It's been nearly seven months since my last post on here. Part of why I haven't updated is because I wanted to post something really stellar upon my return - some real good, quality piece of writing. But seeing as how I am awash with distraction (despite being unemployed), for now, I will just update on a couple things.
I finished up my post-graduate social policy course at University College Dublin a couple months ago and was recently accepted into the two year Masters in social work at Trinity that I've been vying for since Korean times. I start this autumn. So that's another two years guaranteed here in Dublin, which is wonderful.
Last month I started my own little picture shop on Etsy: Candy Mountain Photos, which you can view here: www.etsy.com/shop/candymountainphotos
Most of you know that I've long been fond of (obsessed with) picture taking pretty much as soon as I got my first passport in 2009. The majority of the listings on the shop are for pictures I've taken in Ireland this past year, though I hope to add my Asian collection sometime soon.
I've been in Dublin now for just over a year. Now that I've this Masters to start and finish, Dublin will be the city I've stayed longest in since New York City, three years ago. The novelty of living here hasn't worn yet and so I hope to be reporting more on things like Irishisms and whether or not it becomes natural for me to insert silly u's into words or break into song for no reason whatsoever.
Here's a photo I recently took in Phoenix Park (bigger than Central Park!) that I feel represents the mood of where I am right now. That sounded way more hipstery than I intended, but sure - I'm a grad student who's trying to sell photos, so what are you going to do.

ReplyDeleteWelcome back Mr/s. Kotter.
(too obscure?)
Not obscure at all! Thanks for the welcome back. Hopefully I'll make this return a weekly thing. Wish me luck!
