QUICK!

Alright folks,

Here's just a fast update:

My thesis is due on the 22nd! Whoa!

I'm now on a co-ed Tag Rugby league and having way too much fun. Our team's name is Tagasaurus. We had a rough first match, but training yesterday was great. I was really proud of how I played.

I finished up the Samuel Beckett Summer School program and performed in one of Beckett's pieces called "Catastrophe."

Some of my friends from my pogram have already departed. Transitions are taking shape once again.

I went to a hulring match on Sunday! Let me tell you, it's an awesome game. Don't know what hurling is? Youtube it. It's like lacrosse, hockey, and baseball all rolled into one. It has the title as "the fastest game on grass."

And as I sit here in the postgraduate reading room getting some work done, I can hear distant bagpipes somewhere on the street playing. It's a Scottish instrument, but it still makes me feel like I'm studying in Ireland. Not a bad soundtrack to study to.

After I hand in my thesis, I hope to head to Edinburgh, Scotland again to watch some of the Fringe Theatre Festival out there. I'll be sure to avoid England for a little while until the riots settle down.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon. Send good thesis vibes for me!
Much Love,

- Jess
