Sir Paul McCartney will always hold a special place in my heart. I went to his concert in Atlanta last night, and at 67 years old, he is still rocking! With me were my parents, older sister, two little brothers, and younger cousin. We sat pretty far back on a small hill that wasn't too crowded, but before the concert started we made it up to the second row! A little more than halfway through the concert, it started raining pretty hard, and it was such a great experience! Jamming to Paul McCartney in the rain--it doesn't get much better than that :)

Opening for Sir Paul was a band from Dublin, called "The Script", and they were so cool! My dad bought their CD for my sister and me, and I have to admit, I haven't stopped listening to them since! (In fact, I'm listening to them right now--Please check them out at www.thescriptmusic.com) Of course, I would like any band from Ireland.

Speaking of Ireland, I found some internships in the summer in Dublin that I am seriously considering applying for. It's an 8-week program that guarantees placement in the industry of your choice, includes housing, half board (2 meals per day), transportation to and from the airport, and it's right in the heart of the city! It costs about $5,000 and that doesn't include airfare to and from Ireland; but if I were to try to travel to Ireland for 8 weeks on my own, it would probably end up costing more than that, so it's a great deal for an experience of a lifetime! I'm planning to go either Summer 2010, or Summer 2011. I can't wait--it would be a dream-come-true!

School starts tomorrow for me, and I do not know whether I am ready. I am worried about taking 19 hours; if I manage my time well, though, I know I will be fine. My classes are mainly Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am-11am, with one on Tuesday at 7:30pm, and two classes online. (Although, I am trying to switch my Tuesday class to an online one so that it won't interfere with Choral Society). Anyways, with my open days, I should be able to do all my work with no problem-especially when I sit with Papa. Plus, after this semester, I'll only need 7 hours, so next semester will be a BREEZE!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, and has sweet dreams tonight--Goodnight!
