Sorry it has taken so long for a new post. Rebecca has continuously promised me she would also write a post soon, but I thought I'd do my own in the mean time (That doesn't mean I don't have faith!).
Few stories. FirstLY, Sunday we went to Howth, pronounced Haut by the Irish folk. We met up with some fellow SWAPer's at USIT and took the train (Dart) over. It was a giant group of girls that went. We made some new friends, who were mostly Canadian. In Howth we shopped around a little market, climbed some dangerous cliffs, and ate some delicious falafels. It was a beautiful day, and then it rained. See pictures below.
Now our thing is going to Open Mike nights. We've made a few musician friends, to Rebecca's delight. This inevitably leads to me being asked if I sing or play an instrument, to which I always offer to play the egg shakers or tambourine. No one has taken me up on it yet though. For all you Denny (Greys/PS I love you) lovers out there, we totally saw a perfect version of him tonight at an open mike. He was dreamy. I love Ireland.
Lastly, we still haven't found jobs. I've signed up with a temp agency called LaCreme. I arbitrarily wrote on my CV (resume) that I could type 70 wpm. At the pre-interview, the lady told me I had to do a test to check how fast I can type. I instantly started sweating, because I have no idea where I got that number from. Interestingly enough I did the test and got 70 on the practice test and 71 on the real test. Holy crap I'm lucky. Anyway, I'm hoping to get a few jobs through this agency. If not I'll just spend more time working out at the fancy new gym I joined.
Hopefully Rebecca blogs you soon about her encounter with a dementor, and how we found her a unicorn patronus.
Love and misses.
