Going to Ireland for the summer

Since I have nothing better to do until I start working in November, I've decided to go to THE MOTHER COUNTRY for the summer :O And by summer, I mean May through October. According to Irish citizenship laws, if a child's parent(s) were born in Ireland, then the child is also a citizen (most Americans find this weird, but it's standard in Europe). Dad was born in Ireland and, although he left at the age of two, that still makes me a citizen. Yay loopholes :D That's nice, since I can stay there and work for as long as I want, without a visa or anything.

The moral of the story is that my great aunt (with whom I will be staying) has no internet access, so I won't be able to update this blog often. So sad. Anywho, enjoy the updates while they last.


EDIT:
On second thought, since I plan on getting some sort of job over there I'll probably just end up paying for internet access. She lives in Cork so broadband is definitely available.

Does your poor great aunt know what she's getting herself into?

That would be a no, since the last time she's seen me was eight years ago :P
