new things




Sorry its been a while since I updated! Its been extremely busy around here. In the last week, I have

-Learned what sea glass is, collected some, and crafted a few pieces of jewelry with string, sea glass, and wire.

Finished product:



-Explored Murlough Bay and Torr Head, which are two local scenic attractions and if I may say two of the most beautiful places Ive ever been in my life

-Worked on housekeeping a few days and learned what a horrible ironer I am. Sorry to the woman I was working with…every time I finally finished ironing a duvet I would look over to see that she had done 6 in that time. Oops.

-Eaten way too many desserts and drank way too much coffee and tea. On that subject, actually began the road to addiction to tea. I now have an internal struggle each time when it comes time to decide to choose between a wee cuppa tea and a wee cuppa coffee

-Slowly began hating my computer again. It keeps freezing….hence why I am using the old computer in the main building that someone has sneakily changed all the keys to German language…hence why this post is going to be somewhat short. It is taking me forever to insert all the right symbols and figure out which keys on the board are flip flopped.

-Took a few long walks along Ballycastle beach.

-Started planning a camping trip with Tiff and Eamonn, two fellow volunteers. Hopefully we will go sometime over a weekend in the next month. And were talking proper camping, complete with kayaking and tents. Eep

-Went on a couple dates with a lad I met at Wee Toms pub two weekends back. Quite lovely…

Now I am getting ready to leave for Amsterdam with Kristin on Sunday. My friend from Kilrea, Tom, has also decide to spontaneously buy a ticket and tag along. It will probably be good to have a male in the trio I suppose.

I promise I will update more later. I am just frustrated with the constant freezing of my computer. Why cant it just behave for once….

  1. A date! I need details. Good thing I get to see you soon.

    The jewelry sounds lovely. I want to learn how to make necklaces out of sea glass! Perhaps you should open an etsy site, I'll do free advertising for you on Creole Wisdom. I will, I will!

    I love you so much. Go drink tea :)

  2. Your opportunities for travel sound like a blessing. Careful...sea glass is addicting and Mermaids, and shipwrecks, etc. Great myths and stories there in Ireland. Be sure to pick every ones brains. Happy Hunting.
