeing them here in our cottage. They have gone to the hotel they're staying at in Galway for the night and will come back to get me in the morning. Our next door neighbors, the boys of cottage 5, left this afternoon. Everyone stood outside in the pouring rain to say goodbye when Rory arrived to drive them to the bus station, and there were definitely a few tears in people's eyes, including mine.
How did these months go by so fast!?
