Katelyn going to Ireland and my CrAzY DrEaM

My bestest friend in the whole world is leaving for Ireland in about a week and half-ish and although my world is going to be turned upside down without her, I'm excited for her. This first semester of our junior year of college was going to be unique and CrAzY for both of us....she was off to Ireland and I was going to be in Spain. But I had to make a decision before school ended last semester and the decision I made was to NOT go to Spain right now.....I have way too many issues to deal with before I can attempt something like that. But believe me ladies and gentlemen, this girlie WILL spend a semester in Spain before her college career is over.
So with Katelyn leaving I am experiencing an abundant array of emotions. The first couple emotions are me being selfish: I don't want her to go. I know how hard it has been to not see her this summer since I am now living in Lock Haven and she is about four hours away in Erie, so I can imagine how hard it's going to be when she is across the ocean from me. I know how rough and emotionally/mentally draining last year was for me, but I had her beside me the entire time. She never faltered and was there when I needed someone the most. It scares me to think that I'll be going through this semester without her with me. I know we will still talk and our friendship will still remain strong, but I'm going to MiSs HeR LIke cRaZy!!!!
Then there is the other side of me who knows that this experience will be amazing for her. I traveled the summer between my sophomore and junior year of high school and LOVED every minute of it. I went to England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in three weeks, so I know she will love it over there. Plus, how many people can look back on their lives and say that they studied abroad while in college? Not many. Katelyn will see things that many of us will never venture to see, and she will experience things that others can only dream about. And for these reasons I am happy to see her go to Ireland.

Now time to get to my cRaZy DrEaM: In my dream Katelyn leaves for Ireland and a few weeks later and friend (who I didn't recognize) and I decided to visit and surprise her. We show up in Ireland and decide that on our way to finding Katelyn, we will get tattoos....why do you ask? I have no idea....just seemed like the thing to do at the time. So we go to the tattoo place and no one is there, so my friend picks up the equipment and does my tattoo...which turned out AmAzInG by the way. It was a girlish hippo (or something like that) holding something (I can't remember details right now). So we paid the "people" who weren't even there and headed out. As soon as we stepped out of the shop, there was Katelyn. We ran up to her but when she saw us she walked away. So we followed her and it turned into a chase scene (like the ones in the movies). Then out of nowhere, Irish police were after us, who were still trying to catch up and surprise Katelyn. Then somehow a dead body worked itself into the plot and the police were after us for killing someone and all we wanted was to catch Katelyn, hug her, and hangout with her............... Then I woke up to Sepheira (my dog for those of you who don't know) licking my face and whining because she had to go out. C-r-A-z-I-n-E-s-S !-!-!

I'll be sure to write later, after work.....
