Well...still no job, but things are feeling a bit more comfortable. Sorry I haven't posted anymore "artsy" pictures on here. I've been really busy.....O.K. that is a complete lie. I have, however, have been working on a portfolio blog (www.toddpiersall.com) It is not ready yet and is still bare bones, but I figure why not let the people see. Anyway, somedays I feel like a photographer and somedays I fee like a dud. Most days actually....
But let me catch you up to where I am right now. I have recently gone to the Guinness store house, where I learned how they make their booze (pictures to follow). The best part of that tour by far is the view you get at the end. You can see all of Dublin in a circular room high atop the storehouse. Splendid.
I met a missionary named Kelly who is from Colorado. He just so happens to be a captain of an ultimate frisbee team here. He was a great blessing to meet. As I was telling David, it was definitely an answer to a prayer. The second answered prayer actually...the first was when David thought he lost his wallet and was about to call it quits on Ireland. He found it though. Hooray God.
I eat a ton of pizza.
I am now volunteering (I think) at the Delfin language school here in Dublin. I offered to have conversations with non-english speakers. Sounds noble doesn't it? Well....at first my intentions would purely to get some money. But once I discovered there was to be no money awarded, I was still excited to do it. So, I had my first conversation tonight with Caridad at a coffee shop close to where I live. She asked if I wanted to learn Spanish and I said yes...but I suppose she picked up on some hesitation in my voice because she said... "If you want to learn Spanish you must commit!!" Yikes. Anyway, she invited me to a party at the language school tomorrow at 7. I promised I'd go..... Oh, I forgot to tell you about Todd vs. The Swiss part of the story but since this post is already long, just ask me about it via facebook or something.
And for those of you who were expecting artsy pictures.....here you go!!
