A Pretty Good Craic..

My procrastination of updating my blog has officially come to an end. A few times I have sat down and surrounded myself in the couch with blankets, ready to pour my heart out to the keyboard but I just can't find the creativity to write, it may be a lack of challenging my brain lately, it may be that I'm as lazy as a sloth or it could be that I'm afraid if I start I won't be able to stop.

The last time I wrote was while I was still in Greece mode, rather post-almost dying Greece mode. The rest of my trip was everything I could have asked for.. well maybe it could have been longer.. I now long for the sun-drenched and Greek cuisine filled days.

I've now been in Galway, Ireland for about 7/8 weeks now.

Even though the "Honeymoon" stage has officially worn off I'm still absolutely head over heels in love with it here, well maybe minus the lowest employment rate in 12 years and the crude folk of the green isle.
I'm long terming at a hostel, The Claddagh hostel, a cozy place full of the kindest, most crazy people you will ever meet.

My days are filled with sleeping, cooking, job-hunting, drinking, wandering aimlessly and laughing my head off at the ridiculousness of this country. It's so easy to get lost in the spirit of this country and just drink all day and everyday until you turn in to a pint of Guinness and not want work another day in my life.

I as of now vow to myself to see more of this country as of my 7 so odd weeks since I've been here I've only seen this city and Inis Mor of The Aran Islands for a couple of days ( They were a really lovely pair of days, don't get me wrong ) .. I just want to see more.

Onward!
