May 3 – Day 22
I had my first dinner guest in my new apartment. Lauren, who I met at church over the weekend, came over for dinner. We talked about the transition into life in Ireland as she came over 1 week before I did. She has a job offer with a financial company in Ireland, but she is waiting for Irish work authorization paperwork and she just found out it could be a total of 10-12 weeks and I think she is only 2 weeks into the waiting period. That’s a long time to wait to start a job! She brought me hangers and a couple hand towels. Much needed items! My clothes are stacked in piles on my empty bed and I only have one bath towel, so no hand towels in the kitchen or bathroom. I am so thankful! It was a wonderful evening.
May 4 – Day 23
I booked my first European flight today. Three of the people on assignment from Canada had planned to go to Istanbul for a 3 day weekend the end of May and they invited me to go along. I am very excited to go! They have already booked our lodging and we have a crazy red-eye flight from Dublin to Istanbul on May 31.
I also got invited to a BBQ tonight with the Canadian crew. It’s about a 2 mile hike from the office out to the house. I’m going to walk out there with a girl from work and then I’ll have to find a way back to the train or just get a taxi later this evening. This is 2 nights in a row with social engagements…My social life in Ireland is improving dramatically!
