(no subject)
I will be home the night of the 12th around 10PM (3AM my time). I just got a job offer in New York. I don't have details yet but I'm probably going to take it. I believe I'll start on the 19th. I have nowhere to stay, and that's the yes/no factor at the moment. I can't even believe it though, even though I've been out of the country for 5 months the idea of spending another 2 in a new city is astounding, if not a little scary.
I'm sad to leave Dublin. I've made good friends (from Ireland, UK, and US) and I like the guys I live with. The weather has just turned gorgeous. And though as an American it's difficult to really feel like I belong here, it does really feel like home to me. I've come to see beyond what a visitor would see of Dublin, I get its rhythym, I like it for its ups and downs (though if I were a true Dubliner I probably wouldn't) and it's just the very obvious end of an experienced that has changed me, perhaps more than any other year in my life. So in the spirit of the Irish, I'm not going to waste another minute of my time here by sitting sober in front of a computer. Slainte!
And even though it's been perfectly legal here, I'm still excited to come home and drink legally in the US.
