Melbourne, here we come! Thanks for the picture of the pipe organ. There's another one in the Town Hall I'd like to see when I get there. See you SOON! Aunt Nancy
As it should be, you are playing hard and working a little in between. The pics look great. I was talking to a man "down under" where you are today. The accent makes me want to visit just as much as the scenery.
Re: The Next Chapter Thanks, Dave!! That really does make me feel a lot better - I've calmed down a lot and am now just dreading that long plane flight. Thank goodness for movies and sleeping pills!! haha It's nice to hear from other people that had those same jitters. Hope China is treating you well and that you've picked up enough of the language to get at least the basics. Once I get settled in Melbourne, I'll have to catch up with your blog to see what you've been up to and to see pictures! (I won't even attempt any China talk myself - you thought your Aussie talk was lame...) It was really good to hear from you - good luck with the rest of your internship!
No worries, Mate! You'll love it down there.
Ok, that was my lame attempt at Aussie talk. I have never been there, but after having the "what-in-the-world-did-I-get-myself-into" jitters on my way to China, they will quickly pass once you get some of the food and see how beautiful the place is. Enjoy your stay and take lots of pics!

Possible Demographics Source Amanda,
The Infectious Waste Section here in my Bureau keeps a list of infectious waste generators - this includes all the hospitals, assisted care facilities, etc. This info is all covered by the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and is therefore "FOI-able." You may want to check with New York's version of DHEC to see someone in their health regulations or infectious waste regulations program area can provide the same info. Once you've found that out, you may still have to file an FOI request. I know the SC FOI office charges a small fee (around $20-$25) for each request, so you'll want to ask if they charge.
I hope this has been helpful. Have a great time!
I love you, and we're all so proud of you!

Spain sounds awesome I wish I could go to Spain. I'll have to go in college, since i'll probably be double-majoring in it or at least minoring in it. Hey, Burbage said that our first playoff game will probably be the week after Aunt Nancy and Uncle Phil's party, so you should be able to see it. We beat Ridgeview 11-7 and I had 21 saves. Can't wait for you to come home. Love ya.
Pen Pals I hope you're getting some contact names for these companies! You never know when you'll need 'em...! I'm sure the folks in Ireland would love to hear your comparisons of the different countries, too!

Portugal Well, I see someone's been working on her paper! It's great hearing your perspective and the wonderful descriptions of the places you visit! I always look forward to your blogs. Have a great time for all of us!
Love you,
- Aunt Marilyn
Papers!!! At least your paper doesn't have to be 10 point font and on earthworms. I don't want to hear anything. At least you have a somewhat interesting topic.
Traveling w/Amanda Enjoying your travelblog and pictures, only way I would be able to travel. Look forward to the next blog. Love Granny. PaPa enjoying it also.
Re: Class? Woohoooo! or Boohoooo! The Irish accent isn't quite as strong as I thought it would be - probably thicker out in the countryside (or maybe I'm just getting used to it). We actually had a really good lecture by an Irish professor at Dublin City University on Monday about the Irish economy (the only downside is that we heard the "Irish economy story" about 5 times within the first 2 days - it's a big joke throughout the group now). Company visits have been pretty interesting too (finance/banking was a little slow, but that's more of a personal disinterest) - the only bad part of the trip is the number of papers we have to write for the class. So, that's a boohooooo ... but everything else is pretty much a woohoooo.
Re: First Day of Class Hope to get some time to sightsee on Friday (I was planning to do some Sunday before the airport fiasco). Unfortunately, most tourist attractions will not be open Friday because of the Easter weekend holiday, but I'm not sure yet about the Book of Kells (that was a definite stop on my list!!) We ate at a pub the first night and had a Guinness - we'll probably go back down to Temple Bar for dinner tomorrow night. Having lots of fun!!
Hey girl - what a way to spend your summer. Almost makes Goose Creek sound tame by comparison !! Does your schedule allow much time for sight-seeing? Always wanted to see the Book of Kells at Trinity and have a brew in Temple Bar ... Love ya - Annie-B
Good Luck!! It was so nice to see you and catch up the other day!! I know you will have an amazing trip and I look forward to seeing you again soon!
Love ya!
