I suppose the delay has a lot to do with the fact that it's been a slow process getting settled, and it's tough to post about things that are, well, tough. It hasn't been all shamrocks and Guinness and rainbows since I've been back, and that's really the part of the story that I prefer telling.
But life is life. And life ISN'T all shamrocks and Guinness and rainbows all of the time. So, I've decided to give you a little update anyway.
I arrived back in Dublin at the beginning of November. I started working for a pretty sweet cocktail lounge/nightclub with the marketing manager as well as on the door doing some hostessing/pseudo-security. After the holidays, I wasn't scheduled for very many hours at all and it was tough trying to make ends meet. I started job searching and submitting my resume to a bunch of places before the same venue had an opening for floor staff. So, as of a couple weeks ago I am now finally working full time as cocktail waitress/hostess/pseudo-security, and soon they'll have me back in the office helping with events and marketing stuff.
I've been staying with a good friend of mine this entire time, but I will hopefully be moving into my own space sometime in the next week or so. Having my own place will help me feel settled and it'll give me a sense of accomplishing what I came over here to do in the first place. I've been taking improv classes, which has been great, and I recently heard back from a music festival regarding the potential for projector art. This particular music festival is themed around camper-vans. Lucky for me, the lad I fancy happens to be a proud owner of a beautiful one (a dream I've had since I was 13):
So that's really it for me here. Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I haven't even properly left Dublin since I've been back. I'm hoping that will all change very soon though, and when it does I'll make sure to let you know.
And, as always, thanks for reading and I love you.
