I need an IRELAND! icon...
Aug. 1st, 2007 01:39 pmI am on hold with Aer Lingus, to confirm my ticket bookings that Dad made last night.
It's frustrating, but also hilarious. Their hold music is a lady singing what I'd like to call "Irish pop lite"--a tinny, phone version of a vaguely, stereotypically Irish song in an elevator-music style. Mmm, just what I wanted. Except that she keeps getting interrupted by a man's voice, almost-accented with Irish, who tells me about all these fabulous deals I can get on their website.
Oh, god...the piano just came in...
Yay! A real person! & it's all good. :D
I'm starting to get really excited about this trip--I mean, I was before, but then I got bogged down in details & organization...but I had one of those moments today where I fully realized I was going to be living in Ireland and studying theater in Dublin for nearly four months! (& yes, all the italics are warranted. This is thrilling.)
It's also these moments that make me realize how incredibly lucky I am, both in what I'm going to & what I'm leaving behind when I go. It works both ways, & I'm overflowing with it.
