after all the stress of the past few days, i DON'T need a visa?
dreams:
em and clay came over to eat Baileys truffles and get dressed up to go to a baseball game. Clay's hair was its natural color EXCEPT with bright purple roots.
Em and another girl (waxcherries, perhaps) and I were renting bedrooms in my house, from my parents and waxcherries's mom. We talked them down to $237 a month per room.
Lynda from the ol' GBS days was mentioned. She'd gone blind since I'd last heard from her.
I talked to the NY Irish Consulate, and the person I spoke to sounded firmly convinced that I don't need a student visa as long as I have a return ticket dated within 90 days, which I can then cancel or reschedule and do the same applying-with-the-Gardai that I did last time I was there. I wanna call another consulate to confirm, though, since that is the first time I've heard such an answer. Not being allowed into the country would suck.
This morning: swimming with Emma and a good talk about futures and paralysis by options. She's saving the language assistant job in France as a last resort. She can't do that; they're relying on her or else will have to find someone else, and WAY fast. Her reaction is all too familiar to me, though.
Highlights of the morning: thunder before noon and post-swim endorphins. Also, last night I picked up $215. Between that and Monday's $152 (yey renewal mail-in), I'm like $130 from this week's quota.
