Jolanta,

I realize my website doesn't have everything that you have required it to have.  I've worked as diligently as I could to get what I have so far but unfortunately I have run out of time to wrap up my site before the deadline.  These are the things I know I need to add.  Please add to my list if there is something you think I'm missing both on the list and/or in my site thus far. 

• Do pack/don't pack;

• Bibliography: I've only used my two tour guides so far (other than the hyperlinked sites within)

• More journal entries and pictures... I haven't touched on the castles we saw in Sligo(Markee/Parkes) and several other things we did in both Ireland and Italy;

• Fun photo page and quotes;

• Make my the links from my home page more detailed (and reorganized, possibly...)

• Add my name and contact info to the end of each page;

• Continue to study up on my poets so I can add more insightful comments on Yeats and Joyce and also to give good links to other helpful sites;

• Major proofreading!!!!!! ( I know I didn't catch every mistake written so far).

In any event I hope you enjoy what I have so far.  I'm mostly concerned with how my website is organized.  I tried to go by the calendar.  I fear that my organization might only make sense to me.  Please give me some opinions or suggestions as to how I can clarify the layout of my site.  I thought when I started out that I would have two pages for each city because I was thinking that having one page would make it seem really long.  But then I ended up doing the rest of the cities in one page which I think is less confusing.  Is there some way to easily combine my Galway pages into one so that my site is more uniform?!  This is the first time I've ever used front page.  I bought myself a copy of it and I want to continue to learn how to use it even after this project is finished.  Maybe you can give me some tips though if you can tell where I've done something the hard way that could've been done a lot easier.  I feel like you're the front Page Guru.  Ever considered writing "FrontPage for dummies"?!   

Going back through all my pictures and working on this project has been more fun than work.  I hope you can tell by my work how much I've enjoyed putting this together and how much I have taken away from the experience.  Huge thanks to you!!!  I can't tell you how blessed I feel to have had my first abroad experience under your supervision.  Not only are you a wonderful professor but you went out of your way to accommodate the needs of 11 other people (who felt like fish out of water) for three weeks.  Whether you were teaching us about Yeats or taking care of my zit you were contributing to us unselfishly as students out of your passion for English.  So glad I had the opportunity to travel with you.  The experiences gained and lessons learned will live on in my memory forever.  Thanks again!!! 

PS.  When I get back to school I really want to meet your son...we have a lot to talk about :o)
