Week 1 Complete

So my first week in Galway. Complete. I have to admit that I'm hella nervous about finding a job here. Perhaps I should have stayed in Dublin a couple weeks more. Bah. No regrets I say. Life's too short for those. My first week was nice but I must admit I could have tried harder with handing out CVs. Its discouraging when people won't even take them because they have piles of 'em already. Must. Keep. Trying.

There's this thing called the Volvo Ocean Race going on and its in Galway for a couple weeks. Free concerts and what not. So naturally I haven't gone to any of the festivities. I've been down to the docks once or twice. Ehhh. What's wrong with me? I'm in fucking Galway! I'm just not keen on going out much and spending money till I find a job. Bah humbug!

Don't get me wrong, I have been going out and stuff. Monday night I had a date. Another one ...... *rolls eyes*. He drove me to Salthill cuz I said I'd never been there before. I was surprised at how close it was to the city. Long walk. Short drive kinda deal. We walked on the beach. It was great weather. Nice summer nights breeze. The moonlight dancing on the waters surface. It. Was. So. Gorgeous. Would probably have skinny dipped if the water was warmer. =) I pulled up my jeans and we walked as far as we could into the water without it getting my jeans at my knees wet. And the stars! Let's not forget them. I could see so many stars. Not a big deal to many but when you live in New York City, it is. This is why I moved to Galway. It was nothing short of magical. Nothing. I think the beach in Salthill is going to be my new obsession. I only wish I took my camera but I left it in my bag in the car. =(

In other news, on my walk into town yesterday I got the idea for a photo project. A POV piece. The first one will be called "My Walk Into Town". I got the idea from wanting to remember what it was like living in Galway. I think I'm going to shoot it later today or tomorrow. Check back for it soon.

Cheers!
