...
I thought so. But yes. I'm trying to recall what's happened since the last blog post. Many things, methinks. I will probably forget at least half of them. Sorrrrrrrrrrrry. I can console myself over this with the fact that I haven't updated because I have been busy LIVING. And THAT is awesome.
First of all, I just need to say: this may ramble a bit because I am HUNGRY. Coffee hour is an an hour and two minutes. FREE FOOD I SHALL DEVOUR YOU.
That said. Let's rewind to the beginning of March! That sounds like a good place to start to me. So I panicked over my grant and lined up many many different summer opportunities. So if I don't get my grant, the world is still my oyster. (And I have to admit: while I still want the grant, I also kind of want to be in South Bend, too. I'd miss home and the home friends and everything, but there is also a certain someone that I would not mind spending all my time with ;) )
But yes, that whole thing blew over, and now I have a phone interview on Wednesday for an ND job, a job in the sociology department if I want that, a job at the Architecture library if I want that, and the grant application in.
First weekend in March: class trip to Kenmare! 'Twas awesome. We stayed in a nice hotel, ate well, learned hurling, went hiking, drove many, many places. I got sick at the end, which sucked, but immediately following that was AWESOMENESS!
Why? Because Keatley was here!!! We did all sorts of things. We went to Kilkenny and Howth and the Guinness Storehouse (where I had the worst Guinness ever, actually. It was bitter and gross and we have no idea how it happened but it did) and the Jameson Distillery and Kilmainham Gaol and Dublin Castle and Christ Church Cathedral and had many good pints. It was pretty much the shit.
Then Keatley went home =( I did a bunch of thesis work last week, so I'm closer to being done! WOO!
St. Patrick's Day was CRAZY in Dublin. So crazy. I can't handle how crazy it was. But it was still good.
This weekend was... interesting. We didn't have power in the middle of the day on Saturday in the dorms because of work being done. Then my apartment didn't have hot water Saturday afternoon, Sunday morning, or this morning. And I think I know why: when the power went out, one of my roommates had her shower on, and then she wasn't sure if she had turned it off.
She hadn't. She didn't come back to the dorm again until this morning.
Yeah. LAME. But tomorrow it should be back! YAY HOT WATER!!
So that brings us kind of up to date. Hopefully I will stay on track now, but no guarantees. It's the north this weekend, then Rome next weekend. Then a weekend here. Then BAM! Paris and Amsterdam! Top it off with exams and finishing the research... good times, eh? Just gotta let 'em roll.
