| A foreigner in her own capital. The sad tale of a native speaker of Irish and the trouble she had getting people to even recognize that she was speaking Irish - in Dublin. |

| I found the Slugger O'Toole weblog via Karlin's. I have paid less attention to Northern Ireland than the Republic, and found Slugger to be very enjoyable. There was an interesting and intelligent discussion going on there regarding the state of Irish language in Dublin, which of course was rudely interrupted by someone whose time would be better spent improving his own English, rather than criticizing other people's choice of language. |

Life is good again.  I finally received my MA in Hawaiian Language and Literature this month. It was a long haul, but worth it. I'm already thinking Ph.d., and looking at a return to Ireland to do it. Figuring out how to pull it off is going to be the tricky part.  I am looking at the Fulbright program, but understand that there were 37 apps for every available scholarship to Ireland.If there are any Fulbright scholars out there who have any words of advice on the application process I'd be grateful to hear from you. |
