The weekend is here, it's Friday night, it's time for me to relax and not stress so much about not finding a job. After talking with Mom, Dad and Katie, I realized I've only been searching for jobs for two days and things can only go up from here.
I spent all day exploring a different part of the city, and I think it was my favorite part of the city. However, I'm positive it was the most expensive part of the city. And the best part, they were not employing anyone at the moment, too, ha. But, oh well. I think I found something that might be more to my liking. When I went out to cash some of my traveler's cheques, some fundraising group was out trying to get people to donate money. When they came up to me, I told them I was foreign, and thats when they told me that I need to apply because this job mainly accepts people that are constant traveler's looking for a quick dollar, or should I say, euro...
So I applied for that. I think it will be more to my liking because I will be working with kids my own age, I will get to be outside, and the best part, the job involves traveling with all expenses paid. I can't wait until I'm able to travel around Ireland and see some smaller cities. Right now it doesn't feel like I'm in a different country (besides from the crazy drivers and accents). It kind of feels like I'm in Madison or Chicago. So once I can start getting some cash, things will start looking up.
Tomorrow I get to see view my new apartment I thinking about purchasing. It is 90 euro a week (a steal) and it is about a 15 minute walk from the city centre. So it will be nice to have more structure to my life and get into a routine. Additionally, it will be nice to meet new people that won't leave the following day.
The hostel is much quieter tonight, which is nice. It has been very hectic all week here, and I was able to get to use the kitchen without bumping into someone else or running out of dishes to cook a meal in.
Last night I got to see Heppe and Jensen and it was awesome! It was very nice seeing familiar faces and just catching up. I also got to see their hostel, and that's when I realized, I'm paying for convenience, not luxury. Their hostel was much, much nicer than mine, and it was only about 10-15 minute walk from mine. We didn't do much last night, we just got some dinner and had a few drinks at their place.
But, yeah, that is it for me. I will have some pictures posted by the time everyone wakes up, and I will blog about my new apartment as soon as I get back from there. :)
