Things I Have To Tell You
1. I'm going to Boston College in the fall. MA in Lit. It was my first school pick so I'm pretty excited. The Irish Lit program there is insanely good, in fact #2 in the country. In other words, it has real Irish professors, haha. Like Yeats. Yeah. Who's laughing now?! Okay maybe not Yeats. Read the fine print below if you're interested in my focus (because I'm assuming the vast majority of my readership---a good 6 or 7 folks--is not.)
Postcolonial Irish and 20th-Century British literatures with a subfocus on global lits written in the diaspora following British decolonization. Think Joyce meets Rushdie meets Woolf. Swoon.
2. I'm back working at Entertainment this summer (I worked for them for a year in 2006 before moving to Ireland the 2nd time). I'm assisting the Custom Book team. We publish little coupon books for corporate clients to give as gifts or incentives. Maybe you've gotten one before? Wasn't much of an incentive, was it? Yeah we get that. But the work pays the bills. Holla!
3. I've been off cigarettes for a little over a month now! I'm running and trying to be fit. I'm joining Weight Watchers so if anyone has tried it I'd like to hear your impressions.
