I had lots of visitors over the holidays, which was heartening. Arad was here, of course. Fiona (from summer camps) hopped over for four days, during which time the three of us trekked out to Galway. And just after Arad left, Erin (my friend who studied abroad with me here) came to visit for a week.
Academically, I turned in another paper--this one on intersexuality and how it affects our understanding of sex and gender. I've also met with my thesis advisor and begun the process of starting to work on a lit review. At least theoretically I've started.
Having spent my holidays sick (thanks to Arad, who was actually worse off than me),
Most excitingly, however, I got a job!!! I was rather desperate for one, and it's nigh impossible to find anything in this economic climate. I'll be working with children in a playzone, minding them and setting up birthday parties. Nothing challenging, but still fun! I really wanted to do something with kids, so I'm pretty happy about this.
Also, it snowed in Cork several times this week. That is VERY unusual. It is also VERY cold. Hence the picture of me, cold.
