Internship
 

I want everyone to keep their fingers crossed for me. I may have an internship researching the significance of a 6th Century (yes, it is SIXTH Century) Abbey in the land of Leprechans! Basically I'd also be trying to help stop the government from putting a road through and to also try and drum up possibly a bit of tourism for the hamlet!) Hopefully I'll know something in the next week or so! I'm SO geeked!!!!! :D

And all I originally planned on doing was asking the head of the program if he had any contacts in Ireland so that I might possibly get a job there after I graduate. Can I also just add that I am SO much more the proponent for letting your professors/advisor know where your interests are because you never know what might fall in you lap (Titanic, Ireland, etc!) :D :D :D :D

Alpha Love!!!

Ooops! Forgot to add that it would be for the whole summer of 2002!

WOW
 

Oh Sarah--that is so awesome!! I was in Ireland 2 years ago and it was just amazing!! Where in Ireland would you be? That is such neat experience for you--I am so proud and jealous at the same time--I want to go back to Ireland now!!! A huge, huge, panda hug for you!

I would be in the village/hamlet/cluster of houses called Aghaboe which is in County Laois (pronounced Leesh). Its in central Ireland which is nice because I have friends down in Cork and Kerry. I actually studied at University College, Cork for a semester in '95 and I was originally planning a trip back this Spring Break with another friend of mine but will be spending the entire summer instead!

All this came about because for a Preservation Research Techniques class I chose the Gaelic League for one of my sites, went there for a fall festival, dancing, etc, and wanted to do more with the Irish for my final project---I just thought it would have been something with Corktown here in Detroit rather than a Abbey in Ireland!

I will definitely keep you all posted!!!!:D :D

Time to head to Titanic.

Alpha love and Panda hugs!! (that's actually rather catchy!)

Sarah

Good luck Sarah! My fingers and toes are crossed for you!!! I would love an opportunity like that! Look at my sisters! So devoted and well traveled!!!!!:D


But still, Good luck, and we cant wait to hear when ya get it!!



Alpha Love &(I love this too) Panda Hugs!!!!(thats great Lesley)
