Wondering and Wandering I graduated. Now what? Do I live the life I never wanted to live? The one where I move to the city, get a job in a corporate cubicle, and slave away 60 hours a week for $40,000 a year? No thanks. How about 5 years down the road when I settle on a girl I don't truly love, buy the car I don't need, have the marriage that won't last, buy the home I can't afford? No thanks. I want to see things, I want to experience life in every way. This is the only life I've got, I might as well make the most of it and do something I won't foget. So here I am, travelling the world one step at a time. Where I'm going is yet to be decided, how long I'm there is up in the air, but one thing's for sure. Whatever I do, where ever I go, I'm going to be living. You can count on that.

I'm better now, and it's near impossible to find a job here without a visa, you can't get a visa without already having a job. Thanks George W for making this so easy for us. I'm going to be in Galway til Friday or Saturday, then I am off to Dublin. I applied for a few bartending jobs in Galway yesterday, not sure how that will pan out. I also applied for a few jobs online today in Dublin. I also applied for a job at the Univerisity of Ireland Galway in the Geography Department working with GIS. Yeah I know, I hate GIS right? Whatever, it's a job. Lets see if the guy actually responds. Well my time is almost up on the computer. Take care.

Alex, as I sit here at 9:30 AM I know it is 3:30 PM there. You are on my mind at all hours. Just know that every thought is accompanied by a prayer for your well-being.
I miss our weekly dinners. However I am so proud of you and of your spirit of adventure. GF is looking down with his characteristic grin I am sure.
Be well,enjoy each day,and stay as sweet as you have always been.
Love,GM

Crossing my fingers about a job. Good thing you completed the resume before you left. Something will turn up eventually. Deb came by and made it so you can stay a little longer! At least another week in a hostel. Michael K. says hey. Glad you are better and that you are not "stuck in a moment". Our big conference is in a few days - wish you were here (an not just to schlep stuff for me). Love you. Mom

Glad you're not sick anymore, I know how hard to kick that crap when you're in a comfortable place, it must be 20x harder when you're in a different country. Good Luck on all the job searching, something will turn up, or at least point you in the right direction. Every day an adventure, right? Miss you.

Glad you're feeling better. I guess storytelling for a living has already been done in Ireland, huh? Happy Valentine's Day. I'm going to have the best VD ever - Stars-Red Wings game! Woohoo! Go Stars.

I know you miss me : )
Love, J
