Ireland 2007 (by Dans Digital Darkroom)

I went to school with her for a year when we lived overseas together, and we always stayed in contact (so it’s not like with some random I met over the internet haha)

BUT, my mom won’t let me go. My mom was really close with her mom, and she doesn’t have a problem with my best friends family… I just don’t know how to convince her to let me go. 

I’ve traveled within the states by myself, and we’ve traveled a lot together so my mom doesn’t really have a problem with that. 

And it’s not TOO expensive. And if I had to make the money, I’d definitely find a way to get it haha. 

So what should I do to convince her to let me gooo? :(

Sometimes I look at my pictures and I can’t believe I have actually been to these places.

I really dont want to go home next week. I am too happy here with Iona and just being us. Going home will ruin that, and we cant just curl up on the sofa together without worrying about people coming in or kiss in the corridor or in the kitchen. When we get home everything changes again, back to hiding even more than we do now. Considering staying here over summer…… I LOVE CORK!!!!

A good thing:

Ireland will devote €2 million of its €31.3 million aid budget for Tanzania to nutrition this year as part of a joint initiative with the US.

A bad thing:

The global shortage of health workers is estimated at 4.2 million by the World Health Organization (WHO), but the migration of doctors, nurses, midwives and pharmacists from poor to rich countries means the shortfall is not evenly distributed - of the 57 nations identified as having reached a crisis point, 36 are in sub-Saharan Africa.

A thing to change:

Tomorrow the Australian Senate will debate the National Radioactive Waste Management Bill. The Traditional Owners of the site in the bill, the Muckaty Land Trust are deeply divided over this issue. A Federal Court case contesting the nomination and selection process has been brought by some of these traditional owners. This case has not yet been heard. Ask the Senate to wait until the case has been heard before they consider the bill: http://www.oxfam.org.au/act/take-action/close-the-gap/2011-06-stop-parliamentary-debate-on-radioactive-waste-legislation
