Sorry for the silence! My computer is broken.. sigh. My dad complains that I go through about a computer a year (which is probably true). I'm so bad with technology! I just got this HP netbook for my trip since I wanted a really light weight and portable computer. However, since there's not a lot of memory, I compressed a lot of my files (including my hard drive) so now my computer doesn't even start. Oops. Hopefully when I see my parents tomorrow my dad will be able to help me out.
Which brings me to more exciting news... tomorrow I leave Belfast and fly to London! I leave at the crack of dawn for London where I'll be meeting my parents who are visiting me for a week. It'll be nice to see them and it'll be their first time in Europe.
The Belfast poetry scene is really quiet these days since Queen's has yet to start classes. Sadly, the Seamus Heaney Poetry Center wasn't as lively as I thought it would be. However, I did meet some really awesome people. Including a PhD student named Paul who is currently working on establishing an audio archive of Irish poets. I also met up with Lia Shimada, a Wellesley AND Watson alum! It's nice to make connections and talk to someone in-depth!
More to come once I'm in London...
Cheers!
