Day2: no news is good news eh?

So hello-

I haven't heard anything from the places i applied to. I also made some online applications to apple.com, as well as posted my resume to a coffee shop. they advertised online but did not give the address so all you could do was apply online. I will be calling the temp. agency tomorrow but as for today i will look at a few flats. I have 5 lined up.

I also found some more organic shops and put my application in at these locations. i also put in my application at a place called The Bakery which duh makes baked goods. it didn't sound like they were hiring but i talked to the head baker. I also applied at Penny's and Dunnes Stores. Penny's is like a Target or something of that sort, and Dunnes is like a department store. Not my favorites but i need something. i am thinking about applying at some movie theaters, as that would be none too stressful. there are many bar/pub jobs available but i don't want to be walking home by myself at night and they only want experienced staff.

In the temple bar area i found a couple of art exhibitions and a concert. inside the center square there was this horrible reggae band playing but it was entertaining to hear a reggae band up here in Dublin, Ireland. I also went to two art exhibitions. So the first one was pretty lame but the art was based on this artist that i can't think of right now that put polyeurathane all over her art, and it ended up giving her cancer or something from all the fumes. And before i knew it was based on this i walked by the shalacked rope thinking, i hope this person is aware of the dangers and that there was an artist who died doing this. There was also a bunch of info about the 4 students who died in the 60s during a peaceful protest at a campus i can't think of right this second but you should remember. so overall kind of a lame exhibition but it was free so whatever. The other exhibiton was called Borderlines. it was about the border towns on the Republic or Ireland, Northern Ireland border. there was some poorly edited video, but some great photos as well as audio interviews. i almost cried when i heard this story an older gentleman was telling about how when he was a child he split a sausage with an officer on a dare and then when he went back to where is friends were they said stuff like "why the fuck did you do that?" that's the enemy. And he said it was not the person you should hate because he knew the soldier did not believe in what he was doing. Wow, no grudges no nothing. Needless to say there were some other stories that were not as touching including stories about parents being in Sinn Fein (said shin faen). So hey there might be hope for me learning irish after all!

i don't know if i have mentioned that i have been trying different candy bars from this country, i had a "yorkie" yesterday which is a milk chocolate bar with raisins, buiscuits and chocolate. not bad. and today i had a "crunchie", crispy honeycomb covered in milk chocolate. i don't recommend the second one, just tasted like burnt sugar on the inside. so off to see apartments. talk to you peeps later.
