On My Radar

I wanted to write a post that gives an insight into what has been on my radar in terms of news articles, music, tv, etc. as of recent. While most of my time recently has been spent practicing clarinet or Uilleann pipes or writing essays, here are some things that have been occupying my fried brain during my work breaks.

First off, I have to post a link to this awesome blog Converse College Admission shared on Facebook. Not only is there a short piece about a mother and daughter alumni duo from Converse that were representatives for the university at a college fair, but the whole blog is dedicated to the advantages of women's colleges.

Another article that literally hits close to home is about the top 10 non-touristy attractions in Myrtle Beach. During our many breaks from working, my roommate Rebecca and I like to find articles or quizzes about our respective home towns and accents. I was one of the first people she had met with a southern accent and she is my first Geordie speaking friend.

For the next thing that has been on my radar for a couple weeks, I have to explain that I am one of those people that can and cannot work in silence. Some noises like people talking or pen clicking really distract me, but at the same time I have found studying in a library is too quite. So a lot of time I will work/study while listening to music. And what has been playing through my headphones has been the awesome group Booka Brass Band. I even got to see these guys live during the Cork Guinness Jazz Festival.

I'm going to leave you all with that awesome video and the two links to check out in your free time. Also, 45 days left until my return to the states!! I can't believe it

love always,
